(Intro)
Yeah-yeah, ayy (trap flame)
Neon on the pavement, watch the night behave (woo)
Ayy, skrrt—light it up
(Verse 1)
Two AM grind, diesel smoke, my name on the chain (yeah)
Corner store glow, cracked tile, subway train (skrrt)
Receipts in my pocket, rippin' dreams into plans
Leather jacket stiff, cold nights, callus hands
Triple-tap the cadence, heart sync to the 808
Streetlight shadows flick, we movin' out the gate (ayy)
Passport of the block — faded tag, fresh aims
Hustle like a religion, prayin' to the same rain
(Pre-Chorus)
Bass hit, chest split, feel the skyline thrum
Never blink, never slip, till the ledger come (woo)
Through the static and the stain, I'm the spark in the frame
I don't fold, I ignite — I breathe my own flame (trap flame)
(Chorus)
Trap flame, neon glow, watch me rise (watch me rise) (ayy)
Money on my mind, got the skyline in my eyes (in my eyes)
Heat on my name, burnin' through the night (burnin' through)
From the block to the top — I'm the city light (city light) (skrrt)
(Verse 2 - Rap Stanza)
Late rent, late calls, mama cried on the phone
Plug cut ties, I learned to build it on my own (facts)
Tire smoke, rusted Benz turned to strobe chrome dreams
Passport stamps on hustle, paper stitched at the seams
Triplet run — stack, snap, cash — feel the cadence snap
Short breaths, long plays, zero time for relapse
Tommy's corner bench, held secrets and the cold
Now my name on marquees, new stories to be told (woo)
(Pre-Chorus)
808 stomp, chest numb, I ride every drop (ride it)
No chains hold me down — watch the heavy ink pop (pop)
From the ash, from the back, watch the city reframe
I walk through the smoke and say my name to the flame (trap flame)
(Chorus - Variation)
Trap flame, neon glow, see us rise (see us rise) (ayy)
Money on our minds, got the skyline in our eyes (our eyes)
Heat on my name, burnin' all the doubters outta sight
From the stoop to the suite — we the city light (city light) (skrrt)
(Bridge)
Used to count windows, now I own the view (own the view)
Used to sleep on floors, now my crew sticks like glue (stick)
Turned the hunger into hunger-less — yeah, I flipped the script
Ashes wrote a manifesto, now the whole block's lit (lit)
This is payoff, this is proof — the cold turned gold
I traded fear for favor, sold the story bold
One line flips the narrative: from lost to lead
Watch the kid who learned to fly when nobody fed
(Ad-Lib Drop / Tag)
(Yeah) Trap flame — ayy, trap flame (woo)
(Watch me) Neon rise — ayy, neon rise (skrrt)
(Chorus - Final)
Trap flame, neon glow, watch me rise (watch me rise) (ayy)
Money on my mind, skyline burning in my eyes (in my eyes)
Heat on my name, I'm the ember in the night
From the block to the top — I am the city light (city light)
(Outro)
Trap flame, we never die (never)
Neon scars, gold lines, we multiply (yeah)
Keep that fire under skin, keep the hunger in your sight
From diesel smoke to headlines — neon rise, city light (trap flame)
(Ad-libs throughout: "ayy," "woo," "sk
