[Verse] Got a suitcase full of dirty cash In a world where nothing seems to last I wash it clean in the laundromat Hope nobody sees where I've been at [Verse 2] Dodging questions like I'm on the run They want answers but I give them none Buyin' cars and fancy diamond rings Pretending I got these legal things [Chorus] They say money talks but mine just screams Covered up in shadow-dreams Tryna hide it but it seems The truth unravels at the seams [Bridge] Lookin' over my shoulder every night So afraid of the flashing lights Praying they don’t see my plight Livin' wrong but hoping for right [Verse 3] I count my blessings and all my sins Nothin' good ever comes from wins But I keep on playin' this rigged game Riskin' it all for a little fame [Chorus] They say money talks but mine just screams Covered up in shadow-dreams Tryna hide it but it seems The truth unravels at the seams

[Verse] Met you in a smoky room the lights were dim You tossed a dart it flew right past the rim Aimed at my heart but it was no sin Cuz' hitting the target is where love begins [Verse 2] We're spinning around just like a dartboard Every throw a chance worth waiting for You broke my shell right to the core Now every game we play just means much more [Chorus] Oh hit me with your bullseye love Straight and true from above When you aim you make me believe That love is the prize we achieve [Verse 3] Late-night glow with neon signs You and me crossing all the lines Your eyes are darts and your smile shines In this game it's hearts and minds [Bridge] Every throw a step closer here we glide Like a dart in the night taking side by side No need to worry where our hearts might hide For in this love we always confide [Chorus] Oh hit me with your bullseye love Straight and true from above When you aim you make me believe That love is the prize we achieve

[Verse] I see them mimic every move shadow in their eyes They think they found a groove oh what a sweet disguise They walk in every step I take echoes in the dark But they don’t know the fire it takes to make a broken heart [Chorus] They stare they gawk they imitate my ways But they don't know the cost of living in these days Laughing in the mirror they think they've found a key They’ll never be like me no they'll never be like me [Verse] They paint a picture of my face eyes of a charade But when the lights are out you'll see who really starts to fade Words they like to steal as if I don’t exist But my soul’s a firestorm ready to persist [Chorus] They stare they gawk they imitate my ways But they don't know the cost of living in these days Laughing in the mirror they think they've found a key They’ll never be like me no they'll never be like me [Bridge] Hahahaha they laugh but they don’t see the scars I'm dancing on the edge while they’re stuck behind the bars Pretend all you want but you don’t know the pain Try to be my shadow but we're never the same [Chorus] They stare they gawk they imitate my ways But they don't know the cost of living in these days Laughing in the mirror they think they've found a key They’ll never be like me no they'll never be like me

[Verse] Dog on the lawn just munchin' on a bone Rat got a plan cause he don't live alone With a twitch and a snap the rat made his move Dog never knew he'd be the rat's groove [Verse 2] Down the alleyways they're making a dash Rat's got a smile dog’s in a flash Neighbors peek out wondering the ruckus Dog’s in the shadow rat’s got him in focus [Chorus] Oh no oh no it’s a sneak attack Big ol’ dog got swiped by a rat Nobody knows how it came to this One small critter stealing all the bliss [Verse 3] Rat’s got a lair beneath the old shed Dog's scratching dirt wishing he was fed But the rat’s got cheese and a wicked scheme Dog’s dreaming now of a running dream [Bridge] Tables have turned in this crazy chase Dog’s got a rat squared off face to face Rat’s no fool he’s got a quick escape Leaving dog to ponder and chomp on fate [Chorus] Oh no oh no it’s a sneak attack Big ol’ dog got swiped by a rat Nobody knows how it came to this One small critter stealing all the bliss

[Verse] Tick tock time it never stops Counting seconds on old clocks Rhyme and reason fade away Minutes lost 'til end of day [Chorus] Hold on tight to moments fleeting Every heartbeat echo's meeting What we chase or what we find Time will leave it all behind [Verse 2] Lost in laughter then it's gone Morning breaks into the dawn Hold the memories in your hand Like running fingers through the sand [Bridge] Clocks keep ticking never slowing Where's the place that we are going Time will lead us down the road Endless stories to be told [Chorus] Hold on tight to moments fleeting Every heartbeat echo's meeting What we chase or what we find Time will leave it all behind [Verse 3] Eyes wide open yet we're blind Seeking truths we seldom find Time a thief with endless schemes Stealing moments from our dreams

[Verse] We met in the rain one night under city lights Two strangers lost in a world so wide Shared a smile then came the fight Enemies born from stubborn pride [Verse 2] We screamed our anger stormed the grounds Fought through words we lost and found In that fury friendship's sound Grew from ashes where we drowned [Chorus] From friends to love we crossed the line Hearts on fire lovers blind Sparks flew high in moments kind Till love's flame was left behind [Verse 3] Days turned dark the nights grew cold Once close lovers now we're bold Strangers once and strangers old A story that was never told [Bridge] Back to shadows we retreat In the end a bittersweet Love and hate they can’t compete We're just echoes in the street [Chorus] From friends to love we crossed the line Hearts on fire lovers blind Sparks flew high in moments kind Till love's flame was left behind

[Verse] Flames they crackle in the night Burning bright just out of sight You and I a wild fire Torching every old desire [Verse 2] Friction sparks a hidden glow In your eyes whispers show Take a breath ignite the sky We are stars that burn on high [Chorus] Burning through the dark we go Leaving trails the world will know Scorching paths we light a blaze Set the night on fire’s haze [Verse 3] Heatwave rising off your skin Molten love where we've been We combust in every glance Lost in our inferno dance [Bridge] Ashes fall like summer rain We’re the storm that can’t be tamed Hearts ablaze forever more Dancing on the devil's floor [Chorus] Burning through the dark we go Leaving trails the world will know Scorching paths we light a blaze Set the night on fire’s haze

[Verse] Big tech towers reaching the sky Engines whirring as they pass by In their castles made of glass The digital future's here at last [Verse 2] Always watching never sleep Data secrets buried deep Algorithms rule the game It's a world we'll never tame [Chorus] Rise up stay woke stay free Guard your world of liberty Eyes wide open hearts on fire Break the chains they conspire [Verse 3] Captured minds in shiny screens Puppets dancing in their dreams Clickbait kings and queens of code Masters of the dark upload [Bridge] In the shadows they will loom Echo chambers spelling doom Truth is scarce a dying breed In the wild we must be freed [Chorus] Rise up stay woke stay free Guard your world of liberty Eyes wide open hearts on fire Break the chains they conspire
