(Verse 1)

Birmingham, 1920, smoke hangs thick and low

Brick streets shimmerin', where the shadows start to grow

The Shelby name is whisperin', a chilling, rising dread

From the speakeasies they're flourishin', where the bootleggers are fed.

(Chorus)

Shelby boys, Shelby girls, with eyes that flash and gleam

Diamonds and gin, and whispers of a violent dream

From the Lyric to the Grand, their presence fills the air

A family of sin and power, beyond any care.

(Verse 2)

Tommy, sharp and cunning, with a smile that hides the knife

Deals in dice and fast cars, a life that's cut for life

Arthur, with a steely gaze, runs the numbers tight

Keeps the coffers overflowing, and takes the city's might.

(Chorus)

Shelby boys, Shelby girls, with eyes that flash and gleam

Diamonds and gin, and whispers of a violent dream

From the Lyric to the Grand, their presence fills the air

A family of sin and power, beyond any care.

(Bridge)

The rumble of the Model T, the clinking of the glass

A city's secrets whispered, as the gangsters plan their mass

The fire in the backroom, where the deals are cut and sealed

A symphony of sirens, the price of secrets revealed.

(Verse 3)

The whispers turn to shouts, the music fades to fear

A rival gang is rising, their shadows lurking near

A bloody clash erupts, on a cold and moonlit street

The Shelby's iron fist descends, their victory complete.

(Chorus)

Shelby boys, Shelby girls, with eyes that flash and gleam

Diamonds and gin, and whispers of a violent dream

From the Lyric to the Grand, their presence fills the air

A family of sin and power, beyond any care.

(Outro)

Birmingham's golden age, bathed in a crimson light

The Shelby dynasty whispers, through the endless night.

The city's heart beats faster, a pulse of fear and greed

The Shelby's reign continues, though their story's hard to heed.
