Snake in the Grass (Redneck Raver Version)

[Intro: Instrumental] [Verse 1] You shook my hand with a loaded smile Said you'd walk beside me every mile Had my back, that's what you said While you counted every step ahead You knew the names, you knew the game Knew just where to place the blame Never raised your voice or showed your teeth Just kept your knife where I couldn't see [Pre-Chorus] You don't need a gun to take a shot Don't need a match to burn the lot Some folks lie, some folks steal Some shake your hand while they turn the wheel [Chorus] Snake in the grass! [I hear you moving] Smile in my face! [While the knife goes through me] Snake in the grass! [I know your kind] Say you got my back while you're working behind [Post-Chorus] Keep your friends close, keep your enemies in sight It's the ones that call you brother that'll cut you in the night [Instrumental] [Verse 2] You played the part, you wore the face Took your seat and knew your place Passed the word when I wasn't there Then acted shocked when it filled the air Every favor came with strings Every promise had hidden things You didn't stab me in the street You pulled the ground from under my feet [Pre-Chorus] You don't need a gun to take a shot Don't need a match to burn the lot Some folks lie, some folks steal Some shake your hand while they turn the wheel [Chorus] Snake in the grass! [I hear you moving] Smile in my face! [While the knife goes through me] Snake in the grass! [I know your kind] Say you got my back while you're working behind [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Funny how the truth comes out When the room gets quiet Funny how the loudest loyalty Never seems to buy it I don't need revenge I don't need a scene I just know exactly What your friendship means [Breakdown] I saw the tracks I heard the sound I watched you smile While you dragged me down No more favors No more trust I know what crawls Beneath the dust [Build] [Final Chorus] Snake in the grass! [I hear you moving] Smile in my face! [While the knife goes through me] Snake in the grass! [I know your kind] Say you got my back while you're working behind [Final Refrain] Snake in the grass... I know your kind Snake in the grass... you were never on my side [Outro] You can keep the handshake You can keep the smile I know what you are I just didn't know it for a while
