Call Me Anything

[Intro: tremolo guitar, a diner bell] Found you Maybe [Hook: male raps two lines, female answers two] [Male] New name, new town, new color in your hair [Male] Same walk, same laugh, I'd know it anywhere [Female] Call me anything you want, just don't call me found [Female] I been watchin' you look for me since you came to town [Verse 1: Male MC, low and steady] Seven years since she sat in the box and said our names Pointed at the table like she's pickin' out the frames Six of mine in shackles while she slipped out the side With a marshal and a minivan and a brand new life They gave her a birthday and a job and a past Gave her a hometown in a file and a lie built to last But fresh paint on a porch don't change how the frame leans And I been in the business of the space in between [Flow switch: clipped, one beat per word] Gas. Station. Coffee. Black. Clerk says, "Every Tuesday, yeah, she comes back." Bakery on Main with the chipped green door She tips too much like a woman who remembers bein' poor Park across the street with my brim pulled low Seven years of maps and now I'm one street close [Hook: male raps two lines, female answers two] [Male] New name, new town, new color in your hair [Male] Same walk, same laugh, I'd know it anywhere [Female] Call me anything you want, just don't call me found [Female] I been watchin' you look for me since you came to town [Verse 2: female rapper, sharp, dark piano under] You think I missed a rental with the mud on the plate? Same out-of-state sedan circlin' Main since eight I memorized the deputies, the meter maid, the dogs Every back road out of here, I clocked it in a log Learned to shoot left-handed when the right one shook Learned your whole crew's habits from the transcript book [Flow switch: double-time] New name on the mailbox, new face in the mirror, new fear? No, I ain't had fear in years, I had a plan Every Tuesday at the bakery I was bait on a line and you swallowed it whole like a hungry man You see a woman with a pastry and a nervous little smile I see the last of seven, and you drove the whole mile So sit across the street with your brim pulled low I been waitin' on the knock. Now I'm openin' the door [Bridge: drums drop, tremolo guitar, spoken] [Male] You know why I'm here. [Female] I know why you think you are. [Male] They want it quiet. [Female] Then sit down. Order somethin'. Be quiet. [Beat Switch: rapid bar trade, drums double, strings stab] [Male] Six of 'em still locked up 'cause you couldn't keep it shut [Female] Six of 'em locked up 'cause they did what they did, so what the fuck? [Male] Got a car out back and an envelope with your new name [Female] Got a deputy behind you, and he's playin' the same game [Male] I could end it in the lot [Female] You could try [Male] Make it look like nothin' [Female] Make it look like you [Male] So what you want? [Female] Drive home. Tell 'em I'm buried. Tell 'em you checked [Male] And if I don't? [Female] Then I'm takin' the stand again, and this time you're next [Final Hook: both voices] [Male] New name, new town, new color in your hair [Male] Same walk, same laugh, I'd know it anywhere [Female] Call me anything you want, just don't call me found [Female] I been watchin' you look for me since you came to town [Outro: diner bell, tremolo fades] [Female] Coffee's on me [Male] Who are you now? [Female] Anybody but found
