Rude Awakening

[Verse]
Smoke clouds thick, can’t see my reflection,
Cash in the air, that’s divine intervention.
City full of snakes, venom in their sentence,
Rolling through the shadows, leave 'em all defenseless.

Chain on my neck, swinging like a guillotine,
Sharp words cut deep, blood on the magazine.
Bag full of sins, call it heavy artillery,
Every verse deadly, this ain’t no soliloquy.

[Chorus]
Rude awakening, don’t step to the throne,
Every syllable a bullet, every rhyme a stone.
Rude awakening, this my danger zone,
Step back, fall flat, you ain’t built for the tone.

[Verse 2]
Grimy like the gutter, dirt on my boots,
Root of all evil, I’m just bearing the fruits.
Shadows in the corner, whispering truths,
I’m the echo of the city, spitting forbidden roots.

Face like a mask, heart cold as the moon,
Dancing with the devil to the bassline tune.
Life’s a ticking bomb, every second a wound,
Ruthless on the mic, leave the crowd marooned.

[Chorus]
Rude awakening, don’t step to the throne,
Every syllable a bullet, every rhyme a stone.
Rude awakening, this my danger zone,
Step back, fall flat, you ain’t built for the tone.
