[Intro]
Gotta play the game, gotta stay out the way
Talkin’ 'bout killin’ but I’m just tryna stay sane
Runnin’ these streets, silent moves in the night
Me against the world, I gotta fight the good fight
[Verse 1]
Gotta get the snake to kill the rat, then turn around and snatch the snake
Trust nobody, even in my circle, gotta keep the faith
They say they want me dead, but I’m just tryna pave my way
Eyes in the back of my head, I pray for better days
[Pre-Chorus]
Next day she askin’ for love, I ain’t got time for games
Hiding in plain sight, like I’m Waldo, stay out of the frame
People chasin’ my shadow, want my soul but I maintain
Keep it silent, no emotion, through the struggle and the pain
[Chorus]
Haters on my body, gotta shake 'em off
My demon whisperin’, "They think you soft,"
But I’m a boss, yeah, I gotta stay tall
Til’ the end, I won’t fall, I’ll outlast them all
[Bridge]
Family worse than friends, that’s the words I remember
Trust is a game, I surrender, keep my core, stay colder
Movin’ in silence, no fakin’, no pretenders
My story, my path — only I can be the sender
[Outro]
Gotta keep it movin’, never look back
Stay in my lane, stay on attack
Witness the pain, but I won’t crack
Survivor in this jungle, I got the knack
