Blood On My Hands

Woke up, sirens in my rearview

Red stain on my cuticles, clear proof

Cash in a duffel, heart doing cartwheels

Pray the past don't catch me in the dark still

Mama said, "Son, it's gonna cost you"

Devil in the deal every time that it bought you

Smell bleach in the kitchen, steel in the sink

Close my eyes, see the scene, can't blink

I am a wanted man

Got blood on my hands, it won't wash off

Every time I run

That shadow I’m from just talks back, talk back (yeah)

I am a wanted man

Name on a list I can't cross off

Tried to change my plans

But the blood on my hands keeps callin' me back

Eyes in the alley, I can feel ’em on my collar (watchin’)

Judge in my head, tryna tally every dollar

Friends turn ghosts when the heat get loud

Only name that I hear is my own in the crowd

Clock tick loud in this motel room

TV snow glare on a cheap perfume

Got a text sayin, "Run, they know"

Check the peephole twice, then I’m out that door

I am a wanted man

Got blood on my hands, it won't wash off

Every time I run

That shadow I’m from just talks back, talk back

I am a wanted man

Name on a list I can't cross off

Tried to change my plans

But the blood on my hands keeps callin' me back

If I turn myself in, do I free my soul

Or just trade one cell for another control

If I pray real low, will it break this chain

Or am I just a headline, face in the rain

I am a wanted man

Got blood on my hands, it won't wash off

Every time I run

That shadow I’m from just talks back, talk back

I am a wanted man

Name on a list I can't cross off

Tried to change my plans

But the blood on my hands keeps callin' me back
