[Verse 1]
Switchblade scat in my lap
shoe box cash, rubber band snapped
Late night lean in the back
whole block twitch when we pass
Motor run hot, redline talk
ashtray full, I don't ever park
Demons in my veins doing push-ups
laugh at the law when they push up
Helicopter shadow on the roof
light sweep round, still bulletproof
Mask in the hoodie like a habit
my name in his mouth, better gag it
I don’t do peace, I do pressure
I don’t do friends, I do extras
Code on my tongue like a tattoo
I die on that hill ‘fore I rat you
[Chorus]
Switchblade scat, I slide
cop lights painting my side (skrrt)
Whole squad stuck on pride
street got a grip on my life
Wrist locked, metal on skin
head loud, devil walk in
Vision gone, everything spin
I’m married to the movement I’m in
[Verse 2]
Half tank gas, full tank hate
shorty in the crib countin’ court dates
Phone on flame, can’t sleep straight
plug in a rage ‘bout a lost crate
Eyes wide, see the blue flash
hand on my heart and the glove stash
If it all crash on the wrong night
mama gon’ cry for the long fight
But loyalty heavy as a cinder block
hold my name tight when the spinner stop
If they break code, then the circle shrink
if I overthink, then I never blink
Cold sweat drip in the line-up
face to the glass when they ride up
Pray I don’t fold in the bright room
but the streets say “die ‘fore you slide truth”
[Chorus]
Switchblade scat, I slide
cop lights painting my side (yeah)
Whole squad stuck on pride
street got a grip on my life
Wrist locked, metal on skin
head loud, devil walk in
Vision gone, everything spin
I’m married to the movement I’m in
[Bridge]
Tell me, is it honor or a death wish?
is it love, is it leverage?
I don’t even know where my heaven is
all I ever learned was the evidence
If the judge write my name in a black pen
will the block still scream when I’m back in?
Or am I just a ghost on the back end
another tattoo, closed caption
[Chorus]
Switchblade scat, I slide
cop lights painting my side
Whole squad stuck on pride
street got a grip on my life (on my life)
Wrist locked, metal on skin
head loud, devil walk in (devil walk in)
Vision gone, everything spin
I’m married to the movement I’m in
