Criminal Tendencies

[Intro] Lights off, mind on, watch how the shadows talk Yeah, just breathe in the silence, let the noise walk [Verse 1] I got criminal tendencies, not with a gun, with my thoughts, Stealing every second back that the system said I lost. Sneaking past doubt like I’m running from cops, Mask on, heart cold, but the pen never stops. They profiled me young, said I’d end up in chains, So I became the architect, rewrote all the names. I rob banks of fear, leave regret on the floor, Case closed, I don’t plead, I’m guilty of more. More hunger, more fire, more nights with no sleep, More lies that I buried where the secrets run deep. [Pre-Chorus] I got criminal tendencies in my blood, yeah, Stealing dreams, dodging duds, yeah. If silence is a sentence, then I’m serving life, Cutting through the noise with a sharpened mind. [Chorus] I got criminal tendencies, I admit, Breaking patterns, making hits. Judge me, judge me, cuz I'm guilty, Case dismissed but I’m still standing, sturdy. [Verse 2] I play the court of night like a seasoned thief, Counting every heartbeat, stealing fear beneath. I’m the author of daylight, rewriting the page, Moving through the verdict with a fearless gaze. [Bridge] If guilt is a shadow, I own the silhouette, Not evil, just a hunger I won’t forget. [Chorus] I got criminal tendencies, I admit, Breaking patterns, making hits. Judge me, judge me, cuz I'm guilty, Case dismissed but I’m still standing, sturdy. [Outro] Guilty of chasing truth, no plea to the lie, I walk past the bars of doubt and rise higher.
