Lyrics
[Verse 1] Eyes peeled wide, but the cage still right here,
Just another summer day—black queen, you hear?
My brother ain’t beside me, he chose that dark lane,
Turned the block to a tomb where the pain stay the same.
Bloodshot peepers, he blinked—still alive, no luck,
No sun in his sky, just the weight of the what ifs and fuck.
Blind to the light, but the fear got him locked,
Like a ghost in the system where the dreams get shot.
[Pre-Chorus] Blind to the rights that the green conceal,
Midnight got my sisters lost in the surreal.
No light, just the white—powder, no spark,
Red eyes burn bright in the pitch-black dark.
Bowed head, empty, let the weakness feed the phobia…
But the war ain’t over—this the before the chaos.
[Chorus] Life ain’t slow death, nah, it’s a Banzai cry!
A hard road to walk where the weak just die.
Not just noddin’ off at the devil’s gate,
Life’s for the livin’ before it’s too late!
[Verse 2] Why not faith in a slice of the sun?
That glow ain’t just for the rich—nah, we the ones.
Legs that don’t march these streets no more,
"Every man for himself"? Man, that’s class war.
That smile turned to dust—it ain’t comin’ back?
Nah, the chain’s the issue, the system’s the trap.
Time to bust out this basement’s gloom,
Jump on the ship, leave the tomb—BOOM.
[Final Chorus] Life ain’t slow death, nah, it’s a Banzai cry! (GODDAMN!)
A hard road to walk where the weak just die.
Not just noddin’ off at the devil’s gate (NAH!),
Life’s for the livin’ before it’s too late! (YEAH!)
[Bridge] This world ain’t just shadows and shame,
Ain’t just loneliness—what’s the damn game?
Feel the blood boil, tell the empty to burn,
Bare them teeth, break the shell—now you learn.
Still time to snap these chains like a twig,
*Shatter the cuffs, conquer this shit—live, nigga!
[Outro] Open your eyes so you can see,
Open your wings—now you free.
We built to shine like the sun in the sky,
Bright as the light when the dark say "goodbye."
Still time for the grin to gleam,
Catch the wave, live the dream.
[Chorus] Life ain’t slow death, nah, it’s a Banzai cry!
A hard road to walk where the weak just die.
Not just noddin’ off at the devil’s gate,
Life’s for the livin’ before it’s too late!
Still time for the grin to gleam,
Catch the wave, live the dream.
Still time for the grin to gleam,
Catch the wave, live the dream.
Ain’t no fear—just the fight.
Ain’t no fear—just the fight.
Ain’t no fear—just the fight.
