Drift Protocol

[Intro] Streets empty like my DMs, yeah Kreuzberg's soul slipping through screens Mama's döner shop went dark last spring Now everything's just digital dreams [Verse 1] Born too soon, incubator baby Now the whole hood's on life support, going crazy Turkish neighbors used to bring baklava daily Nina leaked my shit, that bitch played me Locked in my flat, watching shadows dance Through the blinds, like a glitch in the matrix, enhanced Remember block parties, now we're all alone Scrolling through memories on my fucking phone [Chorus] Drifting through the static My hood's gone, turned plastic Can't touch what's authentic When everything's transmitted Through wires and waves Digital graves Of what we used to be Before the streets went empty [Verse 2] Every face behind a mask looks suspicious My block's heartbeat getting less ambitious Used to share meals, now we share posts Community's alive but we're all ghosts Early birth made me fight to survive Now the whole city's struggling to stay alive Boundaries blur between real and fake While culture dies for algorithms' sake [Chorus] Drifting through the static My hood's gone, turned plastic Can't touch what's authentic When everything's transmitted Through wires and waves Digital graves Of what we used to be Before the streets went empty [Outro] Watch my city fade to pixels While memories dissolve in this digital prison But we'll rise from these ashes When the static passes
