distorted guitars, aggressive, male vocals, layered with growls and shouted gang vocals for emphasis, rapcore, rap, pounding drums, gritty male voice

Lyrics
Intro
(Yeah!...)
Verse 1
Concrete veins pumping cold in the night
City’s a beast, teeth glinting in the streetlight
Footsteps echo, paranoia my twin
Breath like smoke, every shadow a sin
Rats in the gutter, they whisper my name
Cops in the rearview, mafia’s the same
Fingers twitch on the trigger, heart's ticking bomb
Dark alleys my cradle, my kingdom of wrong
Chorus
Shadows in the alley, we run, we hide
Darkness our armor, the night our guide
They want us broken, but we won't abide
Shadows in the alley, can't kill our pride
(Ough!)
Verse 2
Trash fire glow paints my face in flame
Every corner a gamble, survival’s the game
Windows got eyes, walls breathe lies
I’m the ghost in the mist, the wolf in disguise
Blood on the bricks, memories stained
Pavement's a canvas, the city’s insane
Streetlights flicker, my pulse does too
Every crack in the concrete knows what I do
Bridge
Echoes bounce, we blend with the mist
Fists clenched tight, scars mark every twist
They want us erased, names lost in the list
But this war ain't over, we fight to exist
Chorus
Shadows in the alley, we run, we hide
Darkness our armor, the night our guide
They want us broken, but we won't abide
Shadows in the alley, can't kill our pride
(Ough!)
Outro
Hide in the dark, where the light don’t tread
City don’t sleep, it just counts the dead
Echoes of sirens, whispers of pain
Born in the shadow, I’ll die in the rain
End
