Ice in My Veins

Intro

(ha) skrrt, ayy

Cold moon, colder moves, yeah

(uh) yuh

Verse

I walk where the pavement holds its breath, concrete sermons

Fingers in my coat, got pocket sermons, check the vermin

Night keeps the ledger, I sign with a grin, ink that hurts me

Counting unpaid dues and unused chances, I learn silently

Glass on the dashboard, I trace a map with a thumb

Rearview full of ghosts I never met but still succumb

Tightrope on the sidewalk, every step a tight line

Smile like a cipher, teeth sharpened for the skyline

They think I'm risk-averse — nah, I'm risk- precise

I gamble with my silence, stack my vice like dice

Wires hum low, got static in the marrow (skrrt)

Midnight is currency, spend it on the narrow (ayy)

I move with the calm of someone who rehearsed pain

No drama, just method — cold art, no stage rain

Promises like paper boats sink before the bridge

Trust is a locked book, I keep the key on a ridge

Names in my ledger, none of them read like friends

Only partners, only plans, only means to an end (yuh)

Clocks try to chase me but I slide past the hour

Practice made the predator, patience made the power

Tongue like a razor, my laughter is a hush

I smoke out the light, let tension build and crush

Foot on the pedal, smell of ozone and leather

Wind writes the chorus while I sign the ledger (skrrt)

Chorus

Ice in my veins, I move like a ghost (ice in my veins)

Ice in my veins, I move like a ghost (ice in my veins)

Ice in my veins, I move like a ghost (ice in my veins)

Ice in my veins, I move like a ghost (ice in my veins) yuh, ayy

Verse

Stacking quiet victories like bricks behind the door

Every step calibrated, never rush what I swore

I engineer exits from rooms full of vultures

Smile like a ledger, every grin hides sutures

They worship the thunder, I study the lightning

Learn the way it bends, when to strike, when to frighten

Cold coffee, cold contacts, cold calls at dawn

I keep my mouth to the wind, let rumors do the con

Barbed wit, painted calm, I carry the hush like armor

When the pressure gets loud I answer with a palm, calmer

I speak in small sentences that carry big storms

Two syllables, one move, watch it perform

Whispers ain't my language — murmurs feed the fuel

I write with a blade, leave margins sharp and cruel

Money's a mirror, shows the angles of the face

Some people chase fame, I map out a safer place

Where silence is currency and exit lanes are wide

Where every ally knows the price and tucks pride aside

I fold my past like paper, keep it flat in my pocket

No flames, just ash, and the ash never rockets

I learned the math of betrayal, subtraction by design

Add the right numbers, you walk out on time (skrrt)

Last laugh belongs to the one who plans the scene

I play the chessboard cold, kings bow to the queen

Heartbeat like a metronome under midnight's coat

I move, they talk, I vanish — no antidote (ayy, yuh)

Chorus

Ice in
