Rearview Fears

Intro

Fog in my lungs

Running, running

Never done

Shadows stretch long

Verse 1

Hood up, hands in pockets cold, no excuse

Two a.m., my city silent, broken curfew

I chase shadows, street corners all staring

Empty alleyways, concrete keeps daring

Past ghosts I know, locked doors behind me

Quick steps echo, who set eyes to find me

Trust nothing, footsteps doubling down

One word, face gone, everybody back down

Now, I’m sliding through smoke, night clipping the edge

Single shot ringing out, duck behind the hedge

Stray dogs bark, I hold my breath, fade

Grew up quick, got steel in my gaze

Chorus

I chase shadows, I chase fears

Nothing but the smoke in the rearview mirror

I chase shadows, I chase anger

Grew up where you hold and trust that banger

Post-Chorus

Shadows run, I run too

Shadows run, I run too

Verse 2

Watch enemies gather, consorting in whispers

Same old block, new threats, different fixtures

Late night mission—mask up, vision narrow

Snakes in the grass, eyes sharp like an arrow

Run from despair, but violence follows fast

Every corner, every promise—never meant to last

One call, one beef, shots in the rain

Weight on my soul can’t name the pain

Anxious, fam hungry, nights so raw

Bag full of cash, but crime’s the law

Losing friends, catching cases, block stay tense

Silent prayers thick, innocence past tense

Chorus

I chase shadows, I chase fears

Nothing but the smoke in the rearview mirror

I chase shadows, I chase anger

Grew up where you hold and trust that banger

Post-Chorus

Shadows run, I run too

Shadows run, I run too

Bridge

I hear you laughing underneath your breath

Swore I’d make it, escaping death

Countless losses, stacked up like graves

But see me rise up, enemy stunned amazed

Never second guess, never slip, never freeze

I’m chasing shadows, can’t rest, can’t breathe

Verse 3

Night after night, old scars resurface

Flee the sirens, but embrace the curses

I made my hell, walked that line

Pulled on triggers, sipped cheap wine

Paranoia heavy, run my zone

Never felt safe, heart cold as stone

I chase shadows, no rest, no rescue

Stacked up secrets, rollin' in the vestibule

Chorus

I chase shadows, I chase fears

Nothing but the smoke in the rearview mirror

I chase shadows, I chase anger

Grew up where you hold and trust that banger

Post-Chorus

Shadows run, I run too

Shadows run, I run too
