🔥🟧Marlow Six - (2021) Concrete Superstition - Bad Sign Walking [v6bS01]

[Intro: (sped-up rock bass riff, beat fades in, simple looping groove)]

[Verse 1: (laid-back menacing rap over same fast rock-bass drill groove)]
Step in the block and the whole lane clock how I'm bad sign walking,
Mouths go shut, no more brave talk, just nervous little whisper talking,
See a big man freeze up, can't move, saying it must be luck,
But every time I touch down, some next man's pattern get stuck,
I'm that omen in a black track top, hood half up, eyes open,
If I lean on a wall, that deal falls through, contracts never get opened,
Every hallway know when I slide through, feel the air shift, that's warning,
Estate get cold like a blackout sudden, storm in the staircase dawning.

[Verse 2: (hook-style verse, stacked ad-libs over same pounding groove)]
Bad sign walking, you don't want me in your function, trust I'm bad sign walking,
Whole dance hush when the mandem clock it, hear them fake bruddas stop talking,
If I'm in frame, some snake get cut, some paper tear, I'm the omen,
Every pagan shake, cup in his hand all rattling like the glass half frozen,
You see that look in my face, that's thunder with the calm still often,
Every sly scheme, every shortcut die off when my trainers soften.

[Instrumental: (short loop, same bass riff and full drums continue)]

[Verse 3: (animated rap, double-time bursts over same relentless bass bounce)]
Rumour mill spinning round flats, every auntie, every yout talk smoke on my name,
Say whenever I appear, plans crash out, link-ups twist, something stray from the frame,
I don't brag on bodies, I just walk in slow, let the silence turn violent,
Little wasteman act up, then fall off quick, whole crew go quiet, compliant,
Ninjas blame "bad vibes", blame "karma", blame any damn thing but their choices,
Same time they refresh group chats, type paragraphs with shaking voices,
I just sip my drink in the corner, clock exits, exits, routes all mapped,
Know which door's blessed, which path look cursed, which handshake feel like a trap,
You can pray to your saints, your crystals, your pastor, your horoscope chart,
But if I stand in the doorway grinning, your bright idea already fell apart.

[Verse 4: (hook-style verse again, more ad-libs on unchanged groove)]
Bad sign walking, you don't want me near your bag, I'm bad sign walking,
Whole scheme stall when I lean in close, now nobody really feels like talking,
If I'm in shot, some lie get shown, some fake link snap, I'm the omen,
Every sly smile crack on a pagan face till the jawline stiff and frozen,
You see that calm in my eyes, that's storm with the volume turned down often,
Every quick win, every cheap trick fade out when my footsteps soften.

[Instrumental: (longer instrumental ride, same riff loop and stomping drums)]

[Break: (drums drop, muffled next-room bass loop, echoing ad-libs)]
Lights still on but the sound go thin, hear my laugh ride over that bassline,
Whole room held in a chokehold moment, everybody feel stuck in the same time.

[Verse 5: (darker fatalistic rap, same urgent pounding bass-and-drum groove)]
I don't chase no hype, I don't beg no stage, still the mic get nervous round me,
Promoter see my shadow on the shutter, swear the lock feel weak, feel lousy,
Opps keep posting, opps keep boasting, then flake when the date keeps nearing,
I don't even bark, I just stroll on by, let the hallway crush their cheering,
Seen man bet house on a shaky move, swear it's "destined", swear it's "gold",
I step out front and the buyer ghost, that pipe dream crumble, turn old,
Seen suits in ties try muscle the blocks with a smile and a legal threat,
Couple months later that office empty, shutters down, whole plan in debt,
I'm not god, I'm not devil, I'm pressure in a puffa and creps still creasing,
When I pass through, truth peel back like paint, every mask fall off, no easing.

[Bridge: (hollow next-room bass loop, whispered vocal drenched in echo)]
Hear that bass from the next room knocking, but in here it's empty, heartbeats stalling,
My voice bounce round these stairwell walls, echo on echo, calling and calling,
No drums, no crowd, just the concrete listening, every bad decision crawling,
If you feel that chill on your neck when I whisper, you know whose luck I'm hauling.

[Verse 6: (final hook-style verse, most intense ad-libs on same stomp)]
Bad sign walking, you don't want me in your life, I'm bad sign walking,
Whole timeline, whole roadside, whole house go numb when they hear I'm talking,
If I'm in place, some script get flipped, some fake king stripped, I'm the omen,
Every snake fade out of the frame real quick, left staring at the floor half frozen,
You see that stare with the smirk cut sharp, that's thunder under skin so often,
Every loudmouth, every backdoor deal, every soft lie soften when my steps soften.

[Instrumental: (extended outro loop, same riff as layers slowly drop)]

[Outro: (beat and bass fade, last distant ad-lib echo)]
