Cold Shadows

Hook:
Cold shadows on the block, where the lost ones roam,
Survival’s the code, this street’s my home.
Eyes wide open, trust no soul,
In the city of wolves, you gotta stay cold.

Verse 1:
Cracked pavement, my footsteps echo pain,
Every corner’s a lesson, every loss is a stain.
Hood dreams fade in the mist of the night,
Hunger in my chest, gotta fight for the light.

Verse 2:
Ghosts in the stairwell, whispers in the hall,
Seen brothers rise up, seen legends fall.
Money on my mind, but the price is steep,
Gotta play for keeps, no time for sleep.

Verse 3:
Steel nerves, heart of stone,
Raised by the struggle, I walk alone.
Trust is a weapon, hope is a myth,
Survive or perish, that’s the code I live with.

Hook:
Cold shadows on the block, where the lost ones roam,
Survival’s the code, this street’s my home.
Eyes wide open, trust no soul,
In the city of wolves, you gotta stay cold.

Outro:
When the sun goes down and the silence grows,
Only real ones know how the story goes.
