Lyrics

[Intro] I was ten with a blade, twelve with a stick Thirteen caught a charge, but I ain’t never snitch By sixteen, I was known for hittin’ licks At seventeen, caught a body, had to burn the fit ⸻ [Verse 1] Heard he talkin’, so I slid where his sister stay Black hoodie, black gloves, with the throwaway Waited by the porch — saw him look both ways Caught him near the gate — hit him close range No mask, broad day — let the whole thing spray He ain’t duck, he ain’t run, now the soul just lay Blood pool wide, got it lookin’ like paint He reached out slow, but I walk like a saint I don’t flinch, I don’t think, I just do what’s due If I shoot, I don’t miss — got a code I’m true If he speak on my name, then he bleed on cue I don’t send out threats — I just slide right through Caught two more opps tryna change they route But the streets got rules — and I’m what that’s ’bout ⸻ [Chorus] I move like a ghost, no tag, no tone I’m war-built, stone-faced, heart all gone I don’t play fair — I just get shit done He screamed for his mom, but the shot too strong I live in the dark, still shine like chrome Still locked in time with the east my zone If you cross that line, better guard your dome I don’t want your chain — I just came for bone ⸻ [Verse 2] You ever seen brains spill out on shoes? Ever stood in a room while the body ooze? Ever seen fear freeze a man like glue? That’s the world I know, that’s the path I choose Had a judge try to box me — case fell through Had a rat try to drop me — he got removed I don’t talk ‘bout pain — I just walk with proof If it ain’t on my belt, then it’s in my boot I don’t ride with many — too many got flipped I seen brothers turn snake over ego trips I seen killers get hit by the weakest clips I keep one in the head — I don’t need no script This life ain’t sweet — it’s a deadly gift And I ain’t stoppin’ ’til the dirt get sift ⸻ [Chorus] I move like a ghost, no tag, no tone I’m war-built, stone-faced, heart all gone I don’t play fair — I just get shit done He screamed for his mom, but the shot too strong I live in the dark, still shine like chrome Still locked in time with the east my zone If you cross that line, better guard your dome I don’t want your chain — I just came for bone
