Intro
Yo, I peep the vibe, stay patient, deadass Corner store mirrors show who's sus, no cap Movin' like chess on the train, no talkin' If it ain't guap, bet, I'm ghostin', off it
Pre-chorus
I check the room, then step, facts They showin' hands, I don't even bet Lil head-start flip to a check
Chorus
Before the bell ring, I already won I set the play, now you gotta run Before the bell ring, I already won You swingin' air, I'm already done
Verse 1
Peepin' habits, they flex online but passive in person I know my bag, what I can't risk, word Don't hit straight, slide where it's open Show me strength, I dodge the moment Lil cracks, that's my in, sus moves jokin'
Pre-chorus
I check the room, then step, facts They showin' hands, I don't even bet Lil head-start flip to a check
Chorus
Before the bell ring, I already won I set the play, now you gotta run Before the bell ring, I already won You swingin' air, I'm already done
Verse 2
Learned in the lobby, not class, deadass They talk big, fold fast, no static Keep it low, no captions, just plans Link for the move, not vibes gettin' trapped Speed over muscle, feint then dip Two steps ahead, you late to the spot Stack small wins like rent, make sense
Verse 3
Deception tools, not evil, bet Look left while I slide the move Feed a story, you chase, get tired Burn energy fightin' shadows Who ate, who slept, that's real Head straight when day drag late Discipline beat clout barkin' Messy squad crash itself out
Bridge
Drained from wins takin' long, nah When up, I dip quick, gone Chokepoint, sightline, use the block Timin' like train doors lock
Verse 4
Seen crews drop from inside pride No code, everybody got ego, static One say go, one nah, now crash Clear rule keep it from foldin' Morale like phone, die you stuck Rest sharp when pressure double Terrain work for me, distance weapon Let ego hurt, I stack
Chorus
Before the bell ring, I already won I set the play, now you gotta run Before the bell ring, I already won You swingin' air, I'm already done
Verse 5
Pick plays with payoff, no drama chase Chasin' lift-off, study opp but don't live there Know when dip, when stand firm Move with fam, aligned, no games Adapt quick if shift, I shift too Close clean 'fore it cost you
Outro
Before loud, I'm set, facts Don't need chaos for respect Before the bell ring, I already won Let that phrase run, let it run
Inside the recording
Yo, I peep the vibe, stay patient, deadass Corner store mirrors show who's sus, no cap
I check the room, then step, facts They showin' hands, I don't even bet
Before loud, I'm set, facts Don't need chaos for respect
