Basement Cipher — watomihuiru

Текст песни

I came up through the basement steps
Paint chipped off, pocket full of checks
Old crews fold, I still hold my breath
Cold hands, warm steel, no time for flex

You talk big, but you move like rent
Late on the count, then the whole night spent
I learned fast when the money went
Count one loss, then I get right back

Black hoodie, boots with the mud on them
Dead phone buzz, I ain't trust none
Mama said, “Boy, keep your face front”
So I keep one eye on the cut one

They don't know this lane
They don't know this name
I move in the rain
Then I leave no stain

Basement cipher
I keep it tighter
Basement cipher
I move much wiser
Say my name low
Say it like that
Basement cipher
I don't fold back

Back room talk, I hear the whole plan
Who switched sides, who shook no hand
One false move, then the whole thing's sand
Build on pride, it will not stand

I seen smiles with a blade behind
Seen fake love take a real one blind
I don't chase shine, I chase my time
Every scar here wrote my line

Tape deck hiss when I step in
Whole block know what I rep then
No fake laugh, no pretend friends
Just my pulse and the pen, then

They don't know this lane
They don't know this name
I move in the rain
Then I leave no stain

Basement cipher
I keep it tighter
Basement cipher
I move much wiser
Say my name low
Say it like that
Basement cipher
I don't fold back

If the room go dark, I still see clear
If the drum stop short, I still be here
I don't need much, just a real one near
And a way back out when the wolves get near

Basement cipher
I keep it tighter
Basement cipher
I move much wiser
Say my name low
Say it like that
Basement cipher
I don't fold back
