Intro

Ignition tick, the dash lit up Seven little reasons keep the motor runnin hot

Verse 1

Six a.m. on 27th, the ventanita sellin steam Whole block runnin on a hunger that they never name Power for the ones who never had the say Respect like rent, you pay it, somebody still owe today Carol City don't sleep, it idle at the light Everybody chasin somethin they can't say out right Achievement look like a plaque or a paid-up lease Affiliation just a fancy word for who eat when you eat

Pre-chorus

So I count em when the night get loud Seven on my hand, I say em out

Chorus

Seven engines in my chest, I let em run, let em run Power, peace, and a name I can call when the day is done Freedom, somethin to be good at, somethin worth the sun Seven engines, that's the why, that's the why I don't run from none

Verse 2

Security a Publix bag taped up under the bed Rent due the first, the freedom cost twelve hundred instead I-95 northbound, brake lights like a vein Every car a different reason pushin through the rain Mama left a voicemail, didn't save the number, knew the sound Purpose got a face now, that's the part that hold me down The Palmetto merge, the Turnpike toll, the same toll on the chest Achievement just survival in a button-up and a press

Chorus

Seven engines in my chest, I let em run, let em run Power, peace, and a name I can call when the day is done Freedom, somethin to be good at, somethin worth the sun Seven engines, and not one of em I'm willin to outrun

Verse 3

Mirror in the Opa-Locka bathroom, fluorescent and cracked Which engine actually move me, which one just a act Power was a costume, mastery was the truth The pen never lied to me, even in the booth I wanted to be feared, really wanted to be heard Affiliation, not applause, the difference is a word So I cut the loudest motor, kept the one that hum And the quiet one was always the realest engine, son

Verse 4

Power try to drive me off the road on four-forty-one Clout a fast car with no brakes and a empty tongue I yanked the wheel, Lauderhill exit, killed the high beam Won't let achievement turn my mama to a magazine They sell you freedom in a contract you can't read Liberty City taught me free ain't a thing you concede So I fight the engine that was tryna run me dry Security ain't a safe, it's the people that ride or die Purpose call the bluff on every pretty lie Mastery the only one I let drive when I'm tired

Chorus

So I count em when the night get loud Seven on my hand, I say em out Seven engines in my chest, I let em run, let em run Power, peace, and a name I can call when the day is done Freedom, somethin to be good at, somethin worth the sun Seven engines, that's the why, and the why done already won

Verse 5

Lil cousin on the porch in Miramar askin me how I told him find your seven 'fore the world hand you how Don't let nobody name your engine for the views Power without a purpose just a louder way to lose Keep one for the people, keep one for the craft Keep one that's only yours and never tell em half Security the boring one, but boring keep you fed Now go and start your motor, said it slow so it stuck in his head

Outro

Ignition tick, the dash go dark Seven little reasons, all of em start
