Lyrics
Intro
Boot scrape concrete. Match strike.
Verse 1
Dust under my nails from basement grind
I seen coke flip a sharp mind blind
Seen homies swear they fine
Till the habit crossed the line
White powder in a folded bill
Heartbeat racing, jaw gone still
They call it thrill
I seen it kill
Back hallway, dim bulb swing
Promoter laughing, diamond ring
While some kid sniff before he sing
Thinking that’s the edge he bring
Hook
Roll One & Chill, steady breath
Not dancing with death
Gelato Glow Records built from sweat
Not regret
Slow burn over fast demise
Open eyes
We analyze
Before we rise
Verse 2
I tried temptation once or twice
Felt my chest beat out of sync
Didn’t feel like paradise
Felt like standing on a brink
Seen a man lose thirty pounds
Eyes sunk deep, no solid ground
Still claiming he profound
While his world collapse around
I ain’t glamorizing vice
I’m exposing the price
You don’t get it back twice
When you roll those dice
Bridge
Guitar scrape like warning flare
Kick drum punch through stale air
Reality unfair
But we aware
Verse 3
Independent, no chemical crutch
No false rush
No powder hush
We don’t touch
Gelato Glow Sessions built durable
Not disposable
Or controllable
Just formidable
Outro
Dust stay under skin
But we don’t give in
We discipline
