Y'all wanted the smoke ( get ready to inhale)
Y’all say I’m down and deeply hated
Yet I rose from the ashes
Never created (never made me)
I’m the stain on your soul you can’t shake
Say my name
Feel your rib cage break (yeah)
Talk tough but your hands stay tucked
All bark
No bite
That’s luck
I was born in the cracks of your pride
You can run
But I ride inside
Cold sweat when you hear my steps
Every lie that you told
That’s debt
I collect with a grin
No flinch
Every secret on your tongue
I inch
Y’all say I’m down and deeply hated
Yet I rose from the ashes, never created (never made me)
I’m the stain on your soul you can’t shake
Say my name, feel your rib cage break (yeah)
You was talkin big, now you type in lowercase
All that cap on your name, that’s a throwaway
I was eatin dirt, now I’m at your doorway
Boot print on your jaw, call it foreplay (bitch)
Y’all say I’m down and deeply hated
Yet I rose from the ashes, never created
Self-made demon in a world full of clones
You a crib-built thug, I was birthed in the smoke (woah)
You flex borrowed guns, borrowed lives, borrowed chains
I got hand-me-down scars, hand-washed in the pain
You gossip like the choir, all falsetto
I’m the shadow in your church, whisper “hell, hello” (yeah)
Y’all say I’m down and deeply hated
Yet I rose from the ashes, never created
Talk that shit, get your whole name faded
I don’t send shots, I send plagues and hatred
Y’all say I’m down and deeply hated
Turn your safe little block to a crater
You ain’t built for the smoke you created
I rose from the ashes, never, never created (nah)
You the loudest in the room, that’s
I’m the stain on your soul you can’t scrub off
You can pray
You can cry
Still I peel you raw
When you choke on my name
Feel your backbone fold
I’m the weight in your chest
I’m the truth you know
I’m the stain on your soul you can’t scrub off
Try to drown me in the dark
But I still float up
When you choke on my name
Feel your backbone fold
I’m the ghost in your blood
I’m the stain
I’m the stain (yeah)
You built thrones out of plastic crowns
Every step that you took
I counted down
I was hiding in the praise that you begged to get
Every clap
Every smile
Every fake respect
I’m the crack in the glass when you see yourself
All the rot that you locked on the highest shelf
You can bleach that guilt till your fingers burn
But I sit in the seams and I never turn (never turn)
Look in the mirror
Say it three times slow
Feel the floor drop open
Hear the truth you owe
I’m the shade you cast
On the ones you love
I’m the part you hide
But I rise above (rise above)
I’m the stain on your soul you can’t scrub off
You can pray
You can cry
Still I peel you raw
When you choke on my name
Feel your backbone fold
I’m the weight in your chest
I’m the truth you know
I’m the stain on your soul you can’t scrub off
Try to drown me in the dark
But I still float up
When you choke on my name
Feel your backbone fold
I’m the ghost in your blood
I’m the stain
I’m the stain (yeah)
