Down the block

[Intro] [Verse 1] Tires screech in the d**d of night, Headlights flash but I’m outta sight. Pedal down, got the map in my mind, Every alley a thread, every turn redefined. Whispers crackle on the radio breeze, “Suspect last seen dodgin’ the keys.” Heartbeat syncs with the sirens’ wail, A chess game where the streets tell the tale. [Chorus] It’s not a race, it’s a shadow ballet, Dodge the heat, let the fog be my alley. Code red, but my pulse stays steady, The art of vanishin’ when the world gets heavy. [Verse 2] Mirror’s clear but they’re gainin’ ground, License blurred, no name to be found. Echoes of footsteps in the subway’s hum, A ghost in the grid, where the static’s from. Paint a fake trail, leave a phantom scent, They chase the wind while I reroute the vent. One wrong move and the net closes tight, But freedom’s a rhythm in this neon night. [Bridge] The city’s a maze, I’m the ink on the page, Every flicker, every flicker, a decoy stage. They’ll hunt a reflection, a flickerin’ lie, ‘Cause the truth’s in the shadows, where the brave don’t fly. [Chorus] It’s not a race, it’s a shadow ballet, Dodge the heat, let the fog be my alley. Code red, but my pulse stays steady, The art of vanishin’ when the world gets heavy. [Outro]
