[Intro] (Mmm-mmm) (Mmm-mmm) (Mmm-mmm) (Mmm-mmm) [Chorus] Whoa, hold the line Oh, oh, time don't bend Nah, nah, count bricks by the skyline Count 'em, ahead even when the road don't end Still (woo) [Verse 1] When speech late when the syntax switch Sidewalk talk and the TikTok glitch Rep feels sharp in the semicolon Life got taxed when the bank got rich Say less, ground got layers No brace period, paid off prayers Tick mark judge on my shift that way Still cut wins from the edge of terrors Love don't count but the label loud Shed the skip when the coat too proud Elevators frozen, I'm broke down fast Still ride slow, stair-scream sound No math low, just clock artists No cap facts in a line besides it Muscle memory from a wall of blocks Now exit signs where the ends was knotted (woo) [Chorus] Whoa, hold the line Oh, oh, time don't bend Nah, nah, count bricks by the skyline Count 'em, ahead even when the road don't end Still (woo) [Verse 2] Truth got weight, I can press that tight Fold these lines and get night on sight Steel in the word when the stress go snap Freight train pace and a pen I write Mind got peace but the flow don't pause Want to talk wild but the beat got laws I stay clean in a dirty forecast Margins move but the base still calls No front, I own my stance As dry ink speak with the ghosted fans They chase flash, I chase flaws Building shade till the work drawn plans Low bar just stamp the time Every step meant in the chalk outline Fall don't phase when the floor retract Blueprint bounce and the facts aligned [Chorus] Whoa, hold the line (hold the line) Oh, oh, time don't bend Nah, nah, count bricks by the skyline Count 'em, ahead even when the road don't end Still [Verse 3] Pressure bend me, pop the set Large repeat in a mode reset Eyes locked forward, spine stay taut Mark each blow till the silence met No loud barking to keep respect I keep deaf, don't scream when the words got logic Transcript clean, no bluff, no docket Bars hold weight, never slip off topic Seen giants draw for comfort seeks Ghost hold heat through a thousand weeks Gap-tooth braces, brick by teeth Every dial out with that silent peaks Time took sharp like a blade in sync Gears locked step in the thought link brink Clock don't ask if you earned that slot I was born on beat, never missed that blink (woo) [Chorus] Whoa, hold the line Oh, oh, time don't bend Nah, nah, count bricks by the skyline Count 'em, ahead even when the road don't end Still
