Basement Sax

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came up through the rain, bro Cold hand on the gate, bro One eye on the track, though One ear on the sax, bro Late shift, no sleep, no show Basement steps, let me in slow Cash in a brown coat, low Face in the glass go ghost They want smoke, I want peace But the block keep teeth Old tune in the backseat New fear in the week I move quiet, move deep No shine on my sleeve You talk big, I don't speak Just keep it under the teeth [Pre-Chorus] Hear that horn line bend Like it knows what's next Moonlight on the fence And the whole thing tense Hold that breath, hold that stare When the floor runs red If you step too near Better watch your step [Chorus] Basement sax, let it snap Basement sax, make it slap Cold night, blacked-out cap Basement sax, where you at? Basement sax, let it snap Basement sax, make it slap One dark hit, then we back Basement sax, make it crack [Verse 2] Seen more lies than gold, man More tricks than a card hand More "bro" from the wrong hands Than a prayer in a hard plan I don't fold, I don't chat I just circle the map With a loop in my head And a grin on the strap Your man's all talk, all pose Mine's all scars, all code Heard the floorboards groan When the truth got close Blue smoke in the room, don't blink Big bass under the sink Sax cry through the break Then the whole street think [Bridge] If the night wants a name Put mine in the frame If the fear wants a flame Let it burn, then change Lean back, let it swing Let the darkness sing One last note in the chain Then we cut the sting [Chorus] Basement sax, let it snap Basement sax, make it slap Cold night, blacked-out cap Basement sax, where you at? Basement sax, let it snap Basement sax, make it slap One dark hit, then we back Basement sax, make it crack
