Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] Iron gate up, I climb the steps Loose change in my coat and a bitter respect Train blow past, shakes the glass I wrote my name in the dust, let the whole block pass Old payphone dead, still I stand there tough Same cracked sidewalk, same bad luck But I lace my boots like I mean that grin Every bruise on my face got a story in it Hand on the rail, cold as a grudge Third-floor window, I’m born in the sludge If you want the truth, I don’t dress it pretty I came from a room where the air felt gritty [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t no gloss on me Ain’t no loss on me I been low, still alive Watch me rise, watch me [Chorus] Basement cipher Basement cipher I speak it raw I speak it tighter Basement cipher Basement cipher Cold-cut bars From the wire to the fire [Verse 2] Corner deli glow on a paper bag meal I learned real quick what the silence reveals Moms in the window, chain on the lock I was counting my steps when the whole world stopped Now I flip that pain like a stack of cards Big talk don’t live in my neighborhood yards I got dry-bone courage, sharp-tongued grace And a stare that’ll set your whole plan in place They love the shine till the smoke gets thick Then I show up calm with a harder grip Low voice, mean line, clean execution Every verse I drop is a small revolution [Pre-Chorus] Ain’t no gloss on me Ain’t no loss on me I been down, still alive Watch me rise, watch me [Chorus] Basement cipher Basement cipher I speak it raw I speak it tighter Basement cipher Basement cipher Cold-cut bars From the wire to the fire [Bridge] I don’t chase the room I make the room adjust I got winter in my chest And a fist full of trust One mic, one path One scar, one vow If the city want a pulse I’m the one right now [Chorus] Basement cipher Basement cipher I speak it raw I speak it tighter Basement cipher Basement cipher Cold-cut bars From the wire to the fire
