Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm, I'm on my third life, looking at a razor knife
This nightlight got me through my childhood
Take this long route, hoping they don't see me fit in to the crowd
[PreChorus]
See, I'm always in fear they will appear
Pushing me down, yell in my ear
"You will never amount to anything"
"You should be afraid of everything"
Young boy, you're erasing and editing
Checking 'round corners and looking ahead of me
What if they hurt me or what if they get me?
Spent my lifetime readying and prepping
[Chorus]
Like a wet steel to the knife
Like a bright light to the night
Like a kill switch to your life
I hope you think twice
I don't play it nice
Open up, surprise
[Verse 2]
I'm, I'm on my sixth life, looking at a razor blade
This high life, thank you to my neighborhood
This long route taught me to be strong and rise above the crowd
[PreChorus]
Always in fear they will appear
Pushing me down, yell in my ear
"You will never amount to anything"
"You should be afraid of everything"
Young boy, you're erasing and editing
Checking 'round corners and looking ahead of me
What if they hurt me or what if they get me?
Spent my lifetime readying and prepping
[Chorus]
Like a wet steel to the knife
Like a bright light to the night
Like a kill switch to your life
I hope you think twice
I don't play it nice
Open up, surprise
[Bridge]
All these years, this life I've chosen
All these tears, look how they've focused
Turn your face like you don't know it
But you can't say you don't notice
[Chorus]
Like a wet steel to the knife
Like a bright light to the night
Like a kill switch to your life
I hope you think twice
I don't play it nice
Open up, surprise
