Street Legend
[Intro]
(Heavy distortion, slow 808 pulse)
Yeah, you feel that?
That’s the sound of the city breathing
It’s cold out here...
[Verse 1]
Cold steel in the morning light
Shadows dancing in the middle of the night
Got a heavy heart but the 808 is heavier
Walking through the fire just to make it to the barrier
They see the shine but they don't see the scars
Counting up the minutes while I'm looking at the stars
Bass vibrating in my bones like a tremor
I’m the ghost in the machine, the ghost of December
Every step I take is a rhythm I’m keeping
While the rest of the world is silently sleeping
[Chorus]
Concrete veins, pumping nothing but the cold truth
Built a kingdom out of ashes in a phone booth
Hear the hats ticking, time is slipping through my fingers
But the echo of the bass is the only thing that lingers
Yeah, it’s a hard knock, hard heart, hard road
Carrying the world, man, I'm 'bout to explode
(Bass drops heavy)
[Verse 2]
Rapid fire hats like a ghost in the attic
My life’s a movie but the screen is full of static
I traded my peace for a piece of the throne
Now I’m surrounded by many but I’m feeling alone
Turn the sub up until the windows start cracking
I’m the pilot of the soul and I’m never backtracking
Pressure on my chest like a ton of the lead
Too many voices living inside of my head
[Bridge]
Can you hear the rattle? (Rattle)
Can you feel the battle? (Battle)
Underneath the lights where the shadows grow tall
Waiting for the drop, waiting for the fall
[Chorus]
Concrete veins, pumping nothing but the cold truth
Built a kingdom out of ashes in a phone booth
Hear the hats ticking, time is slipping through my fingers
But the echo of the bass is the only thing that lingers
Yeah, it’s a hard knock, hard heart, hard road
Carrying the world, man, I'm 'bout to explode
[Outro]
Let it shake...
Let it break...
Just a ghost in the 808...
