let me ride

DPEND - $O $HARP

BWI$E ft DPEND - LAZY RAP$

Just ‘cause I call myself rplayin’...
Don’t mean I’m playin’...
Nah…

Just ‘cause I’m rplayin’ don’t mean I’m a player
Ain’t no lady slayer, I’m just the narrator
It’s a name for the stage, I present what I be
Like life’s just a script, and I spit it for free

I’m actin’ but real — in a world full of fake
You got glitter on truth, and lies in your wake
I’m no ruler, no crown, but I speak like a king
A ring don’t define what I bring to this thing

Order, not chaos — I stand where I must
If evil’s on top, then we all bite dust
Poetry dies when the demons win
So I write with fire and ink my sin

Now playin’... (uh huh)
On this stage I remain... (yeah)
No chains, no name, just flame... (brrr)
I protect the rose and the pain... (skrrt)
Pen in fist, that’s my blade... (blade)
Words that twist like fate... (twist)
I ain’t here to entertain... (nah)
I'm just rplayin’ the game...

I’m a thorn on the stem, got a reason to sting
Guardin’ the heart like a knight with a swing
I don't brawl with fists, I fight with bars
Paint my wounds in verses, shootin’ stars

Yeah, I dream past clouds in a restless bed
Where skies speak loud, and thoughts get fed
Life ain’t clean, it’s a filtered lens
But I still chase light where the shadow bends

Close your eyes if you wanna see
That pretty ain’t pretty, and ugly might be
The truth that shakes and breaks the mold
We hover like stars — never bought, never sold

Female Vocal
“Floatin’ through the static, voices in the haze,
Nothin’ really matters, I been lost for days…
Whispers in my head say run away…
But I stay, yeah I stay… I remain.”

“Night don’t sleep, and the light don’t change,
Tried to speak, but the words just fade.
All I got is this pain I paint…
But I stay, yeah I stay… I remain.”

We caught in the net...
Fish with wings… stars with breath
But our purpose...
Is to be different.
I remain.

“Jus’ call me... rrrrplayin’... (uhhh)”
“Ain’t no playerrrr... I’m just... sayin’...”
“Stage name... pain in the frame...”
“Life’s a script... and I’m still... in the... gaaaaaame...”

“Thorn on... tha rose... keep tha foes... froze…”
“Pen in my fist… I don’t throw... no blows…”
“Dreamin’... ‘bout better skies...”
“But... beauty lies... in ugly eyes...”

“Hoverin'... stars... caught... in the net...”
“We born... to be... diff’rent... don’t forget...”

“I... Remaaaiiinnnnnnn...”
“…n-n-n-nnnnn...”
