Intro
Yeah... They don't know what it cost They just see what it bought
Verse 1
Came from the mud, no cape, no savior Slept on the floor, now the floor marble Mama used to stretch a twenty for the week Now I stretch a hunnid just to park it Phone stay buzzin but I screen every call Half these numbers tryna set up my downfall Tinted windows, I don't wave back Same ones smilin' had the blade for my back Posted where they post you on the news at Young and reckless, what I got to lose? Facts
Chorus
No face, no case, I move like a ghost, like a ghost Keep the mask on, they don't need to know, need to know Came from nothin', now it's way too close, way too close Can't trust nobody, that's the life I chose, life I chose
Verse 2
Block got eyes, every corner got a lens Feds got tabs, every homie got a twin Switchin' lanes in a whip that ain't in my name Play it smart, never step inside the frame They want the fame, I just want the deposit Brick by brick, built it quiet, never flossed it Lost a dog to the system, free my brodie Lost a dog to the streets, rest in glory Keep a short list, long money, low voice Every move calculated, every word is a choice
Chorus
No face, no case, I move like a ghost, like a ghost Keep the mask on, they don't need to know, need to know Came from nothin', now it's way too close, way too close Can't trust nobody, that's the life I chose, life I chose
Verse 3
Four AM and the kitchen still runnin' Heart cold but the wrist stay stunnin' They gon' love you when you up, hate you more when you winnin' That's the game, play the hand from the beginning Dropped the top, let the wind hit my conscience God forgive me for the weight on my conscience Every scar got a story I won't tell Every bag got a body that won't sell Paranoia my companion since eleven Streets my professor, pain the only lesson
Bridge
They watchin'... they always watchin'... But they'll never catch what they can't see
Verse 4
Grandma prayin' that I make it out the static Told her Grandma, I'ma make it automatic Every dollar folded tight like origami Every opp that tried me turned into a hobby Silent moves, thunder results, no talkin' Dead phone, new number, keep walkin' If the walls could talk they'd take the fifth Every room I enter, I already planned the exit
Verse 5
Came too far to go back to the trenches Came too far to sit on park benches Self-made, no co-sign, no mentions Built the whole thing off of bad intentions And good decisions at the final second Life's a weapon and I learned to wield it No face, no case, that's the code I live by Die with secrets, never let 'em see you cry
Outro
No face... no case... Ghost... ghost... ghost... They'll never know... they'll never know...
Inside the recording
Yeah... They don't know what it cost
No face, no case, I move like a ghost, like a ghost Keep the mask on, they don't need to know, need to know
No face... no case... Ghost... ghost... ghost...
