I came from the seam in the floorboards raw
Cold hand on the handle I don't knock I claw
Palm full of smoke from the day I outlast
Bones on the edge and I'm still moving fast
They said I would fold I said"watch me"instead
Kept a black little ledger of the names in my head
Every line got a debt every debt got a grin
I don't beg for the door I just wear it down thin
Black ledger black ledger
I keep my score in the dark
Black ledger black ledger
Every scar got a mark
Black ledger black ledger
I don't fold I don't bend
Black ledger black ledger
I remember my end
Let it breathe
Then hit
Two-step through the pressure I slide through the storm
Tongue like a blade and the hunger got form
Name in the dust but the dust stayed loyal
Turned every cold night into something royal
I don't need a parade I need silence and speed
Need a clean little angle and a strong little seed
Let it crack let it split let the weak talk loud
I'm a hard little thunder in a blood-thick crowd
Black ledger black ledger
I keep my score in the dark
Black ledger black ledger
Every scar got a mark
Black ledger black ledger
I don't fold I don't bend
Black ledger black ledger
I remember my end
Now the room go still when I step in frame
Got a slow-burning rage with a one-word name
Counted out counted in I don't lose my thread
I was made in the fire never made to be fed
So I write what I live every cut every climb
Every bad little hour turned into a rhyme
If they ask what I am tell them easy tell them plain
I'm the last thing you see when the night takes shape
Black ledger black ledger
I keep my score in the dark
Black ledger black ledger
Every scar got a mark
Black ledger black ledger
I don't fold I don't bend
Black ledger black ledger
I remember my end
