[Verse 1]
I wore the blue like a mask
Badge on, face off
Pulled up late to the scene
Still wrote my own report
I found my cut in the dark
Cash in a glove box seam
Told them, "This all goes away"
If they keep it on the screen
I know the neighbors seen me
I know the kids seen too
I made a home outta lies
And I called that "truth"
One hand on the law
One hand in the stash
I took a little from the lost
Then I doubled back
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ask me where it went
I filed it under "lost"
I smile for the camera
Then I break what it costs
[Chorus]
Blue badge, black heart
That's my lane
Blue badge, black heart
Say my name
I take what I want
Then I walk away
Blue badge, black heart
Every day
[Verse 2]
I leaned on a kid for a name
Leaned hard till he shook
Gave him a night in the cage
Then I rewrote the book
I split the payout neat
With a grin and a nod
Judge got a polished story
And the city got robbed
I kept my coffee cold
Kept my voice calm
Told the desk, "Case closed"
While I cleaned my palms
If the stack got thin
I'd shake somebody down
Make a saint outta fear
Make a ghost outta sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ask me where it went
I filed it under "lost"
I smile for the camera
Then I break what it costs
[Chorus]
Blue badge, black heart
That's my lane
Blue badge, black heart
Say my name
I take what I want
Then I walk away
Blue badge, black heart
Every day
[Bridge]
Now the mirror won't lie
It knows my face
Every line I crossed
Got a number and a name
I hear boots in the hall
Even when it's still
You can bury your sins
But they climb back in the will
[Final Chorus]
Blue badge, black heart
That's my lane
Blue badge, black heart
Say my name
I take what I want
Then I walk away
Blue badge, black heart
Every day
Blue badge, black heart
Paid in blame
Blue badge, black heart
Know my stain
I wore the law
Like a getaway
Blue badge, black heart
Every day
