[Verse 1]
They smile in your face
Then bite through the mask
Snakes in the grass
I can hear them drag
Family built fake
Same blood, same lie
Talk big in the room
Then they fold when it’s time
I seen love get sold
For a bag and a flex
I seen hands turn cold
Over pride and respect
I keep my chin up
I keep my steel in
They want my backbone
I don’t break, I don’t bend
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t call me when it’s late
Don’t call me when it’s bad
You had your chance, you played
Now you can’t take it back
I move with my guard up
I know what you are
A smile in the daylight
A knife in the dark
[Chorus]
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Snakes in the circle
I see through the skin
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Fuck blood, fuck fake love
I still stand in the wind
[Verse 2]
They want your soft side
Then they milk that part
Put a price on your name
Then they tear it apart
I don’t need a crowd
I don’t need the noise
I know who’s for real
By the weight in they voice
If you tap that line
You gon’ learn that night
Some folks wear a cross
But they prey on your light
So I stay locked in
With the truth in view
If the room gets slick
I get colder than you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t call me when it’s late
Don’t call me when it’s bad
You had your chance, you played
Now you can’t take it back
I move with my guard up
I know what you are
A smile in the daylight
A knife in the dark
[Chorus]
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Snakes in the circle
I see through the skin
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Fuck blood, fuck fake love
I still stand in the wind
[Bridge]
When the talk gets thin
And the truth gets loud
I don’t chase that mess
I just cut it out
Let the fake ones spin
Let the real ones stay
I was built from pain
I don’t run away
[Chorus]
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Snakes in the circle
I see through the skin
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Don’t fold, don’t bend
Fuck blood, fuck fake love
I still stand in the wind
