DARK STREET CIPHER — NO LIGHT
Lyrics
INTRO — LOW / DISTANT
Yeah...
Fuck it.
Look...
Ain't no angels where I'm from.
Just ghosts...
And the ones who survived 'em.
VERSE 1
Cold nights.
Dead streets.
No sleep.
Still breathe.
Came up where the weak get preyed on.
Where a good heart gets you played on.
I learned quick.
Don't trust shit.
Keep my name.
Out they mouth.
Keep my circle.
Real tight.
Keep the snakes.
Out the house.
I seen love.
Turn to hate.
Over one damn mistake.
Seen a friend.
Switch sides.
For a dollar.
And a name.
Fuck a promise.
Show me action.
I don't care.
What you claim.
I got scars.
I got demons.
I got shit.
I don't say.
Still wake up.
Still grind.
Still stare.
Death in the face.
HOOK — HEAVY / SPACED
I came from the dark...
Where the cold hearts grow.
Where the fuck you been?
When the whole world froze?
No trust.
No love.
Keep that shit on the low.
I walked through hell...
Still ain't letting go.
Still ain't letting go.
Nah...
Fuck that.
I don't fold.
VERSE 2 — HARDER
I don't need.
No applause.
Fuck fame.
Fuck clout.
I was broke.
In the dark.
Still found.
My way out.
They was laughing.
At the struggle.
Now they asking.
For a piece.
Funny shit.
How they love you.
When they see.
You got a feast.
Where the fuck.
Were you at?
When I slept.
On that floor?
When my pockets.
Had nothing?
When I knocked.
At your door?
Now you calling.
My phone?
I don't answer.
No more.
You had chances.
You fucked up.
That's your loss.
Not my war.
I got blood.
In my memories.
Pain in my chest.
I got rage.
In my bloodstream.
Still ain't dead.
Yet.
HOOK
I came from the dark...
Where the cold hearts grow.
Where the fuck you been?
When the whole world froze?
No trust.
No love.
Keep that shit on the low.
I walked through hell...
Still ain't letting go.
Still ain't letting go.
Nah...
Fuck that.
I don't fold.
VERSE 3 — DARK / LYRICAL
I hear voices.
When it's quiet.
That's the shit.
I don't mention.
Every loss.
Left a hole.
Every scar.
Got a lesson.
I was young.
With a mind.
Full of death.
And regret.
Had a heart.
Full of rage.
Couldn't trust.
Couldn't rest.
I watched good people.
Turn cold.
Watched the innocent.
Get broke.
Watched a mother.
Lose hope.
Watched a brother.
Lose soul.
So forgive me.
If I'm distant.
I don't owe.
You my trust.
I seen too much.
To believe.
Every smile.
Is love.
Fuck a handshake.
If the deal.
Ain't solid.
Fuck a promise.
If your word.
Can't hold it.
I came from.
The bottom.
Where the pain.
Made soldiers.
Now I walk.
Through the fire.
Like the devil.
Can't touch me.
VERSE 4 — CIPHER SWITCH
No savior.
No hero.
No halo.
Just horns.
I was born.
In the storm.
I got scars.
From the war.
They want peace.
I want truth.
They want smiles.
I want proof.
They want me.
To forget.
I remember.
The truth.
Every time.
That they left.
Every lie.
That they told.
Every hand.
That they pulled.
Every time.
I was down.
And they watched.
Me get cold.
Now I'm back.
From the grave.
With a chip.
On my soul.
You can hate.
You can talk.
You can pray.
For my fall.
I don't give.
A fuck.
I survived.
It all.
FINAL VERSE — SLOW / MENACING
This one's.
For the lost.
For the fucked up.
For the broken.
For the ones.
Who kept moving.
When the door.
Wasn't open.
For the kid.
With the rage.
And the pain.
In his eyes.
Who was screaming.
For help.
But got told.
He'd be fine.
I know that feeling.
That dark.
That pressure.
That voice.
In your head.
Saying fuck it.
Just quit.
But I didn't.
I stayed.
I got meaner.
I got wiser.
I got colder.
With age.
Now the darkness.
Know my name.
And the devil.
Know my face.
I ain't running.
From shit.
I done walked.
Through the flames.
So if death.
Come knocking.
Tell that motherfucker.
Wait.
I ain't finished.
Not yet.
I got more.
Left to say.
I got people.
To protect.
I got debts.
Left to pay.
And the man.
In the mirror.
Still refuses.
To break.
OUTRO — WHISPERED
Yeah...
Fuck the darkness.
I became it.
Fuck the pain.
I embraced it.
Fuck the ones.
Who betrayed me.
I survived.
And replaced 'em.
No angels.
No saviors.
No peace.
Just scars.
Still breathing.
Still standing.
Still here.
In the dark.
