Hook: Black ice on the road, I still drive slow Dark tint on the glass, but the lights glow She said I got colder when the price rose I said I got focused when the nights froze All this pressure got a pulse now Heart loud, but I don’t make a sound now If they want the truth, better sit down I been in the dark making hits now Verse 1: I don’t need a witness, I need clearance I don’t need applause, I need appearance Money on the line got a different interference Had to cut the static just to sharpen up the hearing Cold room, hot wire, two calls pending One false move and the whole thing bending I been too calm with the storm still sending Bad news dressed like a soft-girl ending I seen love turn leverage, seen trust turn invoice Seen friends get quiet when I finally found my own voice I don’t raise my tone, I just sharpen up the choice If it don’t move the mission, then it only makes noise Red wine, black car, rain on the window All these pretty lies got a price and a tempo She want one night with the old me, let him go I buried that boy where the winter winds blow Hook: Black ice on the road, I still drive slow Dark tint on the glass, but the lights glow She said I got colder when the price rose I said I got focused when the nights froze All this pressure got a pulse now Heart loud, but I don’t make a sound now If they want the truth, better sit down I been in the dark making hits now Verse 2: Hard rap, soft pain, that’s the blend now Big plans, close range, no pretend now If I say it’s mine, I defend ground If I say it’s dead, it don’t trend now I was in the back with the numbers and the notebooks Now they see the glow and they study how the room looks I was never lucky, I was early when the road shook Built it from a whisper into something that the phones took I got ghosts in the contacts, names I don’t answer Deals in the pipeline moving like dancers Love in the house, but the world wants ransom I don’t trust fame, it got too many cameras Still I walk in like the outcome got chosen Still I talk less when the stakes get frozen Still I keep faith when the doors start closing Still I make waves from a city under snowdrifts Bridge: Don’t call me if it’s surface Don’t tell me that it’s urgent I been finding purpose Underneath the burden Lights low, heart colder World loud, I’m sober Come close, look closer I was built for the exposure Final Hook: Black ice on the road, I still drive slow Dark tint on the glass, but the lights glow She said I got colder when the price rose I said I got focused when the nights froze All this pressure got a pulse now Heart loud, but I don’t make a sound now If they want the truth, better sit down I been in the dark making hits now
