Lyrics
Intro
Out on the street corners, buses roll on by
Shadows drifting past, lurking low, running high
Verse 1
See 'em posted up, hat pulled low, no hello
Face hidden, just drifting, got nowhere to go
Dodging the grind, skipping lines, let the time stall
Subways loaded but they barely lift a call
Seat taken, eyes blank, nothing in their hand
Anger in the air, they hover, make their stand
No hustle, just waiting, dodging the sunrise
Living off the system, watching hope vaporize
Chorus
Black shadows riding, silent through the town
Everywhere they linger, trouble goes down
Smoke in the air, heavy is the vibe
They don't want the hustle, just taking the ride
Verse 2
Sticky stains on the window, smell never leaves
Stories never spoken hanging underneath the sleeves
Bent rules, loose change, no mission to push
Only chasing coins they never have to earn or clutch
Train stops, doors open, same ghosts step aboard
Never break a sweat but always bored, always ignored
Footsteps echo louder as they move down the aisle
Collecting every handout, wearing out denial
Chorus
Black shadows riding, silent through the town
Everywhere they linger, trouble goes down
Smoke in the air, heavy is the vibe
They don't want the hustle, just taking the ride
