[Intro] [Whispered, sassy, high-pitched] ...everybody plays... a role... [Verse 1] [Aggressive sassy rap, high-pitched, childlike bite, fast flow] My stare is venom— sunset wrapped in a threat, Sick of every switching face in the artificial set. Painted lips and batting lashes— calculated fake, Squinting eyes and pretty lies and every vow you break. ... Too slow. You stalled on decisions, now the wreckage is your address, Hesitation left a mark— and now that mark became your necklace. Walk in any room I want— I don't knock, I just exist, In the gap between your thoughts where you swear you don't get missed. Every pause is premeditated— poisoning what you hear, Paranoia blooming grey and I'm the gardener with the shears, Clipping roots beneath the surface while you water all your fears, By the time you smell the flowers it's a wreath and you're not here. (Snap) — My eyes see through you like an x-ray— every fracture, every fault, Lee's syllables stay in your skull long after I am gone. Seven letters on my tongue— I let it sit before I spit, By the time you feel the sting... I'm already out the zip. [Chorus] [rhythmic, mocking voice] -L.... is for the lines I write that cut before you feel em -E.... is for the exits that I counted while you were sleeping -E.... is for the energy I don't waste on explanation -T.... is for the timing and I promise mine is patient -H.... is for the haunting that begins after I'm gone -A.... is for the afterthought when you realize the damage done -L.... is for the last thing that you hear before the flood This is— LEETHAL— by the time you speak it it's in your blood. [Verse 2] [Aggressive sassy rap, high-pitched, childlike bite, faster flow] Call it paranoia, call it pattern recognition— sweetheart. I was counting exits in the room before the beat could start. You mistook the silence for a gap? That's the trap I'm building, Every pause between my bars is calculated for the killing. (Listen) — Not the loud one— I'm what you feel before the riot, That uncomfortable pressure when the room just got quiet. Cruelty is just a word— but push it through the speaker, Watch it flip from words you spell to poison getting deeper. Blind and deaf— the moment turned to shit, Whole world's got an opinion but nobody heard a bit. (Check.) You were learning rules, I wrote the game and switched it while you're reading, Now you're holding outdated instructions— looking lost and bleeding. Short fuse on the mine and every spark is my decision, Every bar is ticking down toward a surgical incision. Role assigned and scene is set, the camera's on— so don't you flinch, I'm the aftertaste you can't identify... but feel with every inch. (Byeeeee) — [Chorus] [rhythmic, mocking voice] -L.... is for the lines I write that cut before you feel em -E.... is for the exits that I counted while you were sleeping -E.... is for the energy I don't waste on explanation -T.... is for the timing and I promise mine is patient -H.... is for the haunting that begins after I'm gone -A.... is for the afterthought when you realize the damage done -L.... is for the last thing that you hear before the flood This is— LEETHAL— by the time you speak it it's in your blood. [Outro] [Fade Out, whisper] Everybody plays a role... Leethal wrote the play...
