[Verse 1]
Death at the barrel
Cold hand, clean stare
Money on the table
Bad news in the air
Pills in the ashtray
Smoke on my shirt
She want the fast lane
I want what it’s worth
I seen big smiles
Turn snake in a blink
He sold out his own name
For a ring and a link
Got the bag, got the bruise
Got the weight on my back
Talk slick, get erased
If you reach for the strap
[Chorus]
Barrel promise, barrel promise
It go bad so quick
Barrel promise, barrel promise
Love it, then it split
Drugs, money, and hoes
That’s the line they chase
Drugs, money, and hoes
Then they fade away
[Verse 2]
She ride with a grin
But she count every move
Red nails on the wheel
One look and you lose
He talk like a king
Till the door swings in
Now the room get small
And the lies cave in
I don’t trust the shine
On a face like that
Too many fake halos
In a dirty trap
If you ask for the truth
It’ll cut through the room
One wrong step, one night
And the whole thing blooms
[Chorus]
Barrel promise, barrel promise
It go bad so quick
Barrel promise, barrel promise
Love it, then it split
Drugs, money, and hoes
That’s the line they chase
Drugs, money, and hoes
Then they fade away
[Bridge]
Say you want the throne
But you fear the fall
Say you want it all
Then you lose it all
One flash, one sound
And the truth comes out
What you build on dust
Goes back in the mouth
[Chorus]
Barrel promise, barrel promise
It go bad so quick
Barrel promise, barrel promise
Love it, then it split
Drugs, money, and hoes
That’s the line they chase
Drugs, money, and hoes
Then they fade away
