Cold-Blooded Ledger

[Verse 1]

Three phones, one buzz

That’s risk, not love

Notes on the fridge

A list of who’s cut

Cold eyes, calm jaw

I tally my scars

Streets did the math

I’m just raising the bar (uh)

Dead look, deadbolt

Steel heart, asphalt

If I said “sorry”

It came with a salt

I was down bad

Staring at a cracked screen

Now it’s quiet meetings

Talking in a backseat (shh)

[Chorus]

I keep a cold-blooded ledger

Line by line, I remember

Every slight, every pressure

Turn ’em all into treasure

I keep a cold-blooded ledger

Cross that name, feel the pleasure

Every loss, every measure

Pay me back, with the extra (with the extra)

[Verse 2]

Gray sky, gray smoke

Plates spin, I don’t choke

You pray, I plan

Big gap, no joke

I don’t chase status

I just chase leverage

Shake hands, smile thin

Then I check ledgers

Brown bag, zip tight

Whole year, one night

If I do dirt

Then I do it off-site (far)

Never said “trust”

I said “terms, sign here”

Icy little laugh

You can see your fear (ha)

[Chorus]

I keep a cold-blooded ledger

Line by line, I remember

Every slight, every pressure

Turn ’em all into treasure

I keep a cold-blooded ledger

Cross that name, feel the pleasure

Every loss, every measure

Pay me back, with the extra (pay me back)

[Bridge]

If I call, that’s grace

If I don’t, that’s fate

Two sides, one blade

Pick love or late

I don’t raise my voice

I just raise the stakes

Write your whole life story

In a margin space (yeah)

[Chorus]

I keep a cold-blooded ledger

Line by line, I remember

Every slight, every pressure

Turn ’em all into treasure

I keep a cold-blooded ledger

Cross that name, feel the pleasure

Every loss, every measure

Pay me back, with the extra (cold-blooded)
