Intro (low and menacing)
Yeah…
They pray for the fall, but I slither through the dust
Watch your step — they hissin’ when they think you one of us

Verse 1
I came from the pit where the cobras play chess
They smile in your face with a blade to your chest
I shed all my skins, left the old me to rest
Now I strike with precision, no fear in my breath
They cold with the looks, but I’m colder with facts
They whisper my name like they scared of the crack
In the ground where I rose, from the venom and ash
Now I coil with power, got ’em facing the lash
⸻
Chorus
They pray on my downfall — I hiss back, I don’t fall
I was born in the dark, now I shine through it all
They sneak like a serpent, but I’m king of the crawl
Took out the comp, now I’m breaking the law
Yeah, I’m cold-blooded, fangs in the game
I spit that venom, they remember the name
Came for the throne, now I’m burning the frame
You move like a snake? Then you die the same
⸻
Verse 2
I don’t move in packs, I slither alone
They need ten to attack, I just pick up the phone
Got heat in my tongue, got ice in my tone
If you hiss from the grass, I’ll turn you to stone
I got Judas in the DM, enemies in disguise
But I’m built for betrayal — I can read through the lies
While they praying I fall, I just sharpen my rise
Turn that hate to a hiss, now I weaponize
⸻
Chorus (repeat)
They pray on my downfall — I hiss back, I don’t fall
I was born in the dark, now I shine through it all
They sneak like a serpent, but I’m king of the crawl
Took out the comp, now I’m breaking the law
Yeah, I’m cold-blooded, fangs in the game
I spit that venom, they remember the name
Came for the throne, now I’m burning the frame
You move like a snake? Then you die the same
⸻
Bridge (slowed down, darker beat)
This ain’t no zoo — this the jungle floor
Only the ruthless get through the door
I ain’t got friends, just prey and war
You either slither up… or you sink for sure
⸻
Outro (spoken or whispered)
Let ’em hiss. Let ’em plot.
I see ’em from the tall grass…
But I don’t strike first — I strike last.
