[Intro]
Yeah
Same dream, same teeth
Same chase, same beast
Uh
[Verse 1]
Wake up with the fangs in my thoughts
Bedframe creak, little shake in the walls
Phone screen light on the floor by the socks
Four missed calls, not a cure for the rot
I been
Chewin’ on stress like gum
Tongue taste metal, lungs feel numb
Mama said “pray,” homie said “run”
I just hit play, stare dead at the sun
Ash in the mug, last night’s drink
Cold eggs stuck to the side of the sink
Smile in the mirror got a cut in the pink
Lip split quick when the doubts all link
[Chorus]
Got a monster on my mind, but I made it a habit
Turn my panic into patterns, now I’m rollin’ in the static (yeah)
If the dark gon’ talk, I’ma rhyme right at it
I don’t outrun fear, I just learned how to rap it
Monster on my mind, but I made it a habit
Little bit manic, but I still gotta have it
If the past gon’ scratch, I’ma lean, let it grab it
Turn my scars to a hook, let the whole crowd chant it (oh)
[Verse 2]
Southside drawl in a rusted-out ride
Gas tank low, but the volume high
Red clay dust on the shoes I tie
Deadweight thoughts that refuse to die
Hoodie in the heat, I’m a ghost in July
Smirk so sharp, cut smoke from the sky
Friends in the group chat, “you good?” “I’ight”
Lie so smooth, it’ll glide on ice
Late night buzz in a half-lit room
Blue light bloom, little code in the gloom
Heart do a glitch when her name goes “whoom”
I been trippin’ on truth like a cord in the room
Freestylin’ fears on the back of receipts
Rent, doubt, dreams, all stacked on the seat
If my brain wanna bark, then I’m walkin’ the beast
Turn bite into bars, that’s a dog on the beat (hey!)
[Chorus]
Got a monster on my mind, but I made it a habit
Turn my panic into patterns, now I’m rollin’ in the static
If the dark gon’ talk, I’ma rhyme right at it
I don’t outrun fear, I just learned how to rap it
Monster on my mind, but I made it a habit
Little bit tragic, how I still kinda laugh at it
If the past gon’ scratch, I’ma lean, let it grab it
Turn my scars to a hook, let the whole crowd chant it
[Bridge]
Every bad day, I’ma bend that frame
Turn one more weight to a word I claim
If it all falls down, I’ma ride that shame
Till the floor feels warm and it hums my name
Every late-night stare at the ceiling line
Somethin’ in the dark keep stealin’ time
But I breathe, then beat it, seal it in a rhyme
If I’m stuck in my head, I’ma make it a shrine
[Chorus]
Got a monster on my mind, but I made it a habit
Turn my panic into patterns, now I’m rollin’ in the static (rollin’)
If the dark gon’ talk, I’ma rhyme right at it
I don’t outrun fear, I just learned how to rap it
Monster on my mind, but I made it a habit
Too deep in it, but I still kinda manage
If the past gon’ scratch, I’ma lean, let it grab it
Turn my scars to a hook, let the whole crowd chant it (yeah)
