(Verse 1)
I cat’log cracked tiles in a freezer aisle at closin’ (yeah, bruv)
Breath fog scribbles codes on glass, still I’m composin’ (skrrt)
Steel chair legs tap Morse in codes on a dented floor (oi)
I don’t ask for opinions, I just write what I store (mad)
(Verse 2)
My knucks map tension lines down by a grey drainpipe (rah)
Fake smiles get clocked quick, I don’t trust that type (skrrt)
Pocket watch glitchin’, moves off like it’s got no sense (yeah)
I skip meals, stay sharp, cut ties that don’t make sense (ugh)
(Chorus)
I stack my rules in boxes marked “handle carefully” (listen)
Too many man switch up quick, try patternin’ me (rah)
I log each glance, each shift, in files marked “conditional” (yeah)
Talk big online but in person they minimal (skrrt)
I pace square grids like I’m locked in my own system (oi)
Every new face gets scanned like I don’t miss ‘em (rah)
I track each favour owed, no charity, just balance (mad)
If it ain’t real loyalty then I bin the alliance (ugh)
(Chorus)
I stack my rules in boxes marked “handle carefully” (listen)
Same fake energy comes back eventually (rah)
I log each glance, each twitch, in files marked “conditional” (yeah)
No time for talkers movin’ funny, that’s critical (skrrt)
I pace square grids, no noise, just calculated (oi)
Too many fake man smile but they fabricated (rah)
I track each favour owed, no debts get forgotten (mad)
If you switch once, that line’s permanently rotten (ugh)
(Verse 3)
A broke radio chatters like it’s speakin’ nonsense (yeah)
I decode every bar, I don’t move off nonsense (bruv)
Jacket smells like bleach, loose change, cold cabbage pack (ugh)
I don’t beg for respect, I just take mine back (rah)
(Verse 4)
I test handshake pressure, see who’s really solid (oi)
Too much talk, no walk, I just archive and log it (rah)
Boot taps out rhythm like I’m countin’ my exits (skrrt)
Every fake interaction gets cut off, no edits (yeah)
