Snakes in the Grass

Who slithers slow, scales glitter in the moonlight,

Venom in their tongues, hissing tales they recite,

Movin' through the hood, silence sharper than a knife,

Trust cut short, betrayal's the price of life.

Snakes in the grass, don't let 'em get past,

Movin' too fast, better make the cut last,

Eyes wide open, they lurk where shadows cast,

Dodgin’ poison fangs, out here tryna outlast.

Whispers in the alley, deals sealed in the black,

Backstabbers grin, plotting while they pat your back,

Bassline heavy, heartbeat keepin’ track,

Trust misplaced—hands clasp, then crack.

Schemes like chess, every move a disguise,

Gotta peep the venom when you look ‘em in the eyes,

Slither through the cracks, hear the lies multiply,

Real ones stay grounded while the fakes learn to fly.

Mind in the trap, but the beats set me free,

Bassline climbing like I'm searchin' for the key,

Building with my hands while their venom's in the breeze,

Snakes in the grass, but I’m planting a real tree.

Snakes in the grass, don't let 'em get past,

Movin' too fast, better make the cut last,

Eyes wide open, they lurk where shadows cast,

Dodgin’ poison fangs, out here tryna outlast.
