SHADOW Slowed

Ash On my shirt. Black lungs, black heart. Short fuse, long night. This that co-star. Backseat, backs flat. Whole block know my face. Lean step, slow drag. Steel tucked at the waist. I don’t pack too much. I just watch door. It’s the slide we slide. Ain’t no keeping score. It’s that midnight elbow. Blood on my halo. Eyes straight, rage low. Creep in where they stay though. Teeth gold, soul sold. Heart like a payload. If I die, lay low. Ride in the same old. It’s that midnight elbow. Stain on my shadow. Short breath, freeze froze. Walk like a shadow. Grave talk, case closed. Name on a bando. If I die, they know. I never change codes. Two phones, both ring. Bad news, one tone. One hit, screen crack. Whole life on loan. Dark tint, slow roll. Old sins, new smoke. Big deals, small trust. Whole gang cutthroat. I don’t fear that flame. I’ve been burnt since kid. They just bark online. We do what they did. It’s that midnight elbow. Blood on my halo. Eyes straight, rage low. Creep in where they stay though. Teeth gold, soul sold. Heart like a payload. If I die, lay low. Ride in the same old. It’s that midnight elbow. Stain on my shadow. Short breath, freeze froze. Walk like a shadow. Grave talk, case closed. Name on a bando. If I die, they know. I never change codes.
