**[Intro – Eli The Vamp]** (ethereal pitched-down) Yeah… keep 'em close… closer… Smell the hate, still let 'em ride shotgun… Vampire hours, Rebel, turn it venom… **[Chorus – Both]** Keep your friends close (close) Enemies closer (closer, yuh) Knife in the pocket, smile on my poster (grr) They plot in the dark, I plot in they mirror Sip red, move slow, vanish like a whisper (vamp) Friends close, enemies closer Trust nobody, watch everybody One wrong move, love turns soldier Keep your friends close… enemies closer **[Verse 1 – Goose]** Street gospel, bible full of switches (bow) Rode with dawgs, now some snitchin' (snitch) Smilin' in my face, textin' opps my location Play dumb, let 'em think they run the operation Double cup, triple cross, quadruple check Snake in the grass right next to my neck You think you hidden? I see through the tint Vamp vision, red dots on your intent They hug tight, grip like cable ties Laugh at jokes while plottin' my demise Hug back harder, whisper "family forever" Other hand grippin' the Beretta (grrah) Love 'em like brothers, watch 'em like prey One slip, turn block to Judgment Day Circle small, traitors in frame Ones who hurt deepest know your real name **[Chorus – Both]** **[Verse 2 – Eli The Vamp]** (raspy mumble → rage ad-libs) Let 'em in the castle, gave keys to the crypt Now they tryna drain me while sippin' they drip Cross on my chain, blood on my lip Holy water tears when they flip the script Move like fog, you don't see the approach Heart cold, ice veins, never go rogue Smile with fangs, think they sharper than most Countin' lies like tallies on they throat Play nice, play close, play dead in the cut Let 'em think they winnin' while I load up the trust One slip, one text, one call Turn squad to ash hangin' on my wall Enemies closer so I taste the betrayal Friends get love, opps get the pale No beef, just extinction events Keep 'em close till I carve out they essence **[Bridge – Both]** They ride with you… Till bag get bigger… Till clout get thicker… Till knife get quicker… Keep 'em close… closer… Closer than your shadow at midnight… **[Final Chorus – Rage drop]** Keep your friends close (CLOSE!) Enemies closer (CLOSER!) Grrrah, bow, vamp life over! They plot, I watch, ghost in they Rover Sip red from opps, game over Friends close, enemies closer Trust nobody, watch everybody One wrong move, squad turn to supper Keep your friends close… enemies closer… (fade: closer… closer…)
