Smoke in the Shadows

[Verse - spoken word - low male vocal]
Smoke curls like secrets in the air,
Streetlights flicker, shadows dare.
Sneakers echo on the pavement,
Voice drops low, the beat's a warning.
Smoke in the shadows, eyes stay sharp,
Every breath is a silent spark.
Grit in the grind, no time to waste,
Smoke in the shadows, we don't chase.

[Chorus - low male vocal]
Smoke in the shadows, we move like ghosts,
Smoke in the shadows, we take the blows.
Smoke in the shadows, we speak in codes,
Smoke in the shadows, we never show.
