Corner Store Creep

Lyrics

Verse 1
Five in the morning, still wide-eyed
Boots on the curb and the moon cut high
Store sign buzzin', same old lie
I don't sleep, I just drift by

Chains on my neck like a warning sound
Same two fools still run this town
Big talk loud, but they fold when it's down
I came from the block where the dogs all drown

I hear that siren in the distance fade
Couple bad choices in the shade I made
Hands in my pockets, but the plan still paid
I move like smoke when the lane gets paved

Pre-Chorus
Better back up, I don't play
Whole block tense when I say my name
Cold air bites and the bass still drains
One wrong move and it all go flames

Chorus
Night street, night street
I don't blink, I don't sleep
Night street, night street
Hear that bass in my teeth
Night street, night street
We go hard, we go deep
Night street, night street
Say my name when you see me

Verse 2
Black hoodie low and the stare too cold
Front porch boys with the mouths on gold
They want that smoke, but they can't hold
I been on my own since the drugs got sold

Pavement cracked where the footsteps match
Every bad bet got a price on that
One hand up when the lights go black
Then I cut through clean with the whole thing stacked

No peace here, just a pulse and grit
Every little grin got a blade in it
If I say go, then the whole crew hit
If I say stop, then the room goes split

Pre-Chorus
Better back up, I don't play
Whole block tense when I say my name
Cold air bites and the bass still drains
One wrong move and it all go flames

Chorus
Night street, night street
I don't blink, I don't sleep
Night street, night street
Hear that bass in my teeth
Night street, night street
We go hard, we go deep
Night street, night street
Say my name when you see me

Bridge
When the dawn crawl in, I stay the same
Got a wild little storm in my chest and brain
No soft talk, no clean slate
Just a quick hard grin and a locked-in fate

Final Chorus
Night street, night street
I don't blink, I don't sleep
Night street, night street
Hear that bass in my teeth
Night street, night street
We go hard, we go deep
Night street, night street
Say my name when you see me
