Bamboo and Venom

[Intro]
Fang drip
Heart cold
Hands scarred
Mind old
[Verse 1]
Venom in the veins, I can taste that burn
Every scar on my skin, that was one more turn
Demons in the attic tryna rearrange my brain
I just sharpened up the blade, carved scripture in the grain
Bamboo in the backyard, grew through stone
Like prayers through the pain when I felt alone
They said pick a side, I just gripped that knife
Carved God in the handle, put the fear in my life
[Chorus]
Bamboo and venom, I bend but I never break
Demons in the dark still run when they see that faith
Knives on the table, hands steady, I raise that flame
God in the center of the chaos, I say that name
Bamboo and venom, I bend but I never break
Demons in the dark still run when they see that faith
Knives on the table, hands steady, I raise that flame
God in the center of the chaos, I say that name
[Verse 2]
I was knee-deep in the mud, blood on the leaves
Heard voices in the wind tryna cut my beliefs
Snake eyes watching, poison on the tongue
But the cross on my chest weighed heavier than guns
Split the stalk, green snap, let the roots show truth
I been hunted by the past since I ran from my youth
Now I walk through the night, every step, steel grin
Demon on my left, on my right, God wins
[Bridge]
Who you call when the blade touch bone
When the mask fall off and you stand alone
When the fangs sink deep and they flood your soul
I grip the hilt tight, let His name take control
[Chorus]

rap, Dark trap beat with distorted 808s, skittering hi-hats, eerie bell plucks and reverse FX. Verses are dense double-time flows with aggressive male vocals; chorus opens with a huge chant-style hook, stacked gang vocals, and sub-heavy drops on the downbeat. Sparse, menacing piano stabs in the bridge, with a final beat cut for an a cappella closing bar.
