Bite the Now

[INTRO] Don’t think, don’t measure, don’t dress it up, don’t hush Don’t “get it,” don’t bind it, don’t box it clean — nah, don’t rush [VERSE 1] World ain’t never been neat, never lined up right Soon as you fix it up, you starvin’ life Don’t glaze that wound, let it breathe, let it bite “Right” got chains, tryna choke your light Red don’t need no reason — it burn on sight Black don’t explain — it pull you to night Lines scream loud, stall right ‘fore they form Look still on the surface, but they storm in your core [PRE] That a face? a god? a scar? — nah, cut it That’s life right there — feel it, don’t dub it [HOOK] Sun ain’t here just to shine, nah It crack the sky, split truth in time Rip that layer, peel that lie If you livin’ for real — then bite, don’t hide [VERSE 2] Past ain’t holy, that’s a shelf fulla props Future ain’t hope, just a clock that stalls Only “now” got teeth, standin’ tall Chew through exits, run straight through walls You want meaning? then freeze right there Grip it too tight, you thin out, you tear If it burn in your chest, then move, don’t stare More you blaze up, more life in the air [BREAKDOWN] Hold your ugly, wave that fear Keep them contradictions sittin’ right here Kick that cage, step out clear Pain and laughs? same flame, same gear (Stomp that — yeah, stomp that) [BRIDGE] Explosion ain’t wreck — it’s a signal blast Life you held back breakin’ out fast Boom hit heavy, shift that air Only in that second — truth get bare [OUTRO] You really alive? — answer that quick Beat keep knockin’, don’t duck that hit Step on the now, carve your lane If you breathin’ for real — then break them chains Go ‘head — burst, don’t tame
