Celestial Whirlwind - Screen Static Lyrics

[Intro]
Sirens wailing in the night
Mi hermano took the fall, shit ain't right
Digital eyes watching every move
But real ones know what real ones do

[Verse 1]
Streets got eyes, cameras everywhere
Police radio crackling through the air
My brother's freedom traded for mine
Now he's doing time on that thin blue line
Could've been me in those silver bracelets
Instead I'm here, guilt heavy like weights is
Every notification got me paranoid
Looking over shoulders in this digital void

[Chorus]
Free my brother from the system (free him)
Took my charge without permission (real one)
Loyalty ain't what it used to be
But he still took the fall for me
Para mi gente, para la calle
When they ask him, he won't tell tales
Digital world try to break us down
But street code still runs this town

[Verse 2]
Phone taps and bodycams got us stressed
One wrong move and life's a mess
Missing calls from behind them walls
While these streets keep making those deadly calls
They don't understand our brotherhood
Taking hits for family like we should
System trying to break what we built
But can't erase this Puerto Rican guilt

[Bridge]
La policía think they know our ways
But they don't know about them darker days
When loyalty meant more than life
When a brother's word cut like a knife

[Chorus]
Free my brother from the system (free him)
Took my charge without permission (real one)
Loyalty ain't what it used to be
But he still took the fall for me
Para mi gente, para la calle
When they ask him, he won't tell tales
Digital world try to break us down
But street code still runs this town

[Outro]
(Sirens fading)
Mi hermano, I won't forget
This debt's gonna haunt till I'm dead
Real ones know what sacrifice means
In these streets, nothing's what it seems
