Never Blink

Intro

Cold morning, city breathing

Steel nerves, I wake, still scheming

Eyes watching, daydreaming

Every line they cross, I’m streaming

Verse 1

I'm wide awake, won't catch me napping

Bleak blocks, backstreets, where trouble’s trapping

Heavy hands, harder habits, sworn enemies plotting

Blink, you miss the warning—now somebody’s dropping

Step on stones, souls get lost in the shuffle

Single file, fake smiles, my circle’s a tunnel

Freeze face—could never mask my struggle

They pack talk, but in the dark, hands fumble

Not one to fold, I’m posted up solo

Heart turned cold, regrets ride in slow-mo

They say, say my name, but it echo through smoke

Tryin' to pull cords, but they all choke

Chorus

I see the lies in the eyes of the opps

I see the talk, but they run from the shots

I see the pride, it’s a mask 'til it drops

I see the opps, but I’m higher, I’m not

I see the lies in the eyes of the opps

I see the talk, but they run from the shots

Post-Chorus

Never blink, never break

Heavy breath, these streets don’t wait

Never blink, never break

Verse 2

Misdirection, their reflection—fear on the surface

Windows shakin’, all that frontin' worthless

Another night, plans unravel, jaws tighten

Snakes shed skin in the alley, still frightened

Maybe you know how the vultures hover

Maybe you seen fake love make you wonder

Maybe you stay up, calculating what’s next

Or maybe you run, but run from yourself

They claim that they clever, claim that they move better

Clutter in their chatter, smother under pressure

Facts—no fiction—my mission is different

Their words, my actions, collision’s consistent

Chorus

I see the lies in the eyes of the opps

I see the talk, but they run from the shots

I see the pride, it’s a mask 'til it drops

I see the opps, but I’m higher, I’m not

I see the lies in the eyes of the opps

I see the talk, but they run from the shots

Post-Chorus

Never blink, never break

Heavy breath, these streets don’t wait

Never blink, never break

Bridge

Still I rise, my own shadow, no allies

Still I rise, looking past their disguise

Still I rise, silent thunder in my stride

Still I rise, while the scared ones hide

Verse 3

Bare traces where they stepped, paths not followed

Tough talk, paper thin, empty and hollow

Watch close, watch them scatter, stutter, shake

All that tough talk crumble when the rules break

I stay locked on, laser thoughts, focused

Show teeth, wolves feast in slow motion

No law, just lines—crossed every morning

Opps in the mist, but I never heed warnings

Chorus

I see the lies in the eyes of the opps

I see the talk, but they run from the shots

I see the pride, it’s a mask 'til it drops

I see the opps, but I’m higher, I’m not

I see the lies in the eyes of the opps

I see the talk, but they run from the shots

Outro

Never blink, never break

I watch, I wait

Never blink, never break

Still standing, fate’s slate

Never blink, never break
