Don't Blink, Don't Stare

Lyrics

[Intro] No blink, no pause Keep the door chained, count every cause [Verse 1] Lil Jeff with the hood pulled low Phone on silent, still the room knows One eye on the clock, one eye on the gate Everybody talks till it’s time to wait I don’t chase rumors, I measure the floor Know which hinge sings when I open the door You want a favor, say it plain, don’t stare I read the whole room from the cut of your hair [Pre-Chorus] Don’t blink when the pressure arrives No spare words, just keep it alive If you came with a mask, leave it there Truth gets heavy when nobody cares [Chorus] Don’t blink, don’t stare Keep both feet planted, stay aware No slip, no scare Lil Jeff in the cut, still breathing air Don’t blink, don’t stare Say what you mean if you’re really there Hands up, clear We move through the noise with a cold-eyed glare [Verse 2] Back of the store, blue tape on the crate Old man counts change while I calculate Rain on the awning, bus rolls late I learned real patience from a locked steel gate No gold talk, no borrowed shine Just a cheap black hoodie and a disciplined mind They want quick answers, I give them a look Every page got a price, every promise got took [Bridge] Hold that breath, let the room go still Choose one road, then choose your will No big speech, no need to explain Some folks disappear when they hear their name [Chorus] Don’t blink, don’t stare Keep both feet planted, stay aware No slip, no scare Lil Jeff in the cut, still breathing air Don’t blink, don’t stare Say what you mean if you’re really there Hands up, clear We move through the noise with a cold-eyed glare [Outro] No blink No stare Stay ready Stay there
