Verse 1 (slower tone, heavy beats)
I see those rain clouds rollin’,
But
they ain’t headed my way.
I’ve been readin’ every move you’ve made
Long before you made your play.
You wear that smile so easy,
Like nobody’s gonna know.
But a blind man could’ve seen this comin’
A couple hundred miles ago.
Pre-Chorus (slow, almost whispered)
You thought your kind of wicked
Could catch me by surprise.
Honey, I know your next move
I could read between the lines
Chorus
That rug you’re pullin’
Ain’t the one I’m standin’ on.
Go ahead and play your hand,
I’ve got the ace—you’ve been outdrawn.
Strike the match if you want to,
You can’t burn what you can’t catch.
I’ve been two steps ahead…
All along.
Verse 2
The truth’ll shake the ground beneath you,
The lies’ll bring a house down fast.
You’re busy tryin’ to rewrite history,
But you can’t outrun your past.
You kept countin’ all my footsteps,
Hopin’ I’d come crashin’ down.
You were busy buildin’ my downfall,
Keep tryin - I ain’t backin down
Pre-Chorus (slow)
You thought your kind of wicked
Could catch me by surprise.
Honey, I know your next move
I can read between the lines
Chorus
That rug you’re pullin’
Ain’t the one I’m standin’ on.
Go ahead and play your hand,
I’ve got the ace—you’ve been outdrawn.
Strike the match if you want to,
You can’t burn what you can’t catch.
Ive been two steps ahead…
All along.
Bridge (build)
You can twist it, you can spin it,
Point your finger all you want.
But mirrors never stop reflectin’
The truth you’re runnin’ from.
Every trap you set behind me
Only caught you in the end.
Cause my mama always taught me,
Patience wins the final hand
Final Chorus
Go ahead, pull the trigger,
Go ahead, light the fuse.
You can play the hero,
But everybody knows the truth.
You thought you had the upper hand,
Thought I’d never have a clue.
You were busy makin’ your next move…
Ive been two steps ahead of you.
Yeah, Ive been two steps ahead…
All along.
