[Intro]
Slow drip
Deep breath
All this charge
On deck
[Verse 1]
I’ve been stackin’ up the spark, not spillin’ it
Walkin’ past temptation, still feelin’ it
Eyes on the prize, I’m stealin’ it
Turnin’ every wild urge to a million, yeah
Cold shower in the a.m., brain sharp
Calendar clean, still flame in the dark
Every thought that was lost, now a landmark
Every “can’t” that they said, now a jump-start
[Chorus]
I keep that silk in my veins
I don’t just give it away
Turn that pressure to pain
Turn that pain into pay
I keep that fire contained
Let it rise, let it stay
I’m in control of the wave
I’m in control of the wave (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
She lookin’ like trouble in a sundress
Body say “now”, but my mind say “progress”
I ain’t runnin’ from the hunger, I just harness
Every time I hold back, I feel god bless
Face glow when I walk in the room
They can feel raw power, no perfume
Old me chased quick highs, quick doom
New me plant deep roots, make bloom
[Chorus]
I keep that silk in my veins
I don’t just give it away
Turn that pressure to pain
Turn that pain into pay
I keep that fire contained
Let it rise, let it stay
I’m in control of the wave
I’m in control of the wave (yeah, yeah)
