[Intro ] Yeah—yeah, trap flame (Yeah) light it up, woo, skrt [808 slide] [hi-hat triplets] [Verse 1 — Origin / Grind] Pavement stories, pockets low, mama prayin' nightly Corner dreams, code of silence, move quiet, move tightly Brick-to-bill, hustle math, countin' scars with the receipts Triple threats — sweat, regret, but the heartbeat never sleeps Cold nights, warm stove, cookin' hopes in a thrift-store pan Nickel-to-a-dollar visions, turned a plan into a brand City neon blinkin', eyes trained on the skyline Backpack full of dreams, one step at a time Chains of debt, dodge the threats, learn the lanes, no remorse Stackin' lessons, chewin' stress, now we steer the course Snapbacks, map cracks, we blueprint from the bottom Trap flame on my chest, every loss made me blossom [Pre-Chorus ] Elevate — no pause, broke nights to applause Breathe slow — then go, light a match to the cause (Yeah) scars show, but we glow, keep the tempo controlled [hi-hat fill] [Chorus ] Trap flame — we don't fold (we don't fold) [ad-lib: woo] Neon nights, bankroll cold (bankroll cold) [ad-lib: skrt] Trap flame — we don't fold (we don't fold) Neon nights, bankroll cold [Verse 2 — Flex / Success] New whip, tinted glass, skyline in my rear view Pockets thicker, critics bitter, now they stare, too Chain heavy, mind steady, every move calculated From the stoop to the suite, see the city gotta wait, kid Pitched vocals chop — wins sound sweeter with the scars Lookin' at the ledger, I count moonlight and these bars Money talks in dialect, I speak fluent hustle Boardroom to the block, kept the muscle out the struggle Private flights, late nights, family meals on deck Old friends switched lanes, new ones check the check Pavement turned to palace, but I keep the recipe Trap flame in the attic, lit the roof, set the legacy [Pre-Chorus — Short] We rise — no lie, paid dues, paid the price We ride — bright lights, new rules, same fight [Chorus ] Trap flame — we don't fold (we don't fold) [ad-lib: yeah] Neon nights, bankroll cold (bankroll cold) [ad-lib: woo] Trap flame — we don't fold (we don't fold) Neon nights, bankroll cold [Bridge — Sparse Breakdown] [Minimal 808, soft piano stab, vocal chop] Call: "Who we?" Response: "Trap flame — who we?" Call: "Where we from?" Response: "Pavement to the game" [ad-lib: ha] Whispered: scars into stars, ashes into cars Echoed ad-libs: light it up — light it up — (light it) [Final Chorus — Layered / Call & Response] Trap flame — we don't fold (we don't fold) [ad-lib: ayy] Neon nights, bankroll cold (bankroll cold) [ad-lib: skrt, woo] Trap flame — we don't fold (we don't fold) [vocal chop loop] Neon nights, bankroll cold [Outro ] Light it up — let it burn, lesson learned [808 slide] Trap flame forever — bridge the hurt, claim the turn From the block to the throne, this the story that we told Trap flame — we don't fold (we don't fold) — light it up, glow cold [ad-libs fade: yeah, woo, light it up]
