Snake in the Grass

[Verse]
Whispers in the dark, tongue sharp as a dagger
Fake smiles flashin', but your vibe's a stagger
You creeping low, but the shadows know
Truth spillin' quicker than a soda overflow
Double-cross moves, you fumble the play
Caught slippin’, now you got dues to pay
Snakeskin shine, but it sheds so fast
Got no future when you live in the past
[Prechorus]
You slither, you shiver, your lies start to wither
Truth cuttin' deep, no bandage or scissors
[Chorus]
Snake in the grass, thought you'd outlast
But the clock ticks fast, your moment won’t last
Snake in the grass, shedding that mask
But the truth comes first, and you always dead last
[Verse 2]
Your crew's hollow, echoes in a canyon wide
Betrayal's a seed, now it blooms inside
Tried to play king, but the throne ain’t yours
Game of thrones over, now the lions roar
Mirror on the wall, show your true reflection
But all I see is cracks, no perfection
Built on lies, like a house of sand
One wave crashes, you lose your stand
