[Verse 1] I came up through the back Where the locks all rust Where the boys talk low And the old heads hush Same cracked front steps Same blacked-out van Same watch in my palm And a mark on my hand I don't owe that block I just know that code Keep your mouth zipped tight When the truth gets told They see me move weird Like I don't feel fear I been set on fire Then I learnt to steer Cold look, warm grin That's how I slide in If they want my name Tell 'em time don't bend [Pre-Chorus] I been on my job I been out the way If you want that smoke Pick another day Hear that pound in the room That's the warning sign When the pressure rise I don't lose my line [Chorus] Back door, back door That's my route home Back door, back door I don't move slow Back door, back door When the crowd gets loud Back door, back door I’m already out (already out) [Verse 2] Mama said "boy, don't trip" I said "I know, ma" Kept a clean white tee But my thoughts move raw I seen friends switch sides For a little more shine Seen a whole bad bet Turn a king to a liar Now I count my steps Like a prayer in code One eye on the door One on what they wrote Ain't no fairy tales Where I grew my spine You can hear the strain In the pause between lines If the room get tense I get ice-cold still Let 'em raise their voice I don't break my chill [Pre-Chorus] I been on my job I been out the way If you want that smoke Pick another day Hear that pound in the room That's the warning sign When the pressure rise I don't lose my line [Chorus] Back door, back door That's my route home Back door, back door I don't move slow Back door, back door When the crowd gets loud Back door, back door I’m already out (already out) [Bridge] Old scars talk When the night gets thin I don't chase applause I don't fold for them If the whole place shakes Let it shake without me I got bigger plans And a key to the seat Back door, back door That's the line I take Back door, back door Never late, never fake [Final Chorus] Back door, back door That's my route home Back door, back door I don't move slow Back door, back door When the crowd gets loud Back door, back door I’m already out (already out) Back door, back door Hear the hinges moan Back door, back door I’m in my zone Back door, back door If the night turns rough Back door, back door I don’t stay stuck (don't stay stuck)
