Lyrics

[Intro]

Cameras in the ceiling

Red dots in the dark

They watching every footstep

Still can’t measure heart (nah)

[Verse 1]

Got a file, got a folder with my government

They rewind every rhyme like it's evidence

From the stairs in the projects to the precinct

I been dodging all they lenses, I’m a sequence

Cold glare from the cops in the Crown Vic

Hands shake on the pen but the mind slick

Ascend through the cracks in the pavement

Turn a stop-and-frisk to an awakening (yeah)

Hit the corner, see the ghost of my old self

Locked eyes with the boy on the broke shelf

Told him, “You ain’t just a number on a mugshot”

You the echo when the steel door unlocks

[Chorus]

I was caught up

In the glare, in the grid, under orders from the watchtower

Now I rise up

From the ash, from the bids, from the long, lonely hours

From the handcuffs straight to the stars, I’m lit

Surveillance on, they recording the shift

Rap god talk, every bar, every breath

Turn oblivion into one more step

[Verse 2]

Fast flow, that Fausto on the back block

Trade a little peace for the jackpot

Signed in blood, now the clause feel toxic

Every blessing got a shadow in the mosh pit

Midwest grind in my teeth, got the corn dust

East side edge in my speech, never worn plush

Hippie dream with a gangsta little outlook

Stardust on the sneaks where the chalk stood

Transcend past the task force and task list

Every charge that they draft, I redact it

If they tap this line, let ‘em hear hope

Every tap on the wire is a lifeboat (woo)

[Chorus]

I was caught up

In the glare, in the grid, under orders from the watchtower

Now I rise up

From the ash, from the bids, from the long, lonely hours

From the handcuffs straight to the stars, I’m lit

Surveillance on, they recording the shift

Rap god talk, every bar, every breath

Turn oblivion into one more step

[Bridge]

They tracked my walk

But they missed my soul

They logged my calls

But can’t cage this glow (nah)

From the back of the car to the back of the club

I was breaking those chains with a mouth full of mud

[Chorus]

I was caught up

In the glare, in the grid, under orders from the watchtower

Now I rise up

From the ash, from the bids, from the long, lonely hours

From the handcuffs straight to the stars, I’m lit (to the stars)

Surveillance on, they recording the shift (let ‘em record)

Rap god talk, every bar, every breath (every breath)

Strong ending:

I’m the file they can’t close, I’m the one left (yeah)
