[Intro]
Jaw tight
Hands twitch
Heart skips
I don’t flinch (nah)
[Verse 1]
I don’t sit still, I spark
Thoughts jump quick in the dark
Trip on words, then I bark
Turn that slip to a mark
Bite that lip, then I bite that beat
Trip on feet, still land on my feet
You throw shade, I just throw heat
You talk slick, I talk concrete
[Chorus]
Up and down, yeah, I live in the middle
Can’t stay calm, so I sharpen my riddle
I don’t need big pretty metaphors
I just kick down doors, kick down doors
Fast mouth, yeah, my tongue stay fizzin’
Fidget fight, every line precision
If the verse don’t hit, I twist it more
Till it spit like war, spit like war
[Verse 2]
You dress words in a costume
I slam truth in a small room
Sweat on walls when I step through
Whole crowd jump when I bless you (hey!)
I miss beats, then I chase ’em down
Trip on flows, then I stake my ground
You write poems tryna make that crown
I write scars that you can’t scrub out
[Chorus]
Up and down, yeah, I live in the middle
Can’t stay calm, so I sharpen my riddle
I don’t need big pretty metaphors
I just kick down doors, kick down doors
Fast mouth, yeah, my tongue stay fizzin’
Fidget fight, every line precision
If the verse don’t hit, I twist it more
Till it spit like war, spit like war
[Bridge]
Hands shake
Brain race
You can see
Every trace
I don’t hide
What I am
Every flaw
In the jam (woah)
[Chorus]
Up and down, yeah, I live in the middle
Can’t stay calm, so I sharpen my riddle
I don’t need big pretty metaphors
I just kick down doors, kick down doors
Fast mouth, yeah, my tongue stay fizzin’
Fidget fight, every line precision
If the verse don’t hit, I twist it more
Till it spit like war, spit like war
