[Verse 1: Nate Nics]
Maybe there's a reason
Maybe it's a blessing that my only curse is breathing
Still ain't learn my lesson I been holding back this beating in my chest
Unless I see a strategy is needed
Been defeated but
I swear I feel my feelings, I am not scared
Promise I won't drop unless I stop being
Mr. Too Respectful, how I got here
Y'all won't understand until I'm not here!
Maybe I'm just passing along
And the fact that I rap ain't a factor at all
Lost a lotta niggas through the cracks in the walls
Manic in my panic thoughts flashing fast
Got me floating to the surface with my casket in haul
Would I even notice if you blasted us off
I ain't tryna dip like my pops while they pop shit
What's a pop hit if I ain't popping at all
[Hook: Nate Nics & Zhyaire Lee]
Something in the blood (ancient blood)
Something in the air tonight (something in the air tonight)
Something in the water (I've known rivers)
Something in the air (something in the, something in the)
Something in the blood (ancient blood)
Something in the air tonight (something in the air tonight)
Something in the water (I've known rivers)
Something in the air (something in the, something in the)
It's something in the blood
[Post-hook: Nate Nics]
Something in the air
I look in the mirror I don't recognize the man
Ain't no going back I can taste it in my tears
Pungent, I can smell it and I'm drawn to the scent
Yeah I'm drawn to the scent, something in the air
Sharks in the water and the blood flows near
Ain't no turning back once I face another fear
I look in the mirror, I don't see nobody there
I don't see nobody
I don't see nobody
Yeah
[Verse 2: Nate Nics]
Pondering and pandering, intangibles wrestle
In my head, ahead of curves. Undeserving of medals
But settled
Feel I'm more than just mind inside of a vessel
Dissatisfied in my ways, overqualified on my level
But pride aside, I dream of islands and planets
Ain't no hope in romantics, future black as my ankle
Back when I shrouded the damage
All to prove I could manage
Prove to who's precisely why sleuthing been causing my panic
Yo, I been calm under worse, I lost sisters and fathers all to the gift of my curse
Seen the hatred I gave them shooting my way in reverse
Taught that hate's for the layman, the layman's
The vagrant even while patience is fading
Quick in the teachers and saviors
Bite your tongue if you think to say it
Love is what we convey but that love is only for show, though
I hope, I'll salvage part of what made this world in my palm
Pin and label me favorite, I'm tired of waiting
Sheesh

Something in the blood (ancient blood)

Something in the air (something in the, something in the)
Something in the blood (ancient blood)
Something in the air tonight (something in the air tonight)
Something in the water (I've known rivers)
Something in the air (something in the, something in the)
It's something in the blood

Ain't no turning back once I face another fear
I look in the mirror, I don't see nobody there
I don't see nobody!
