[Verse 1: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, cold precision] He films from the comments with a smirk on his face Says every hard bar is a model in place I send him the session with the takes laid bare Kick in one lane and my voice in the air He points at the breath like he caught me in fraud Calls it a render and he waits for applause I solo the take and I let the room speak Mid-bar I cough and the waveform goes weak [Pre-Chorus: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, tightening] He wanted a glitch he could screenshot and crown He got a human sound that dragged his whole theory down [Chorus: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, shouted, full chest] Pull the take, that cough is still mine Room mic honesty on a crooked line Call it a render, call it a trick Pull the take, that cough is still mine [Verse 2: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, breath hiss, a raw breath hiss alone for one bar, then the full drum kit crashes back on the cough] Hiss of the breath and the kit holds still Then the cough hits hard and the drums refill Chat goes quiet in a beautiful way Hater refreshes like the truth might decay I do not need choirs and I do not need proof Beyond the ugly air that still lives in the booth He came for a scalp and he left with a class Human is messy and it will not be passed [Chorus: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, shouted, full chest] Pull the take, that cough is still mine Room mic honesty on a crooked line Call it a render, call it a trick Pull the take, that cough is still mine [Bridge: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, listing takes] One for the kick and two for the snare Three for the cough that still hangs in the air Four for the comment that wanted a war Five for the flaw that kicked in the door [Verse 3: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, full force, hater stays a hater] He still says fake in the next little clip I still keep the cough on the master strip Not here to convert him or soften his hate Here to let the take shut the gate Phoenix night and a cheap little mic Ugly and honest and built for a fight Pull means more than a dare in a thread Pull means the breath that refuses the dead [Chorus: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, shouted, full chest] Pull the take, that cough is still mine Room mic honesty on a crooked line Call it a render, call it a trick Pull the take, that cough is still mine [Outro: Venom-tongued Phoenix male MC, loud, the last breath hiss rings out and fades] Pull the take That cough Is still mine [End]
