Snakes in the grass

Hook

Snakes in the grass, gotta watch where I step (watch it)

Smiles in the dark, but they whisperin' threats (yeah)

Countin' all this pain like it’s part of the check (count it)

Pray I keep my circle, keep my heart from the mess

Verse 1

Pulled up with my day ones, but they changin' quick,

Seen the fake love, seen the switch for a flick.

They promise loyalty, then they ghost with a grin,

Talkin’ like they family, snakes slitherin’ in.

Money make ’em colder, fame make ’em cold,

Neighbors used to nod, now they watchin' for gold.

I move with my head low, strap full of scars,

Trust don’t come cheap when you grown from these parts.

Pre-Chorus

Sleepless nights, phone blowin' with faces I know,

Mornin' light revealin’ things in the show—

Smiles full of venom, hands ready to pass,

I learned to read the hiss when it slides through the grass.

Hook

Snakes in the grass, gotta watch where I step (watch it)

Smiles in the dark, but they whisperin' threats (yeah)

Countin' all this pain like it’s part of the check (count it)

Pray I keep my circle, keep my heart from the mess

Verse 2

Young ones lookin' up, I can’t fall or fold,

If I slip they’d be glad to take what I hold.

Used to break bread with devils in disguise,

Now I check my back twice before I close my eyes.

Lost some real ones, learned you can’t fake grief,

They cried on the block, but vanished with the brief.

I stay on my hustle, I stay for my kin,

Cut out the snakes, keep the real ones in.

Bridge (melodic, low)

Hiss in the wind, feel it crawl on my name,

Familiar faces switchin' up for the fame.

If they close enough to bite, they too close to keep—

I bury the snake, then I pray for my sleep.

Hook (last, layered)

Snakes in the grass, gotta watch where I step (watch it)

Smiles in the dark, but they whisperin' threats (they whisper)

I paid with my nights, I been countin’ my debts (I paid)

Love the ones that ride, cut the rest from the net

Outro

Watch the ground, watch the smile, watch the clasp of their hands,

Keep the ones who stand when the storm’s on the plans.

Snakes in the grass—yeah, we movin' past,

Real ones for the ride, fake ones won’t last.

Porque music

See you when I see you
