[LYRICS] [Intro] [FX: 808 sub hum rises, vinyl crackle] [FX: metallic swish blade flick] Velvet... [demon accent:] Switchblade... Love. [adlib:] Let's go! [Hook] They see the ice, the whip, the kill They see the blade, think it's steel, it's so real But late night, silk sheets, just us two My velvet love's the sharpest thing I own, it's the truth [left vocal:] Velvet cut! [right vocal:] Switchblade love! [center:] Ayy! [adlib whisper:] That's the one. My velvet love's the only cut I wanna feel My velvet love's the only cut I wanna feel [demon accent:] Cut 'em deep... [Verse 1] Money tall, Birkin small, I flood the spot [adlib:] Skrrt! All black, venom clap, I run the block They see the flash, the cash, the dash I'm in Think I'm cold, think I'm hard, think I'll never bend [FX: hat roll fills] But you the one who see the crack, the microscopic sigh Bite my lip, the guard slip - you see through the lie See the blade wrapped in that plush, that's the lethal touch Only one who gets the side the public never clutch [FX: 808 slide down] I'm street and suite, power moves in boardroom coup Come home, lay my crown right next to you Realest flex ain't in the bank, it's in the trust [FX: hat triplet roll] You hold me when the city's turnin' rust [adlib:] Facts [Hook] [guardian voice:] Truth. They see the ice, the whip, the kill [guardian voice:] Truth. They see the blade, think it's steel, it's so real [guardian voice:] Truth. But late night, silk sheets, just us two My velvet love's the sharpest thing I own, it's the truth [left vocal:] Velvet cut! [right vocal:] Switchblade love! [center:] Ayy! [adlib whisper:] That's the one. My velvet love's the only cut I wanna feel My velvet love's the only cut I wanna feel [demon accent:] Cut 'em deep... [Verse 2] Fast life, new heights, I'm movin' silent, lethal [adlib:] Bling! They see the Rollie, see the gloss, they see the evil Think I'm cutthroat, think I'm take, take, take [FX: 808 half note slide] But you the one I let my fingertips just shake I rap like lightning, talk my shit, I'm on a tier [FX: hat roll 32nd notes] But in your arms, I'm just a girl who's shakin' off the fear Blade's for the wolves who wanna bite and test You get the velvet, you get love throughout the rest Power's in the quiet, in the still, the glance You look at me, you see the throne, not just the dance I'll slice the world in two to keep our bubble safe [FX: 808 hard slide up] My sharpest weapon's love I can't erase [adlib:] Can't erase! [Bridge] [FX: drums removed, sub and pads remain, subkick pulse 60 BPM, granular hiss swell] [whispered:] They don't know the soft inside the steel They don't know the way you make me feel Underneath the armor, past the boast [FX: pad swell] You're the one I... need the most [demon accent:] Just us... just us... just us... [Hook] [FX: full beat return, punchier drums, clap layer added, synth LFO doubled] They see the ice, the whip, the kill [demon accent:] Truth They see the blade, think it's steel, it's so real [demon accent:] Truth But late night, silk sheets, just us two [demon accent:] Truth My velvet love's the sharpest thing I own, it's the truth [left vocal:] Velvet cut! [right vocal:] Switchblade love! [center:] Ayy! My velvet love's the only cut I wanna feel My velvet love's the only cut I wanna feel [FX: held feeeeel 2 bars auto pan vibrato, pitched down vocal chop on final syllable:] cut [Outro] [FX: beat fades with filter sweep to 200Hz] Velvet... Switchblade... Love. [FX: shimmer synth trail rises, white noise build, digital slash cut] [KEY/TEMPO] [Key suggestions: C minor for dark romantic edge] [Tempo suggestions: 135 to 145 BPM for tight trap pacing, with 140 BPM as intended] [Chosen key: C minor]
