​latch Lyrics by MAVI

shadowbox

2024

[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm back, baby
Fuck you niggas talking 'bout?
Yeah

[Verse]
My eyes move quarter time, my pupils quarter-sized, I'm lifted
I need endorphins, high if only for tonight, I'm injured
I set my core aside like fuck the source, cure my symptoms
Just got my sword and spine, the mission sort of lined up with them
I tried destroying mine to cleanse the boredom out my system
I sit at borderline of luring corpses out my sickness
I metamorphosized and made a course up out my trenches
I let the Lord decide if I would go or not and He sent me
I showed my mortal side and she was mortified, I wince still
I close the door sometimes, still go to war behind my sister
My head absorbent now, I try ignorin' sounds that I'm litty
Lay dormant, poor disguise, this shit mayoral now, it's my city
'Fore tourin', I hit brodie with a quarter pound, he up fifty
Even when a nigga's scorin', I'm assistin'
Six deep, a hundred forty rounds in our semis
Niggas know what come with noise around my city
Niggas can't talk about poise without my mention
Just another poignant mind poisoned by addiction
When I defeat one, another three come around grinnin'
Got my feet up and my fee up to contentment
Smell of weed smoke around cheapen sound of my wisdom
Got my reach longer, now redrawin' my limits
Cuts I reopen now, I'm squeezin' all of my lemons
Blood I leak on the ground creepin' up in my business

[Chorus]
Shit, was my one way to patch the debt
Ain't have nothin' to back the checks, I make love and I latch my chest
We stay hungry dodgin' the feds, was humble 'fore they could teach me
I starved my ego instead, unencumbered by my regrets
I stumbled into success, but really, I kicked in the door
My Achilles tore off my leg
Remember when I was pure but ain't have nowhere I could rest
I told her make sure she sure 'fore I never seen her again
Came knockin' just like before, but the hinges was all cement
I'm squintin' up at the score, wasn't sure this is what I meant
The spendin' tore another limb
Yeah, was my one way to patch the debt
Ain't have nothin' to back the checks, I make love and I latch my chest

[Outro]
Yeah, it's crazy, I swear to God
Like, today, I woke up
And I looked in the mirror and I was MAVI
And I was fucking MAVI
Haha, alright
