This is a banger called β€œSnake in the Grass” from the Lost Sessions album. Enjoy suckas!! [VERSE 1 β€” LOW FEMALE RAP, CONTROLLED AND CONTEMPTUOUS] You shook my hand with a loaded smile, Said you had my back, yeah, you stayed for a while. All in my business, all in my space, Whole lotta love with a knife in its place. Knew all my people, knew all my moves, Knew what to whisper and who to use. Never showed teeth, never raised your tone, Had a whole damn plan when you called my phone. I gave you a seat, you was eyein' the throne, Tried to sell my name like it wasn't my own. Played real sweet, but the math don't lie, You was countin' my losses while you stood nearby. [BEAT CUT β€” HALF BAR SILENCE] [PRE-CHORUS β€” TIGHT RHYTHMIC RAP] Don't need a gun just to take that shot, Don't need a match when the whole thing's hot. Some folks lie, some folks steal, Some shake your hand while they turn that wheel. [CHORUS β€” HARD RHYTHMIC FEMALE RAP HOOK] SNAKE IN THE GRASS! I HEAR YOU MOVIN'! SMILE IN MY FACE! WHILE THE KNIFE GOES THROUGH ME! SNAKE IN THE GRASS! I KNOW YOUR KIND! SAY YOU GOT MY BACK WHILE YOU'RE WORKIN' BEHIND! [808 DROPS OUT ON "BEHIND"] [SHORT DISTORTED BASS RESPONSE] [NO MELODIC POP CHORUS] [POST-CHORUS β€” COLD SPOKEN-RAP] Keep my friends close, Keep my enemies in sight. It's the ones that call you sister That'll cut you in the night. [INSTRUMENTAL β€” 4 BARS] [Dark piano loop, deep sliding 808, ticking hats] [NO VOCALS] [VERSE 2 β€” FASTER FEMALE RAP, TIGHT INTERNAL RHYMES] You played your part, wore a counterfeit face, Smiled in the picture, tried to take my place. Passed little stories when I wasn't around, Then acted surprised when they circled through town. Every favor had a fee, every promise had a catch, Every compliment you gave had a blade attached. You ain't stab me in the street, you ain't built like that, You just pulled at the floor while you smiled at my back. Had receipts, had dates, had names, had proof, Watched the whole little story come loose from the truth. You was loud with the loyalty, quiet with the facts, Now the same damn people bring your whispers right back. [DOUBLE-TIME RAP β€” DRUMS STRIP TO KICK AND HATS] No panic, no damage, no begging for peace, No drama, no trauma, just cutting you loose. You wanted a reaction, wanted me to explode, But I don't give a snake another inch of my road. [PRE-CHORUS β€” LOW, RHYTHMIC] Don't need a gun just to take that shot, Don't need a match when the whole thing's hot. Some folks lie, some folks steal, Some shake your hand while they turn that wheel. [CHORUS β€” HEAVY 808, AGGRESSIVE FEMALE DELIVERY] SNAKE IN THE GRASS! I HEAR YOU MOVIN'! SMILE IN MY FACE! WHILE THE KNIFE GOES THROUGH ME! SNAKE IN THE GRASS! I KNOW YOUR KIND! SAY YOU GOT MY BACK WHILE YOU'RE WORKIN' BEHIND! [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK β€” 8 BARS] [Sinister piano motif] [Deep 808 glides] [Rapid triplet hi-hat fills] [Distorted low brass accents] [NO VOCALS] [BRIDGE β€” NEAR-WHISPERED FEMALE RAP, COLD] Funny how the truth comes out When the whole room quiet. Funny how the loudest loyalty Never seem to buy it. I don't need revenge, I don't need a scene. I just know exactly What your friendship mean. [BREAKDOWN β€” ONLY SUB-BASS AND DRY FINGER SNAPS] [LOW FEMALE VOICE, DELIBERATE] I saw the tracks. I heard the sound. I watched you smile While you dragged me down. No more favors. No more trust. I know what crawls Beneath the dust. [BEAT STOPS COMPLETELY β€” ONE BAR SILENCE] [FINAL CHORUS β€” FULL BASS IMPACT, RAPID FEMALE DELIVERY] SNAKE IN THE GRASS! I HEAR YOU MOVIN'! SMILE IN MY FACE! WHILE THE KNIFE GOES THROUGH ME! SNAKE IN THE GRASS! I KNOW YOUR KIND! SAY YOU GOT MY BACK WHILE YOU'RE WORKIN' BEHIND! [FINAL REFRAIN β€” LOW, MENACING FEMALE VOICE] Snake in the grass... I know your kind... Snake in the grass... You were never on my side... [OUTRO β€” DRY SPOKEN-RAP, NO MUSIC FOR FINAL TWO LINES] You can keep the handshake. You can keep the smile. I know what you are. Just took me a little while. [FINAL INSTRUMENTAL β€” 4 BARS] [Detuned piano hook returns] [808 slides downward] [Hard abrupt tape-stop ending] [NO VOCALS] [END]
