Lyrics
yeah my name Hector carrion
(Verse 1)
Late night, riding all black Impala city lights low hoodie up, low brim
Got a hunger in my eyes, but i never plays pretend Springfield Massachusetts is my home
Walkin' through the alley like he owns every brick
Heartbeat calm, but his mind move quick
No chain on his neck, I was homeless I'm still at the shelter just got a housing voucher within a year it's a rap stackin cash just a chill in the air
Footsteps silent, but you feel that he’s there
Clean white walls in the hallway gleam
He’s the shadow in the frame of a crime-less scene
(Pre-Chorus)
He don’t bark, he don’t boast, he just breathes in the smoke
Every move calculated like a secret code
You can feel that he’s dangerous, cool to the core
When he steps through the door, you don’t ask what for
(Chorus)
He moves like a wolf in the city of sheep
Eyes on the prize while the rest fall asleep
No wasted motion, every step is a plan
Maffia style aura, but his hands stay clean as he can
He moves like a wolf, yeah, he’s born for the hunt
Quiet in the shadows, always months in front
A young hood legend with a soul made of steel
In a spotless world, he’s the only thing real
(Verse 2)
Corner store neon, cameras on the roof
He walks right past and they never catch proof
No fingerprints, no prints on his kicks
Just a whisper of a name on a neighborhood’s lips
He don’t flash no bills, don’t talk too loud
He just nods to the few who are cut from his crowd
Respect in his gaze, but a storm in his head
‘Cause the streets made him sharp while they fed him with bread
(Pre-Chorus)
He don’t bark, he don’t boast, he just reads every face
Every hallway, every silence is a map of the place
He’s the chill in your spine when you feel eyes near
But when you turn around, there’s no one there
(Chorus)
He moves like a wolf in the city of sheep
Eyes on the prize while the rest fall asleep
No wasted motion, every step is a plan
Maffia style aura, but his hands stay clean as he can
He moves like a wolf, yeah, he’s born for the hunt
Quiet in the shadows, always months in front
A young hood legend with a soul made of steel
In a spotless world, he’s the only thing real
(Bridge)
Clean white background, but his soul got scars
He been running these streets while they reached for the stars
He don’t brag on the pain, he don’t cry to the moon
He just moves through the night like a silent monsoon
You can scrub every wall, you can polish every street
But you can’t bleach the truth from the wolves underneath
He’s the calm in the storm, he’s the still in the fight
A ghost in the daylight, a king of the night
(Breakdown)
Wolf in the hallways, wolf in the lane
Never leave a trace, never drop a name
Hoodie pulled low, but his vision stay clear
If you feel him passing by, that’s the echo of fear
(Chorus)
He moves like a wolf in the city of sheep
Eyes on the prize while the rest fall asleep
No wasted motion, every step is a plan
Maffia style aura, but his hands stay clean as he can
He moves like a wolf, yeah, he’s born for the hunt
Quiet in the shadows, always months in front
A young hood legend with a soul made of steel
In a spotless world, he’s the only thing real
