[Intro: Sample – Warped VHS Clip, Southern Drawl]
“A man don’t fear death…
‘til he look in the mirror and don’t see nothin’ starin’ back…”
[Low static hisses, beat creeps in — slow, sub-heavy Memphis loop]
⸻
[Verse 1: $lick Sloth ($crim)]
Cold hands grippin’ on the wheel of a hearse
Life in reverse, every blessing cursed
Ash in my lungs, still breathin’ in spite
Soul long gone, he didn’t put up a fight
Clip full of silence, brain full of static
Pain in the rearview, look cinematic
Digits on my grave, carved in advance
Fate in my lap like I’m givin’ it a chance
⸻
[Hook: $lick Sloth]
No pulse, no light, no fear
Staring at the sky with a flat-line leer
I don’t cry, I just rot through the year
Buried in the smoke, can’t see, can’t steer
⸻
[Verse 2: Ruby da Cherry]
Silver chains, dead weight, I don’t elevate
I just levitate through the void when it resonates
Blood on the leaves and my boots in the grave
If I said I was fine, I was lyin’ to your face
I been sleepin’ with the scythe, writin’ poems in a curse
They all smile in my face, but it only makes it worse
Coffin in the trunk, just in case I need a bed
I been textin’ death back, “Seen” — left on read
⸻
[Hook: Ruby da Cherry]
No light, no faith, no thrill
I was born with a blade and a will
Blood on my boots, dirt on my fate
Keep the flowers — I bloom in the hate
⸻
[Outro: Sampled Loop – Fading & Distorted]
“Ain’t no mercy in the mirror… just a face I don’t know…”
[looped 3x, each time slower, then fades to static]
