Crying Candle

[HOOK (x2)]
Candle crying in the night, tears of fire burning slow
Tell me why you lose the fight, are we trapped in the same flow?
Heart's ablaze but you can't see, pain behind the golden glow
In this long and lonely street, watch my broken spirit go

[VERSE 1]
Yo, peace candle, give me light, I been walking in the dark
Standing with you through the night, got these scars upon my heart
Empty alleys, empty dreams, only echoes know my name
Talking to these shattered scenes, with your flicker in my brain
You the beacon when it's black, world done lost its sacred shine
I'm the poet coming back, spitting truth in every line
Every bar I drop is clean, razor sharp like Atlas steel
Tell me, is this just a scene, or the pain that's keeping real?
Flame respond to every beat, rhythm pumping through your core
Maghreb blood runs through my feet, this is what we're rapping for
I'm the bass, you are the fire, mixing sounds from ancient ground
Desert streets and soul desire, where the realest bars are found

[VERSE 2]
Sacred light, where did they go, all the homies that I knew?
Everybody putting on a show, but the mirror showing truth
This ain't clout, this ain't for views, just the realness that I bleed
From the concrete to the booth, dropping bars for souls in need
Story longer than the Nile, too much buried in the sand
Tears been falling for a while, pain that few can understand
Homies fading with the sun, learned to walk this path alone
Switch the flow but never run, from the hurt that I have grown
Moroccan rap don't need the hype, we just spit our hearts in gold
Listen close to every type, ancient stories being told
Desert winds have made me cold, mirror cracked but never breaking
Candle flame, my soul is sold, to this art that I've been making

[BRIDGE / OUTRO]
You the light, I am the shade, dancing on this midnight stage
Heart's been heavy, soul been played, tears and laughter, love and rage
Time has worn us to the bone, but our spirits keep on rising
Light to light, we're not alone, even darkness got its prizing
