About
“No Witnesses” — a colder, more cinematic UK drill-leaning track about moving carefully through a city that remembers everything: paranoia, loyalty, and the cost of trying to rise without losing yourself.
Lyrics
Intro
Yeah...
City never sleeps...
It just remembers...
Listen.
Hook
No witnesses, just streetlights and rain,
Every move got a meaning, every silence got pain,
They can watch from the tower, let 'em look all night,
I was made in the shadows, so I move right.
No witnesses, no names in the frame,
Keep the circle tight, keep away from the flame,
They want a story, I just want a way—
No witnesses...
That's how I survive the day.
Verse 1
Cold morning, black cab, window fogged,
Mind racing faster than the traffic outside,
Every junction is a question, every answer got a price,
Learned to read a room before I learned to roll dice.
Mum's voice in my head: "Don't let them change you,"
But the ends got a way of making strangers familiar too,
I seen loyalty fold when the pressure get loud,
Seen the loudest ones vanish when the storm come round.
So I keep my circle small, keep my intentions clean,
Let the work build quietly, let the results be seen,
No fake handshakes, no borrowed belief,
I'd rather walk alone than inherit their grief.
They see the calm, they don't see the war,
They see the door close, they don't see what it's for,
City full of echoes, every corner got a ghost,
I just move with purpose—that's what matters most.
Hook
No witnesses, just streetlights and rain,
Every move got a meaning, every silence got pain,
They can watch from the tower, let 'em look all night,
I was made in the shadows, so I move right.
No witnesses, no names in the frame,
Keep the circle tight, keep away from the flame,
They want a story, I just want a way—
No witnesses...
That's how I survive the day.
Verse 2
Night bus windows, reflections in the glass,
Every face looks familiar, every memory moves fast,
I remember the winters when the heating wasn't working,
When the dream felt distant but the hunger kept working.
Now they ask about the vision like it fell from the sky,
Like I didn't lose sleep, like I didn't wonder why,
Every "no" I collected turned to fuel in my chest,
Every setback made the blueprint clearer than the rest.
I don't chase approval, I chase a foundation,
Something solid for the family, something built for the nation,
Not a headline, not a moment, not a temporary wave—
I want a name that remains when the old roads pave.
No witnesses, just lessons in my veins,
Every loss left a mark, every mark left a chain,
But I break what I can, and I carry what I must,
Turn the concrete into courage, turn the rust into trust.
Bridge
They say the city changes you...
Nah—it exposes you.
They say keep your head down...
But I keep my eyes open.
No witnesses...
Just the road...
Final Hook
No witnesses, just streetlights and rain,
Every move got a meaning, every silence got pain,
They can watch from the tower, let 'em look all night,
I was made in the shadows, so I move right.
No witnesses, no names in the frame,
Keep the circle tight, keep away from the flame,
They want a story, I just want a way—
No witnesses...
That's how I survive the day.
Outro
No witnesses...
Just rain...
Just roads...
Still moving...
Yeah.
