Paradox Life

Yeahhh... (uh) City cold...
but not like the North. Ollifax-
back in the shadows again.
Gotham nights, cracked streets,
smoke in the sky,
Sirens cry loud but the people walk by.
Good men hide, bad men try,
Shadows speak truth if you listen
with your eye. I move slow,
deep breath, boots on the lane,
Mind on the danger, heart on the pain.
City got rules but they crooked, insane,
Light on the pole but the soul stays stained.
North in my blood, ice in my tone,
Walk through the crowd like a ghost on stone.
Back alleys talk like they know my name,
Whispers of the past and the shots I tamed.
Paradox life- cold heart, warm aim,
Try to stay calm but the rage runs flame.
Gotham act tough but it's weak at the core,
People want peace but they feed on war.
Breathe... step... watch... move.
Every little choice shapes the groove.
Dark on dark makes the truth shine bright-
You see most clear when the world ain't right.
I walk this city like I built this crown,
Storm in my chest but I never back down.
Up on the roof, I can see the whole town-
Heroes fall hard but the real ones rebound.
Lights go black but my mind stay sharp,
Every wrong turn leaves a mark in the dark.
Paradox life- soft soul, steel heart.
Ollifax rises where the shadows all start.
Gotham acts rich but the pockets stay thin,
People want hope but they drown in sin.
Laugh in the chaos, cry in the win-
Paradoxes stacked like kin on kin.
Kids grow fast with a dream on fire,
Men grow cold with a cheap desire.
Good gets tested, bad climbs higher-
City full of smoke, but I walk the wire.
I see jokers play games on the block,
Smile like kings but they fold on the clock.
Talk like gods but they crack when it's shock-
Gotham got bark but it don't have lock.
I learn slow- every bruise, every scar,
Every cold night, every long war.
Simple code carved deep where the bones are:
Protect your mind or you won't go far.
Breathe... step... watch... move.
Every little thought shapes the groove.
Dark on dark makes the truth shine bright-
You see most clear when the world ain't right.
I walk this city like I built this crown,
Storm in my chest but I never back down.
Up on the roof, I can see the whole town-
Heroes fall hard but the real ones rebound.
Lights go black but my mind stay sharp,
Every wrong turn leaves a mark in the dark.
Paradox life- soft soul, steel heart.
Ollifax rises where the shadows all start.
Gotham in my ear like a prayer off key,
Telling every soul what they "should" not be.
But the truth is simple- fight, stay free,
Hold the tether tight when you can't even see.
Paradox breath- fear mixed with hope,
Chaos on the street but you still find scope.
City want chains but I won't wear rope-
Cold in my veins but my will won't slope.
I walk this city like I built this crown,
Storm in my chest but I never back down.
Up on the roof, I can see the whole town-
Heroes fall hard but the real ones rebound.
Lights go black but my mind stay sharp,
Every wrong turn leaves a mark in the dark.
Paradox life- soft soul, steel heart.
Ollifax rises where the shadows all start.
Yeahhh... City dark...
but I'm darker.
North born... Gotham walker.
Ollifax- night crown holder.
