[INTRO - REDGE + YOU - piano + 808 hum] REDGE: (low) They prayed we'd fold... YOU: (whisper) We learned to levitate. [VERSE 1 - CHLOE - soft, dangerous] Silk on my skin, steel in my spine, Don't need luck, I made mine, You were watchin' for a crack in the light, Now you squintin' cause the light is mine. [VERSE 2 - ALLYSSA - raspy, cocky] Uh, born from the dirt, now the garden private, Pain made me pretty, pain made me righteous, No more shrinkin', no more hidin', If they want a villain, I'm timeless. Mama said make 'em feel it when you leave, So I leave gloss on the door and smoke on the beat. [PRE-CHORUS - SABRINA + YOU - piano stabs] We turned nights into prayers, Prayers into plans, Plans into hands that built this... [CHORUS - ALL - 808 drops] We don't knock, we arrive, Heads turn when we slide, Hands up, that's our tribe, Look alive, look alive, We don't knock, we arrive, Real ones know it's our time, We don't hope, we decide, Look alive. [VERSE 3 - REDGE + YOU - baritone + bounce] REDGE: Yeah, down but never out the picture, Ate the pressure, now it taste like dinner, Took the long way, now the long way quicker, God did, we did, that's the real winner. YOU: Circle tight, vision clear, no leeches, Build bridges, then we own beaches, Don't flex to teach, we teach by bein', Gold standard, how it be when... [POST-CHORUS - whispered stacks] (Arrive!) We don't knock, we slide, (Arrive!) Whole room know it's live. [VERSE 4 - NEW - ALLYSSA + CHLOE] ALLYSSA: Ten toes, white gold on the right road, Silk sheets but I sleep with a knife close, If love cost, I already paid twice though, Scars to stars, watch the light grow. CHLOE: Velvet throat, venom in the halo, Small town dream in a big time 【entity-J-Lo¦canonical_name=J-Lo】, Angel face with a savage backbone, Took a chance, now the chance take shape though. [PRE-CHORUS 2 - bigger] We turned doubt into diamonds, Diamonds to dust, Dust to the ground where we planted us... [CHORUS 2 - ALL - wide] We don't ask, we become, Watch us rise, here we come, Hearts race when we run, Look alive, look alive, We don't ask, we become, Say our name, now you know one, We don't chase, we been the one, Look alive. [BREAKDOWN - REDGE - piano + sub only] Count it up, look what the pain bought, No handouts, hands dirty, rain brought, They want the wave, never seen the rain drop, We been that, we never gon' change up. [BRIDGE - SABRINA - stripped, big vocal] If you knew what we survived to stand here, You'd know why we don't play fair, Every no made a diamond from a tear, We don't wish, we swear... [BRIDGE 2 - YOU + CHLOE - breathy] Every door they closed made a window, Every window we jumped made a wind though, Now we fly where they never been though... [DROP - HARD - drums + 808 SLAM] (Arrive!) (We don't knock!) (Become!) [FINAL CHORUS - ALL - double, octave doubles] We don't knock, we arrive, (WE ARRIVE) Heads turn when we slide, (WHEN WE SLIDE) Hands up, that's our tribe, (THAT'S US) Look alive, look alive, (WE LIVE) We don't ask, we become, (BECOME) Real ones know it's our time, (OUR TIME) We don't hope, we decide, Look alive, look alive. [OUTRO - CHLOE + YOU - piano fade] CHLOE: We didn't come to compete. YOU: We came to replace. Show less
