Little Steiny (Bad Karma, Good Kid)

[Intro] Yeah Lil Steiny Ride or die aura (uh) Good heart in a bad world [Verse 1] I was ridin’ with a trunk full, eyes on the rearview Ticket to a cell, I was prayin’ they don’t peer through Speedin’ in a beater with a warrant in the glovebox Baby in the car seat, stickin’ all the love on Weed in the wind, too loud, that was my scent Ten missed calls, I was deep in my nonsense Blue lights flash, felt the whole sky freeze up Hand on the wheel, tryna act like I cleaned up Cop at the window, breath smellin’ like trouble Heartbeat drummin’, every lie comin’ double Then I look back, she just starin’ like a sunrise Tiny little Steiny, put peace on the gunfight Laughin’ with her fingers in my beard, no fear Suddenly my anger disappeared, thoughts clear I swear that the devil lost grip on my neck that night ‘Cause my baby girl sittin’ there, glowin’ like a porch light [Chorus] Little Steiny, my saint in the chaos (yeah) Good kid in a world full of payoffs I’m ridin’ dirty, but she cleanin’ up my brain waves Tuggin’ on my heart when I’m rage-crazed Little Steiny, got grace in her small hands Calm eyes cuttin’ through the law and the war plans I break rules, but she breakin’ up the bad trance Criminal soul with a daughter as my last chance (last chance) [Verse 2] Family at the table, same old crossfire Voices gettin’ sharp, every word turned barbed wire Uncle talk slick, I’m about to flip the whole plate Chair scrape back, see the red in my own face Then I feel a little tug on my shirt seam Look down, see my baby with a smirk, clean Big eyes say, “Dad, we don’t need that” Didn’t speak a word, still she pulled me off the speed trap How a little angel walk through my rough past Take a man ready for war, make the blood pass Got me breathin’ slow when I’m itchin’ for a conflict Turn a curse to a joke, change the whole topic I used to love the chase, runnin’ from the blue suits Now I’m tryna make it home to her new shoes Same streets, same sins, same old enemies Only thing different is the kid in the back seat [Chorus] Little Steiny, my saint in the chaos (yeah) Good kid in a world full of payoffs I’m ridin’ dirty, but she cleanin’ up my brain waves Tuggin’ on my heart when I’m rage-crazed Little Steiny, got grace in her small hands Calm eyes cuttin’ through the law and the war plans I break rules, but she breakin’ up the bad trance Criminal soul with a daughter as my last chance [Bridge] She don’t know nothin’ ‘bout the guns in the floorboard (shh) She just know cartoons, snacks, and her chalkboard But when the world press down, she my soft word Talk me off the ledge with a laugh and a small word (yeah) Every time I wanna turn this whole block violent She just tug the hoodie string, turn the block silent [Chorus] Little Steiny, my saint in the chaos Good kid in a world full of payoffs I’m ridin’ dirty, but she cleanin’ up my brain waves Tuggin’ on my heart when I’m rage-crazed (rage-crazed) Little Steiny, got grace in her small hands Calm eyes cuttin’ through the law and the war plans If the world wanna drag me in a mad dance I’m a outlaw dad with a last stand, last chance (yeah)
