[Intro | 0:00β0:12] (Filtered vocal + ambient pad)
(Whisper)
DJ Mike on the beat
I let you inβ¦
That was your first mistake
βΈ»
[Verse 1 | 0:12β0:32] (Minimal beat, bass pulse)
You smile sweet, but I read between
Every line that you never mean
Play your part like a masterpiece
But I see through the fantasy
Pretty lies in designer tone
Tryna act like youβre one of my own
You get close just to get control
But I already know your role
βΈ»
[Pre-Chorus | 0:32β0:48] (Build: hi-hats + riser)
I donβt trust what you say
I just watch how you move
Every step that you take
Leaves a trail of the truth
βΈ»
[Chorus / Hook | 0:48β1:10] (Beat drop, heavy 808s + synth stab)
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
I let you in just to read your composure
Look in your eyes, now I know what you are
You donβt shine, you just playinβ a part
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
Dance in the dark, yeah, Iβm pullinβ you closer
You thought youβd win, now itβs overexposed
I see the snake when you get too close
βΈ»
[Post-Chorus | 1:10β1:22] (Chopped vocal + beat bounce)
Too close, too close
Yeah, I see you
Too close, too close
I donβt need you
βΈ»
[Verse 2 | 1:22β1:42] (Beat returns, added percussion)
Switchinβ sides like a phase you wear
Say you real but you never there
Every move got a hidden play
You just wait for the right betray
You been talkinβ, I let it slide
Now your truth got nowhere to hide
I stay calm, I donβt even trip
I just tighten my fingertips
βΈ»
[Pre-Chorus 2 | 1:42β1:58] (Bigger build, layered vocals)
Let you think youβre inside
Let you think you belong
But I knew from the start
You were playinβ me wrong
βΈ»
[Chorus | 1:58β2:20] (Full energy drop)
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
I let you in just to read your composure
Look in your eyes, now I know what you are
You donβt shine, you just playinβ a part
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
Dance in the dark, yeah, Iβm pullinβ you closer
You thought youβd win, now itβs overexposed
I see the snake when you get too close
βΈ»
[Bridge / Rap Break | 2:20β2:45] (Beat strips β hard trap switch)
Yeah, I peep game, I donβt say much
You move fake, I donβt play tough
Let you talk, let you show your hand
Now I cut you off, wasnβt in the plan
No loyalty, just a mask you wear
No spine, just the acts you share
I donβt chase, I replace, thatβs facts
Once you out, ainβt no cominβ back
βΈ»
[Breakdown | 2:45β2:58] (Echo vocal + piano)
(Soft)
Closerβ¦ closerβ¦
Now I see you
βΈ»
[Final Chorus | 2:58β3:25] (Biggest drop + ad-libs + harmonies)
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
I let you in just to take the exposure
Every move that you tried to conceal
Now I know what you really reveal
Keep your friends close, enemies closer
You got too near, now itβs game over
You played yourself gettinβ close to me
Now you just a memory
βΈ»
[Outro | 3:25β3:40] (Fade, distorted vocal)
Keep βem closeβ¦
Yeahβ¦
Even closerβ¦
