Grain and Gate

Intro

Yeah

Uh

Scratch that up

Bring it back

Chorus

Spitting salt from the back of my throat

Spitting salt

Every word that I say leave a coat

Spitting salt

Tongue like a razor

Teeth like a gate

Spitting salt

I don't water it down

I don't soften the taste

Spitting salt

Verse 1

Came up out the basement

No handshake no invitation

Every bar got a grain in it

Cut deep leave a stain in it

I been grinding since the dial tone

Now they dialing when the check grown

Cold shoulder in the cold room

Now they sweating when the phone boom

Pre-Chorus

I ain't here to make it easy

I ain't here to make it sweet

If the truth come out bitter

Then the bitter come free

Chorus

Spitting salt from the back of my throat

Spitting salt

Every word that I say leave a coat

Spitting salt

Tongue like a razor

Teeth like a gate

Spitting salt

I don't water it down

I don't soften the taste

Spitting salt

Verse 2

Big talk from a small town

Watch it crumble when I walk round

They was laughing in the cheap seats

Now they quiet when the beat speaks

Took the long road

Took the hard way

Kept my name clean

Kept my scars straight

You can keep your little crown

I'll be busy burning ground

Pre-Chorus

I ain't here to make it easy

I ain't here to make it sweet

If the truth come out bitter

Then the bitter come free

Chorus

Spitting salt from the back of my throat

Spitting salt

Every word that I say leave a coat

Spitting salt

Tongue like a razor

Teeth like a gate

Spitting salt

I don't water it down

I don't soften the taste

Spitting salt

Breakdown

Rinse it

Rinse it

You can't rinse it out

Rinse it

Rinse it

You can't rinse it out

Say it

Say it

Say it loud

Bridge

Hold the line

Hold the line

Every scar is a signature

Every scar is a signature

Hold the line

Hold the line

I ain't signing nothing different

Ain't signing nothing different

Chorus

Spitting salt from the back of my throat

Spitting salt

Every word that I say leave a coat

Spitting salt

Tongue like a razor

Teeth like a gate

Spitting salt

I don't water it down

I don't soften the taste

Spitting salt
