Jake on the Hood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jake on her hood Too calm, too close Hand on the frame Cold in the porch Got a black gun tucked He thinks he's brave But the block holds breath For the first mistake She don't move an inch She don't scream out loud Just eyes on the dash And feet on the ground [Pre-Chorus] Blue flash in the street Boots hit the curb One hard shout And the whole scene blur His grin slips off When he sees that line Too late, too late They cut the night [Chorus] Jake on her hood Jake on her hood He tried to play bold He didn't get far Jake on her hood Jake on her hood Cops took him down Before the shot [Verse 2] Hands up high Face to the glass Metal at his waist Thought he'd make it last But the radio crack And the tires squeal One fast move And the whole thing's real She watches from the curb Like a storm passed through Shaking off the fear That he tried to throw at you Now the porch light burns On a broken kind of night And the only thing left Is the echo of the fight [Pre-Chorus] Blue flash in the street Boots hit the curb One hard shout And the whole scene blur His grin slips off When he sees that line Too late, too late They cut the night [Chorus] Jake on her hood Jake on her hood He tried to play bold He didn't get far Jake on her hood Jake on her hood Cops took him down Before the shot [Bridge] Now tell me, what was that for? One bad choice Turns into more Steel in the dark Fear on the wheel One quick step And the truth came real [Final Chorus] Jake on her hood Jake on her hood He tried to play bold He didn't get far Jake on her hood Jake on her hood Cops took him down Before the shot
