[Intro] (Yeah) Step in the ring Lace up, tape tight Clock ticking loud Under bright white lights [Verse 1] They call me Smoking Joe Jaw made of concrete Name in their mouth Ash on they front seat Talk cheap, I tax that Every loose word get snapped back You a hashtag I’m a whole war with a flashback Came from the holes in the wall Where the paint peeled off in the hall Now I write my name on the sky In a size you can read from a fall Who really want smoke with a furnace? Who really want teeth on the curb? You rappers all talk in a circle I’m walking straight lines through your nerves [Chorus] I’m Smoking Joe Make the whole block shake when I land that blow You can talk real slick But you still too slow Ring that bell, I go, I go (yeah) I go, I go Every word heavy like a hook to the throat If you step in my lane That’s a TKO Say my name, say my name Smoking Joe [Verse 2] Cold stare, that stone face You folding in round one Big heart, no home base I’m living on outcome You fake tough with a phone in your hand I’m face to face, stand where you stand I make a rumor retire I put a lie in the sand Left jab in the cadence Right cross in the cadence You praying I miss in the moment I’ve been training with patience Put pressure on pressure Double it, triple it, stretch ya I’m the storm in your playlist Every play is a lecture [Chorus] I’m Smoking Joe Make the whole block shake when I land that blow You can talk real slick But you still too slow Ring that bell, I go, I go (woo) I go, I go Every word heavy like a hook to the throat If you step in my lane That’s a TKO Say my name, say my name Smoking Joe [Bridge] Who want that Who want war Say it with your chest Not through a closed door Crowd on they feet Can’t feel the floor I don’t chase beef I just keep score (hey!) [Chorus] I’m Smoking Joe Make the whole block shake when I land that blow You can talk real slick But you still too slow Ring that bell, I go, I go (yeah) I go, I go Every word heavy like a hook to the throat If you step in my lane That’s a TKO Say my name, say my name Smoking Joe
