[Verse 1 | G Rate] [Laid-Back Confidence | Clipped Relaxed Cadence] Windows down, the strip is glowin' gold Every dent in this paint got a story told I ain't gotta brag about the life I live Look at the reflection, that's the proof I give Ridin' slow past the boulevard of dreams Everybody chasin' somethin', chasin' seams But my ride tell the truth when my mouth don't speak Every scratch, every shine — that's the life I keep [Hook | Smooth] [Half-Sung, Melodic, Synth Doubles the Vocal Line] Chrome don't lie, mirror don't bend Whatever you see is however I've been Sunset paint every scar candy gold Chrome don't lie — that's the only truth I hold [Verse 2 | G Rate] [Laid-Back, Reflective] Used to want the flash, used to want the noise Now I want the quiet hum of the engine's poise Seen my own reflection change with every year Chrome still catchin' light but the story's more clear Rolled past a version of myself I used to be Standin' on the corner, didn't recognize me But the chrome remembers, chrome keep every phase Every version of me still ridin' in the haze [Hook | Smooth] repeat [Bridge | G Rate | Smooth] [Reflective, Punchy, Trading Lines] [G Rate] Everybody polish up the outside, hide what's inside [Smooth] I just let the dents show, let the truth ride [G Rate] You can fake a smile, you can fake a name [Smooth] But you can't fake chrome catchin' evenin' flame [Verse 3 | G Rate] [Laid-Back, Confident Close] So I'll take the long way home tonight, no rush at all Let the sunset hit the hood, let the evening fall Every street I know like the back of my hand This the only kind of truth that I understand Chrome and sunset, that's my testament too Concrete and candy paint, that's the closest thing to true So when you see me rollin', you already know Chrome don't lie, and neither does this glow [Hook | Smooth, bigger] repeat [Outro | G Rate | Smooth] [Keyboard Hook Fades, Engine Idle] [G Rate] Chrome don't lie. [Smooth] Neither do I.
