[Intro]
Mask on tight
Dark block, late
Phone on mute
Wrong move, bait
[Verse 1]
Zipped-up coat, that puff, that weight
Council flat dreams, upgrade that gate
Plug said "hurry" so I skate through rain
One wrong lane, get wiped, no trace
Blue lights flash, I cut through estates
Fence that wall, mud all on my Js
Mum still praying I change my ways
But the rent due now, so I take that risk
Opps online, all talk, all script
Live in the flesh, get spun, get clipped
Voice in my head say "spin that whip"
Other one whisper "boy, don't slip"
[Chorus]
I got opium in my veins, in my brain (yeah)
Rage in my lungs when I step on stage
Whole block in the air when I scream my name
This that dirt, that grit, that pain
I got opium in my veins, in my brain (what)
Rage in my lungs when I step on stage
Whole block in the air when I scream my name
This that dirt, that grit, that pain (uh)
[Verse 2]
Late-night run, that cash, that code
Balaclava down, can't see my soul
Car too packed, these seats too cold
But the trunk too loud, that weight too bold
Cats by the shop, they twitch, they fiend
Young boy watch, wanna join this team
Think it's all drip, all flash, all screens
Till he see tape line chalk on scene
Heart beat sync with the rumble, [low vocal register] boom
Door get kicked, whole flat go doom
Judge don't care 'bout "why" or "who"
Just bang that gavel, lock that room
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
Can you feel it in your teeth when the floorboards shake?
Can you hear it in the pipes when the whole house quake?
If I rage one more time, will the frame just break?
If I die one more life, will I leave this place?
[crescendo]
Hands up high if you came from the drains (hey)
Hands up high if you carved your name
Even if the sky never clear from rain
We still stomp, still shout, still claim our lane
[Chorus]
