Black Tape Cipher

Verse
Step in the shadow, my jacket is leather
Heavy weight pressing, we breaking the weather
808 banging, it rumble the pavement
Came from the bottom, the cold of the basement
Pocket full of static, my mind in a vice
Roll up the window, then roll up the dice

Chorus
Black tape cipher, writing in the dark
Walking through the embers, ignition of a spark
Black tape cipher, heavy on the low
City full of ghosts and nowhere left to go

Verse
Keep my head down, keep my cash in the vault
Blame it on the system, never take the fault
Snare hit sharp like a knife in the spine
Clock keep ticking, I'm taking what's mine
Shadow on the corner, eyes in the rear
Speak real quiet, they know when I'm near

Chorus
Black tape cipher, writing in the dark
Walking through the embers, ignition of a spark
Black tape cipher, heavy on the low
City full of ghosts and nowhere left to go

Bridge
Smoke in the alley, heat on the street
Bass hit heavy, feel it in your feet
No turn back when the line get crossed
Count up the gain, never mind what it cost

Chorus
Black tape cipher, writing in the dark
Walking through the embers, ignition of a spark
Black tape cipher, heavy on the low
City full of ghosts and nowhere left to go
