[Verse 1]

Lost in the chaos, world crumbling around me

They told me, "Stick to rules, boy, you're too reckless, can't ya see?"

But I don't care, I'm out here living on borrowed time

Life's a game I gotta play, a million thoughts in my mind

Life is cold and dark, shadows crawling in my space

Living fast, dying young, in this reckless human race

[Chorus]

Living in the dark, fighting shadows in the night

World's a battlefield, always ready for a fight

Breaking through the pain, every tale leaves a scar

Life ain't what it seems, so I ride with who we are

[Verse 2]

Hustle on the streets, never show what's inside

People judging, pointing fingers, but I ain't got nowhere to hide

Confrontations got me twisted, dealing with neighborhood drama

Just another hustler aimlessly trying to dodge the karma

Feeling some type of way, with this hedonistic plan

Life's a flickering flame, and I'm holding to what I am

[Chorus]

Living in the dark, fighting shadows in the night

World's a battlefield, always ready for a fight

Breaking through the pain, every tale leaves a scar

Life ain't what it seems, so I ride with who we are

[Bridge]

Every turn's another battle, every step's another war

In this world full of darkness, I'm the force you can't ignore

Playing the villain, in this urban tale I chase

Life and death coexist, only shadows see my face

[Chorus]

Living in the dark, fighting shadows in the night

World's a battlefield, always ready for a fight

Breaking through the pain, every tale leaves a scar

Life ain't what it seems, so I ride with who we are
