Blacktop Halo

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

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

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

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

(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

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
