[Verse 1]
I let him in, he knew the code
Now the whole thing feels too cold
Same hand dabbed me on my back
Same one scheming round the bend, too bold
I saw the look when the chat went quiet
Saw the grin when the trust got sliced
Food got split, then the spoon went missing
Now he want my plate and my whole damn life
I been out here, rain on my hood
Head on a swivel, you know I should
Every corner got a different face
Every smile got a hidden hook
I keep it calm, but I clock that change
One wrong move and the vibe gets strange
I don’t sleep deep, I just power through
Got my dreams in a death grip cage
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t act dumb, I know that stare
I can feel your weight in the air
Used to be bros, now it’s thin ice
Now I move like I’m never there
Still I’m up when the sun comes through
Still got plans I’mma run right to
If you switched up, that’s on you
I got bigger things to do
[Chorus]
Back turned brave, I keep one eye
Back turned brave, I still climb high
You cross that line, I don’t cry
I just move on, watch me rise
Back turned brave, I keep one eye
Back turned brave, I still climb high
You played your game, that’s your lie
I want greatness, I won’t die
[Verse 2]
I seen lads fold for a quick look grand
Sell their soul for a cheap-hand plan
One man laugh when the ends get dark
Then he nick your spark and pretend he planned
I’m from the bits where we learn real fast
Trust gets taxed, and the pain stays fast
So I keep my circle tight like cuffs
And I don’t chat much, I just make it last
Got a vision bigger than the block
Bigger than beef and the talk on the spot
I want rooms with the names on walls
Want my mumsy sat front row, shocked
Want the young ones saying “he done it”
Want my old opps seeing me run it
If you ever tried to bury my name
I’m the proof that the dirt just funded
[Bridge]
Yeah, I felt that sting
But I built from the crack in the wing
One traitor can’t block my route
I was born for the bigger thing
[Chorus]
Back turned brave, I keep one eye
Back turned brave, I still climb high
You cross that line, I don’t cry
I just move on, watch me rise
Back turned brave, I keep one eye
Back turned brave, I still climb high
You played your game, that’s your lie
I want greatness, I won’t die
[Outro]
So if you’re near, move clean
I can smell fake from a mile, it seems
I’ll take the hit, then take the throne
Watch me build it on my own
