Own Boss Own Life

[Intro]

(Yeah)

(Talk that talk)

[Verse 1]

Flownight on the wire and the city knows my name

Every block I walk I collect a little flame

They pass the key around like I ever needed one

I kick the door off the hinge just to watch it come undone

Two men in the corner counting what I left behind

Cold as a window in a February mind

Queen on my shoulder whispering the score

Zero hesitation when I'm knocking on your door

[Chorus]

Own boss own life no permission slip

Own boss own life watch the whole thing tip

Say it loud say it proud let it ricochet

Nobody runs this city when I'm in the way

Own boss own life no permission slip

[Post-Chorus]

(Bow down)

(Bow down)

Say it twice for the ones who didn't hear

(Bow down)

(Bow down)

We don't fold we don't flinch we don't disappear

[Verse 2]

DJ Flow on the cut and the needle won't rest

Rewind the whole record put your nerves to the test

She moves calculated like a ledger in a vault

Untouchable and I don't take the blame or the fault

Mercy is a rumor that I never got told

I was built in the winter I was hardened in the cold

Now they map my habits like a storm they can't read

Step light step loud either way you bleed

[Chorus]

Own boss own life no permission slip

Own boss own life watch the whole thing tip

Say it loud say it proud let it ricochet

Nobody runs this city when I'm in the way

Own boss own life no permission slip

[Bridge]

Filter down low let the pressure build

Something in the silence that I never learned to kill

Hear it creeping hear it crawling up the wall

Flownight in the building and I'm taking it all

[Drop]

Own boss own life

Own boss own life

Nobody nobody nobody runs it

Own boss own life

Own boss own life

Nobody nobody nobody runs it

[Chorus]

Own boss own life no permission slip

Own boss own life watch the whole thing tip

Say it loud say it proud let it ricochet

Nobody runs this city when I'm in the way

Own boss own life no permission slip

[Post-Chorus]

(Bow down)

(Bow down)

Say it twice for the ones who didn't hear

(Bow down)

(Bow down)

We don't fold we don't flinch we don't disappear
