Rina Kaze - Black Market Pulse Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cracked software on my hard drive
Another shift, barely alive
Convenience store at 3 AM
Living life on the edge of them
Scanning barcodes, counting yen
While my dreams slip away again

[Pre-Chorus]
They say play by the rules
But the rules weren't made for us
Breaking codes, bending tools
'Cause survival's all I trust

[Chorus]
Black market pulse, digital highs
Stealing moments between my lies
Can't afford to live, can't afford to die
Underground beats, that's where I thrive
In this neon maze, I'm running wild
Black market pulse keeps me alive

[Verse 2]
Trading skills in back alleys
Encrypted deals, digital valleys
Borrowed time, borrowed dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Late-night hustle, morning light
Creating art until I'm right

[Bridge]
System crash, system burn
Take what they won't let me earn
Tokyo nights hide my shame
While I hack my way to fame
F*ck their rules, f*ck their game
We're all criminals by name

[Chorus]
Black market pulse, digital highs
Stealing moments between my lies
Can't afford to live, can't afford to die
Underground beats, that's where I thrive
In this neon maze, I'm running wild
Black market pulse keeps me alive

[Outro]
Survival's just a dirty word
For the stories left unheard
But in this beat, in this sound
I'll make my way above ground
