Lyrics

*(Verse 1)*
In the ghetto, black gold rules the day,
I sell death, I’m the faithless king.
Betrayed stares, smothered cries,
My .44 speaks—they disappear.

The asphalt thirsts, I quench its pain,
A stray bullet? Still leaves someone bleeding.
Cops got me in their sights, but I slip away,
I learned to count… bullets, not prices.

*(Pre-Chorus)*
The streets took me in, then cursed my name,
Between two cardboard sheets, I signed my fate.
Blood or gold? I chose without delay,
Now I look at my hands—don’t recognize ‘em.

*(Chorus)*
Trigger click, prison silence,
I lived in sin, I die forgotten.
History’s written, then erased,
Like a stray bullet lost in the night.

*(Verse 2)*
Walls got ears here—talk too much,
A warrant out, my face in black and white.
Jail ate me alive, lost my fangs,
But even caged, I kept my venom.

Years pass, new faces rise,
Don’t even know my name on the walls.
I was a kingpin, now I’m a ghost,
A toothless old man hidden under stone.

*(Bridge)*
Thought the game would mourn me,
But there’s no candles in crack’s hell.
Just a shroud of trash bags,
And the distant echo of an old gunshot.

*(Chorus – Final)*
Trigger click, prison silence,
I lived in sin, I die like this.
History’s written, then erased,
Like a stray bullet lost in the night…

**Outro:**
*(Wind sounds, distant voice)*
“Hey, you remember him?”
“Who? *…silence…*”
