[Verse 1]
I ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
One wrong step, then the whole thing shows
I learned fast, had to cut them ropes
Same old trap, I don’t chase those ghosts
Same old lies, I seen that script
Same old grin with the same old switch
I was down bad, now my line stay straight
I don’t backtrack, I don’t tempt that fate
You can keep that “trust me” talk
I don’t walk where the snakes still talk
I don’t cuff no pain from the past
If it broke once, it don’t get a pass
[Pre-Chorus]
I move clean, I move wise
No more games, no more highs
If you fake, I’m out that frame
I don’t burn for your flame
[Chorus]
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
Same mistake? I close that door
I don’t go back there no more
(ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes)
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
If you play, then let me go
I keep my soul out the road
(ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes)
[Verse 2]
Don’t fuck with people who do that dumb
Set you up then they act so numb
Smiling hard while they sell you smoke
I see the signs, I don’t need the joke
Had a few nights where I almost slipped
Almost slipped, but I got a grip
Now my heart got a steel-frame lock
And my name don’t fold for a cheap-ass plot
I’m in my lane with a hard-earned glow
You want chaos, I want calm and goals
I don’t do deals with a foul mouth grin
If you bring that mess, don’t let me in
Every scar got a lesson sewn
Every loss made my backbone grow
I don’t need what the weak ones chase
I’d rather eat clean and keep my pace
[Bridge]
Try once, I’m gone
Try twice, you’re wrong
I don’t bend for the bait
I don’t fall for the fake
[Chorus]
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
Same mistake? I close that door
I don’t go back there no more
(ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes)
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
Ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes
If you play, then let me go
I keep my soul out the road
(ain’t doin’ no slippery slopes)
