Ten Steps Cold | Valen Noir

Ten Steps Cold by Valen Noir Midnight leather seats, city lights bleeding through tinted glass — this is the sound of a man who already won before you knew the game started. Cold, luxurious, and absolutely untouchable. ── Lyrics ── City never sleeps, neither do I Watching every shadow, reading every eye Built this throne in silence, earned it in the dark You never see me coming till I leave my mark I move through the city like a ghost in the rain No name on my lips, just a number and a game Every handshake is a contract, every smile is a test I already know your next move, I already know the rest Rooms go quiet when I enter, conversations cease I built my peace on pressure, I maintain it with ease Trust is just a word that the desperate sell cheap I keep my circle empty and my enemies asleep Ten steps ahead of every play Read the board before they say a word I was moving in the dark while they prayed for the day Speaking in a language never heard Ten steps cold, ten steps ahead Count the kings that fell, I remember what they said Never blink, never fold, never give them your hand Throne at the top and only I understand Ten steps cold in the midnight drive Every light I pass, another deal alive They think they know the game but they don't know the price I already paid it twice Ten steps cold, shadow on the road Silence is my armor, patience is my code Built from nothing, standing where the fearless go Ten steps cold Tailored in the darkness, every move is clean I don't raise my voice because I don't need to be seen Loyalty is rare, so I invest in the few And I cut the rest before the morning comes through Maps laid on the table, every exit planned Studied every weakness, steady is my hand They talk about power like it's given overnight I was here before the morning, I'll be here past the light Ten steps ahead of every play Read the board before they say a word I was moving in the dark while they prayed for the day Speaking in a language never heard Ten steps cold in the midnight drive Every light I pass, another deal alive They think they know the game but they don't know the price I already paid it twice Ten steps cold, shadow on the road Silence is my armor, patience is my code Built from nothing, standing where the fearless go Ten steps cold No one gets close without a reason Every season, I reset the board Loyalty tested, only few are chosen Cold and frozen, this is my reward They wanted the crown without the cost of keeping it I was never sleeping, never once repeating it City never sleeps, I was made for this night Ten steps ahead, disappearing from sight Nothing to prove, nothing left to explain Cold as the road, and I'll do it again #darkmafiatrap #cinematictrap #menacing #deeprolling808 #ominouspiano #darkstrings #crisphihats #midtempo #nocturnal #cold
