Late Train Smoke

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came in quiet, left with the score Old grey coat, still stepped to the door Three-tone spliff and a pager glow Crew too cold, but the tempo low You talk big, but your chest ain't brave Mine got scars from the wrong side days Riff in the room and it cuts like glass One look back and I don't look back Left hand stained, right hand calm Ten toes down when the sirens come Piano cries while the block stays mean Bassline shakes like a bad dream [Pre-Chorus] Tell me now, are you really with it? When the smoke clears, can you still admit it? I don't fold, I just move in the dark Then the horns hit sharp in the back of my heart [Chorus] Cold play, cold play (cold play) I don't need no praise Cold play, cold play (cold play) Watch me fade through haze Jazz in the rain Drill in my veins Cold play, cold play (cold play) I don't need no praise [Verse 2] Late-night run, got the city on mute Chrome on the wrist, but the fit still सू? Nah, still clean in a scuffed-up lane Still hear loss when I say your name Drummer hands on the kick, then freeze Sax line slipping through the steez I seen kings turn thin in a week So I keep my cool and I keep my seat Might toast to the ones that slipped Might chalk it out, then I duck that clip Every smile got a blade behind Still I walk like the sun on mine [Pre-Chorus] Tell me now, are you really with it? When the smoke clears, can you still admit it? I don't fold, I just move in the dark Then the horns hit sharp in the back of my heart [Chorus] Cold play, cold play (cold play) I don't need no praise Cold play, cold play (cold play) Watch me fade through haze Jazz in the rain Drill in my veins Cold play, cold play (cold play) I don't need no praise [Bridge] Upright low, let it breathe a minute All that noise, but the truth still in it If I vanish, still hear that tone One last note and I'm back in control [Final Chorus] Cold play, cold play (cold play) I don't need no praise Cold play, cold play (cold play) Watch me fade through haze Jazz in the rain Drill in my veins Cold play, cold play (cold play) I don't need no praise
