Intro / Ad-libs)
Yeah, woo, yeah-yeah, huh
(Chorus)
Enemies 'round me, circles 'round me, feel the pressure in my veins
Whispers in the shadows, counting losses, counting games
Enemies 'round me, smiling faces, fake plates on fake chains
Keep my circle tight, watch the light — I move steady through the rain
(Verse 1)
Rollin' out at midnight, city glow on my back
Phone buzz, unknown number — loyalty off track
Eyes watch the corners where the rumors like to crawl
They pray on my missteps, tryna make me fall
Pocket full of memories, pockets full of plans
I keep a lil' distance, never leavin' trust in hands
Mama said beware the praise that comes with a grin
Cause the same tongue that blesses you will stab your skin
(Chorus)
Enemies 'round me, circles 'round me, feel the pressure in my veins
Whispers in the shadows, counting losses, counting games
Enemies 'round me, smiling faces, fake plates on fake chains
Keep my circle tight, watch the light — I move steady through the rain
(Verse 2)
Moves calculated, chess not checkers, homie, life is cold
They postin' up like friends but they want pieces of my soul
Chain heavy, heart heavier, nights I can't explain
Smile in the morning, but at night I feel the strain
Made it out the gutter, now they tryna claim my name
Photos with a fake laugh, switch up at the frame
I keep notes on motives, receipts for every smile
If they playin' both sides, I won't waste time for trial
(Bridge)
Whispered threats in corners, cold air on the lawn
Keep my foot on the gas, won’t let the engine die down
Fake love in abundance, true love's in short supply
Got my mind on the future, got my eyes on the sky
(Chorus)
Enemies 'round me, circles 'round me, feel the pressure in my veins
Whispers in the shadows, counting losses, counting games
Enemies 'round me, smiling faces, fake plates on fake chains
Keep my circle tight, watch the light — I move steady through the rain
(Verse 3 — quieter, reflective)
Lessons in the backseat, scars that taught me code
Every closed door opened up another road
I ain't paranoid, I'm cautious — that's the key
Trust is like a ticket, only meant for the VIP
If you ridin' with me, you better show your truth
No room for two-faced stories in my youth
Enemies 'round me, yeah, but I'm built to last
Turn the noise to my fuel, leave the past in the past
(Chorus / Outro)
Enemies 'round me, circles 'round me, feel the pressure in my veins
Whispers in the shadows, counting losses, counting games
Enemies 'round me, smiling faces, fake plates on fake chains
Keep my circle tight, watch the light — I move steady through the rain
(Ad-libs fade)
Yeah, keep it close, keep it close — woo
Enemies 'round me, but I stay chose(n)
Porque music
See you when I see you
