[Intro]
Cut-throat calm
Money on mute
Still hear it call
(yeah)
[Verse 1]
Velvet switchblade
Cut quiet, then gush
Silk on my grip
Hands steady, no rush
Talk big wars?
You never left porch
I lit my first play
Off an unpaid torch
Turn crumbs into ceilings
Turn L's into lessons
Pray over the profits
Then sin with the blessings
I was broke in a room
Four walls, one prayer
Now the landlord's landlord
Signs checks in my chair (facts)
Whole clique carnivores
Teeth sharp, minds sharper
We don't chase next trend
We trademark the barber
Hustle like my last breath
Already left lungs
If you ain't add value
You subtract from the funds, uh (get gone)
[Chorus]
Velvet switchblade
Smooth when it slide
Look soft to the eye
Leave red on your pride
Talk rich talk
Better back that phrase
Every word here cut
We got linen on blades
Velvet switchblade
Fold once, then flip
Got grace in the stance
Got rage in the wrist
If I speak it, pay me
Each sentence, a wage
I'ma carve my name deep
With this velvet switchblade (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Got a safe for the cash
Got a safe for regrets
Only open that second
When I sharpen the threats
Turn beef into banquets
Cook ops into options
Either team on the table
Or become what I'm chopping
Whole life high stakes
So I laugh at your risk
You scared of small loss
I gamble continents, kid
Every scar is a stock
Every bruise, new share
I took pain to the market
Then I sold y'all despair (sold out)
They want crumbs off my plate?
I want deeds to the bakery
If loyalty shaky
I treat fam like a vacancy
I don't argue with clowns
Silence ruin careers
I just cut off the oxygen
Watch 'em drown in the cheers (let 'em clap)
[Chorus]
Velvet switchblade
Smooth when it slide
Look soft to the eye
Leave red on your pride
Talk rich talk
Better back that phrase
Every word here cut
We got linen on blades
Velvet switchblade
Fold once, then flip
Got grace in the stance
Got rage in the wrist
If I speak it, pay me
Each sentence, a wage
I'ma carve my name deep
With this velvet switchblade (switchblade)
