[Verse 1]
Boots on the blacktop
Blood on the tongue, cold talk
Eyes like a mugshot
Laugh when the lock clicks, bolt pops
I was raised where the doors creak
Learned how to pray through a broke teeth smile
Every little scar wrote a short speech
Now I let the pain run a whole mile
[Chorus]
I got a blacktop halo
Rust on my crown, still fatal
Walk through the flame like, say so
If you want smoke, better say when (say when)
I got a blacktop halo
Heartbeat loud like a payload
Wolves at my back, they stay close
You don’t want war with a made ghost
[Verse 2]
Tats on the knuckles, that’s scripture
Read every line when the fist lands
Whole life framed in a cracked picture
Still came out clean in a sick stance
I don’t break, I bend steel
Bite down hard till the chain snaps
Sleep with the weight of the anvil
Wake up swingin’ where the pain at
[Chorus]
I got a blacktop halo
Rust on my crown, still fatal
Walk through the flame like, say so
If you want smoke, better say when (hey)
I got a blacktop halo
Heartbeat loud like a payload
Wolves at my back, they stay close
You don’t want war with a made ghost
[Bridge]
(Yeah)
Shadow on the wall when the lights fade
Name on the brick where the fights stayed
Every bruise turned blue into nightshade
Now I bloom in the dark, that’s the right shade
[Chorus]
I got a blacktop halo
Rust on my crown, still fatal
Walk through the flame like, say so
If you want smoke, better say when
I got a blacktop halo
Heartbeat loud like a payload
Wolves at my back, they stay close
You don’t want war with a made ghost
