Espionage Gone Wrong
Jay Z

Verse 1:
Yo, late night in the shadows, stealth mode engaged,
Whispers in the alley, I'm trapped in a cage,
Eyes everywhere, they’re watching my moves,
One slip and it’s over, I got something to prove.

Undercover vibes, with a heart full of doubt,
This mission’s a game, but I’m losing out,
Trusted my crew, but they turned on a dime,
Now the walls are closing in, I’m running out of time.

Chorus:
Espionage gone wrong, where loyalty fades,
In this dangerous game, we’re the ones who played,
Fingers on triggers, with dreams in our eyes,
But the truth cuts deep, and the stakes are the lies.

Verse 2:
Late-night rendezvous, secrets in the air,
A double-cross lurking, can’t trust a soul out there,
Bae’s in the dark, not knowing the risk,
Wishing I could rewind, let the past be a bliss.

Plans gone awry, couldn’t read the signs,
Got caught in the web, trapped between the lines,
Fast money and power, they promised the world,
But betrayal's a poison, and it’s sharp as a pearl.

Chorus:
Espionage gone wrong, where loyalty fades,
In this dangerous game, we’re the ones who played,
Fingers on triggers, with dreams in our eyes,
But the truth cuts deep, and the stakes are the lies.

Bridge:
Can’t sleep at night, shadows creep in my dreams,
Haunted by choices, nothing's as it seems,
In a world full of secrets, I thought I was wise,
But that trust turned to ashes, all I got are the cries.

Verse 3:
Day by day, I’m lost in the fray,
I gave them my heart, but they threw it away,
Real friends turned foes, the ones I held dear,
Now I’m walking alone, consumed by the fear.

From the rooftops, I scream, can you hear me now?
The game’s so twisted, but I’m breaking the vow,
Out for redemption, plotting my escape,
In a world of deceit, I’m the one who dictates.

Chorus:
Espionage gone wrong, where loyalty fades,
In this dangerous game, we’re the ones who played,
Fingers on triggers, with dreams in our eyes,
But the truth cuts deep, and the stakes are the lies.

Outro:
So if you’re in the dark, keep your friends close,
Cause betrayal’s a ghost that you can’t diagnose,
In this game of spies, just remember my song,
Espionage gone wrong, where everything’s wrong.
