Heavy ring 💍

Hook - Slow, Melodic

This ring don't shine no more, it only weighs me down Every time I look at it, I see him on the ground Ring, ring, tell me why — I let an angel die Ring, ring, heavy gold — bought my soul and sold it cold

Verse 1

Yeah... iced out pinky, used to flex it in the club Now I tuck it in my pocket, can't stand looking at the blood Mafia Don, they called me king of the concrete jungle But I was just a coward with a trigger and a hunger He came to cuff me, badge shining, voice steady and calm Said "You got a daughter too, don't make me use my arm" I laughed, reached for my piece — pride poison in my veins One shot, chest opened, red rain on windowpanes His body dropped, his eyes wide, looking for the sky I stood there frozen, watching another father die My ring caught the streetlight, sparking like a demon wink That's when I knew forever, I'd be the missing link

Hook

This ring don't shine no more, it only weighs me down Every time I look at it, I see him on the ground Ring, ring, tell me why — I let an angel die Ring, ring, heavy gold — bought my soul and sold it cold

Verse 2

Now I sleep with lights on, his face behind my lids His kids on the news crying, I hid what I did My crew calls me soft now, say I lost my killer edge But I found something worse — a conscience on a ledge I go to where he fell, leave roses that turn black This ring feels like handcuffs, no key, no going back I touch his name on the stone, whisper "It shoulda been me" The gold gets colder every year, that's my penalty They say power costs, but nobody warned the price Is wearing your own coffin, wrapped in blood and ice

Bridge - Spoken, Breaking

They don't tell you... when you pull that trigger... you don't kill them... you kill yourself... slow... every morning... every mirror... every ring...

(Final Hook - Quieter, Fading) This ring don't shine no more... it only weighs me down Every time I look at it... I see him on the ground Ring, ring... tell me why... I let an angel die Ring, ring... heavy gold... bought my soul... and sold it cold...
