Oxygen Debt

[Intro] Can't breathe in this concrete maze Kreuzberg nights got me in a daze Mask up, locked down, walls closing in Where the f*ck do I even begin? [Verse 1] First breath was a fight, incubator life Tubes down my throat, doctors with the knife Now history repeats, but the whole city bleeds Empty streets while my anxiety feeds Nina dropped the tracks like poison in my lungs Trust died quicker than the bells that never rung Watching from my window as the hood transforms Into ghost town shit, new fucking norms [Chorus] We all gasping in this pressure chamber Fighting for air while the system's got no favor Streets suffocating, can't trust no savior Breathing through the pain, becoming stranger (Can't breathe, can't breathe) In this concrete cage, we all slaves To the invisible maze, these darker days [Verse 2] Turkish melodies float through empty blocks While sirens wail and opportunity knocks Remember when we used to run these streets? Now we're all trapped in our own defeats System's got us choked out, social distance Breaking down connections, killing resistance They say keep apart to stay alive But isolation's got me barely surviving [Bridge] Oxygen debt, emotional death Every connection feels like crystal meth Quick fix comfort in a digital space While reality's slipping, leaving no trace [Verse 3] Memories of machines keeping me alive Now the whole city's hooked up just to survive Nina's betrayal left me gasping for air Creative flow choked out, nobody there But I'm still breathing through these constraints Playing their game but breaking their restraints Urban warrior in a pandemic haze Finding my rhythm in these darker days [Chorus] We all gasping in this pressure chamber Fighting for air while the system's got no favor Streets suffocating, can't trust no savior Breathing through the pain, becoming stranger (Can't breathe, can't breathe) In this concrete cage, we all slaves To the invisible maze, these darker days [Outro] Still breathing, still fighting Through the darkness, still writing Kreuzberg nights in my veins Till this pressure breaks these chains
