[Intro]
Life’s a blade, cuts deep, leaves scars,
Born to bleed, trapped beneath the stars.
[Verse 1]
Life’s a cage, I’m rattlin’ bars with my rage,
Every day’s a war, flippin’ pain to a page,
Bills stack high, dreams crash fast,
Chasin’ hope, but it’s slippin’ through the glass.
Born to lose, that’s the script they wrote,
System’s a noose, tight grip on my throat,
Boss wants my soul, streets want my bones,
Phone’s dead silent, but the debt still phones.
Run through the grind, with my heart on freeze,
Mind’s a maze, no exit, no keys,
Spit so quick, like a bullet through the breeze,
Life’s a thief, stealin’ peace with ease.
Friends turn ghosts, love’s a cruel joke,
Trust gets choked, in this hustle I’m broke,
Keep movin’ forward, though the path’s a hoax,
Rap’s my blade, slicin’ life’s cruel yoke.
[Chorus]
Life’s a scam, I’m dodgin’ the trap,
Weighin’ me down, but I’m spittin’ it back,
No win, just strife in the black,
Still I rise, with my rhymes intact.
[Verse 2]
Came from the dirt, where the light don’t reach,
Mom worked doubles, but the fridge wouldn’t eat,
Dad was a shadow, left scars I can’t breach,
Life’s a sermon, but it’s pain that they preach.
Every night’s a fight, tryna silence the screams,
Demons in my head, tearin’ holes in my dreams,
Lost my brother to the needle, sister to the streets,
Life’s a game of chance, and it’s playin’ for keeps.
Wrote my pain in bars, let the ink bleed out,
Carried all my grief, till my heart screamed loud,
World keeps spinnin’, but it’s crushin’ my route,
Still I stand, though I’m riddled with doubt.
Tried to find peace, but it’s always a lie,
Smiles are masks, hidin’ tears that I cry,
Life’s a storm, and I’m caught in the eye,
Spit for the broken, till the day that I die.
[Verse 3]
Life’s a slaughterhouse, I’m the meat on the rack,
Dreams get gutted, leave ‘em bleedin’ out black,
Hope’s a carcass, chopped up in the fray,
Every step’s a wound, bleedin’ joy away.
World’s a butcher, carvin’ chunks of my will,
Blood on the pavement, from the lies that they spill,
Heart’s a warzone, shrapnel tears through the thrill,
Life’s a grim reaper, and it’s comin’ to bill.
Faster now, I’m rippin’ through the pain,
Bars like a blade, slicin’ life’s cruel chain,
Spit so rapid, leave the beat in a stain,
No escape, but I’m fightin’ the rain.
Grind chews my bones, spits me out in the cold,
Soul’s on auction, but it’s never been sold,
Life’s a guillotine, droppin’ fast, uncontrolled,
Still I rap, till my story’s been told.
[Chorus - repeat]
Life’s a scam, I’m dodgin’ the trap,
Weighin’ me down, but I’m spittin’ it back,
No win, just strife in the black,
Still I rise, with my rhymes intact.
[Outro - ominous spoken word inspired by Necro]
Life’s a maze, with no exit in sight,
Born to battle, in the endless night,
Yet I spit my truth, till I burn out bright,
In this cruel game, I’m the spark of the fight.
