Copperheads

Verse 1

Copperheads crawling up the fire escape

Midnight sweat dripping down my face

Got that hollow point rhythm in the MPC

Finger on the trigger, pocket full of decay

Feds tapping phones but we speak in code

Concrete jungle turning flesh to stone

Every shadow got a story that the pavement knows

Hit the gas hard, watch the rearview glow

Pre-Chorus

And they'll never catch the scent

Never find where the money went

Running through the maze that heaven sent

Heart of a lion, sins permanent

Chorus

Copperheads in the grass, can you feel the rattle?

Devil on my back but I won the battle

Blood in my cup, gotta shake the bottle

Night after night, watch the city swallow

Copperheads

Post-Chorus

Yeah, copperheads

Yeah, yeah, copperheads

Verse 2

Momma said the world ain't nothing but a gamble

Roll the dice hard, watch the table scramble

Shout out to the ones who never made it home

Your name's still tattooed on my microphone

I been stacking up the years like bricks in the wall

One foot in the graveyard, one in the hall

Can't kill a ghost, can't bury the sound

When the bass drops, watch 'em all spin 'round

Pre-Chorus

And they'll never catch the scent

Never find where the money went

Running through the maze that heaven sent

Heart of a lion, sins permanent

Chorus

Copperheads in the grass, can you feel the rattle?

Devil on my back but I won the battle

Blood in my cup, gotta shake the bottle

Night after night, watch the city swallow

Copperheads

Post-Chorus

Yeah, copperheads

Yeah, yeah, copperheads

Bridge

Fuck the fame, fuck the lights

I just need the 808s to bite

Serpent tongue but I speak it right

Born in the darkness, raised in the fright

Chorus

Copperheads in the grass, can you feel the rattle?

Devil on my back but I won the battle

Blood in my cup, gotta shake the bottle

Night after night, watch the city swallow

Copperheads

Outro
