[Intro]
Thirteen blades
Thirteen graves
Say your prayers
Then say my name (yeah)
[Verse 1]
White haori
Red on the sleeve
I don’t chase smoke
Smoke chases me
Court guard captain
Eyes stay low
I don’t flex rank
I just let ‘em know
Steel on the hip
Cold in my tone
Whole squad ready
I still walk alone
You see the kanji
You feel that chill
I’m calm on the surface
Built to kill
[Chorus]
Gotei 13
Stand still when we walk in (walk in)
You can hear the fear in the talkin’ (talkin’)
One word
And my whole squad swing
Death god drip
I don’t need no bling
Gotei 13
Say the name with respect (hey!)
Every cut clean
Every promise a debt
If I draw once
Ain’t a soul that forgets
Gotei 13
Put an X on your chest
[Verse 2]
Old scars woven
Deep in the cloth
Promised my brothers
I’d carry the cost
War in my past
War in my blood
You just see pose
I remember the flood
Sleeves too long
Hiding the ghosts
Names of the fallen
Ride on my throat
You talk rank?
You don’t know pain
We hold the line
In the acid rain
[Bridge]
Thirteen squads
But we move like one (like one)
If I fall first
Then you carry my sun
Pour that sake
On the old stone shrine
Toast every soul
That stood in this line (yeah)
[Chorus]
Gotei 13
Stand still when we walk in (walk in)
You can hear the fear in the talkin’ (talkin’)
One word
And my whole squad swing
Death god drip
I don’t need no bling
Gotei 13
Say the name with respect (respect)
Every cut clean
Every promise a debt
If I draw once
Ain’t a soul that forgets
Gotei 13
Put an X on your chest
