[Intro] ... (Static) (Doors lock...) (Mm...) (No names...) (Contraband...) [Verse 1] Midnight stitched into a velvet coat Every word expensive, every breath remote Silence on my shoulder like a loaded friend Cross another border, never leave a fingerprint Black card, black glass, blacked-out limousine Whole city's talking but they never see the queen Diamond in my smile, poison in my grace Leave another ghost where they swore they'd leave a trace Nothing in my luggage but impossible dreams Everybody buying what is never as it seems They can search my body, check my hands again Can't confiscate the fire living underneath my skin No panic... No rush... Just another lock... Another hush... [Pre-Chorus] Tell 'em look deeper... Tell 'em dig slow... The things that I'm carrying Nobody knows You can take the jewels Burn every photograph Still can't touch My contraband [Chorus] Contraband... Hidden underneath designer skin Contraband... Where the broken angels always win Search every pocket Count every scar You'll never know Who we really are Contraband... Nothing that money can buy Contraband... I smuggled survival alive [Verse 2] Spider silk stitched inside every deal Smiling while I'm teaching counterfeit hearts to heal Every betrayal turned another thread to gold Built an empire out of stories never told Smoke curling slow through cathedral light Trading little pieces of tomorrow every night Saints shake hands with sinners after closing time Everybody guilty, everybody looking fine Tell me who invented all these perfect lies Funny how they glitter when they leave your eyes You can own the city Own the crown Still can't buy what I buried underground [Rap Breakdown] No receipt. No witness. No confession. No forgiveness. I move quiet. Move clean. Whole room freeze When I step unseen. Every scar got interest. Every loss got paid. Built my throne From the promises they made. Never sold my soul... Only leased the fear. Now they hear my name Before I even appear. [Bridge] If tomorrow never finds me... Don't erase the trail... Leave the records broken... Leave the vinyl pale... Every heartbeat crossed a border... Every kiss became a crime... Love was always contraband... Hidden between your hands and mine... [Final Chorus] Contraband... Hidden underneath designer skin Contraband... Where the broken angels always win No chains... No cage... No border line... You can own the world... You'll never own mine... Contraband... Nothing that money can buy Contraband... Still walking out alive... [Outro] (Static...) No names... No evidence... Only echoes... Sinister Sister...
