Can you make me a dark rap song about a shadow that creeps in cities during the night
Lyrics
Footsteps hush, the streetlight blinks low
A hush like a prelude — the city breathes slow
Concrete heart, pulse under sodium glow
I move like a rumor that the alleys don't know
Silhouettes fold into my garment of black
Windows blink blind as I trace the map
I collect broken vows and the cigarette ash
Whispered transactions, the cold coin cash
Pavement remembers the rhythm of feet
I rewrite the routes where the lost ones meet
No face, just a seam between light and fear
No name, only echoes when sirens draw near
I ride moonlight, I fold into doorways
I stitch closed the seams of the midnight highways
Every neon halo turns brittle and thin
When night exhales — that's when I step in
They think it's the wind, think it's the rain
Think it's a secret the skyline can't explain
But the alleys all answer in hush and hush tone
When the city forgets, I come for my own
I am the shadow that walks when the city sleeps
I move through the cracks where the daylight keeps
Cold hands on the heart of the avenues deep
I take what the night gives, then vanish in the grief
I am the shadow that walks when the city sleeps
I move through the cracks where the daylight keeps
Cold hands on the heart of the avenues deep
I take what the night gives, then vanish in the grief
Back doors whisper, stoops fold their heads
Glass blinks like teeth in the rows of the dead
I learn all the stories the streetlamps erase
I keep small ghosts under curbside embrace
Faces are maps, all the scars are my code
I cross through the neighborhoods, secret and slow
The clock stutters twice, the pigeons go mute
The dealers of silence respect my route
I pass under bridges where the river forgets
I count the lost names, collect cigarette threats
I feed on the hush, I harvest the sighs
I catalog footsteps, I swallow the lies
No judge, no jury, no witness, no key
Just the long city breath and the small hush of me
I am the shadow that walks when the city sleeps
I move through the cracks where the daylight keeps
Cold hands on the heart of the avenues deep
I take what the night gives, then vanish in the grief
I am the shadow that walks when the city sleeps
I move through the cracks where the daylight keeps
Cold hands on the heart of the avenues deep
I take what the night gives, then vanish in the grief
Soft as a rumor, sharp as a blade
I carve out paths that the brave won't trade
If you listen at midnight, you'll hear me breathe thin
A love letter to ruin, folded up in my skin
Dawn threads its needle through corners I kept
The alleys exhale, the city wakes from the depth
But pockets remember the chill of my feet
And sometimes, at dusk, you'll feel me repeat
