[Intro] One more take. Nah, keep it. That sounded wrong... but it sat right. Silky Smooth. Run it. [Verse 1] I read that draft till the clean scheme gleams Need speed, beat bleeds through the mean machine Weak seams split when the kick hits mean Wrong sound slips, now the whole mix leans Can’t breathe, chest pressed, pen gets tense Red mess, dead ends, edits get bent Stress threads sense through the sentence fence Break gets blessed when the bars stay dense I lead that hook, made the red room bleed Dead mic, dread bite, drums in my head Wrong sound dragged what the right line said Silk got stitched through the fault line spread Tear in the take, bare strain in the phrase Snare flares, air thins, pain wears glaze Wrong word slid till the silk took shape Mistake moved smooth, now the track sounds draped [Pre-Chorus] Fix? nah. Clip? no. Shit hits clean let the bad take glow. [Chorus] Sounds off Still smooth Wrong word Right groove Sounds off Silk move Bad take Fire proof Sounds off Still smooth Wrong word Right groove [Adlibs] wrong sound right rhyme silk slip on time [Verse 2] I tear through the page till the clear chain clears Near miss, weird switch, still sharp in my ear Rip line flipped, made the thin seam steer Wrong slice stitched what the right hand feared One minute late, but the cute loop grooves Mute room moves when the blue light blooms Loose screw truth in the booth breaks through Small time turned huge when the wrong note flew Minute little flaw with a big bite fit Quick click tick when the tight drums hit Thin pin prick made the slick line split Tiny thing swings like a heavyweight kick This live take, no fix in the mix Bit-crushed grin when the bad word hits Pitch glitch flips, then the whole room lifts Wrong mouth made what the clean mouth missed [Chorus] Sounds off Still smooth Wrong word Right groove Sounds off Silk move Bad take Fire proof Sounds off Still smooth Wrong word Right groove [Adlibs] wrong sound right rhyme silk slip on time [Bridge] Wind through the wire, signed line shines Fine grind rides through the tight-timed spine Air should move, but the rhyme chose wind Wrong breeze froze, made the hook line climb Project on deck, wreck check connects Left brain stressed while the right hand flexed Plan got bent where the bass line checks Bad aim made what the bounce protects Record that take till the red light cracks Flat fact trapped in the playback glass Record spins cold when the wrong one lands Whole flaw turns silk in the maker’s hands [Breakdown] No mistakes. Just takes. Wrong sound. Right rhyme. Bad take. Still smooth. Off beat. Still mine. [Spoken] Bruv, it’s wrong... but it’s cold. [Final Chorus] Sounds off Still smooth Wrong word Right groove No mistakes Just takes Bad take Still smooth Sounds off Still smooth Wrong word Right groove [Outro] wrong sound right rhyme silk slip on time sounds off Silky Smooth
