Fault Lines

[Intro] Fault lines underneath my feet Every step I take, I feel that heat Trust crumbling like tectonic plates Yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Thought we was solid ground, Derek Till you took my sound and wore it Like some second-hand clothes Now my whole foundation's broken, shit Used to call you brother, now I'm choking On the dust of what we built Remember Boston shakin', I was eight then Now my world's quaking, can't escape it Every friend I make, I hesitate 'Cause trust don't come the same, nah [Chorus] These fault lines run deep in my soul Cracks in the surface that I can't control Pressure building up, bout to lose control Everything I built just might fold These fault lines, yeah, these fault lines Got me second-guessing all these cosigns These fault lines, yeah, these fault lines Got me building walls just to feel fine [Verse 2] Used to share my drafts, my demos raw Now I keep 'em locked behind closed doors 'Cause snakes slide through the smallest cracks And turn your blueprint into their come-up track Shit ain't been the same since that day When I heard my flow on your new wave Like you thought I wouldn't notice But that shit was more than just a moment Restructured my whole foundation Now I move with hesitation Every collab feels like invasion Trust turned to devastation, damn [Bridge] Ground shifting underneath (yeah) Can't find solid ground to breathe (no) Everything I thought was real Just might break, just might break [Verse 3] Now I'm mapping out these danger zones Where friendship meets the unknown Studio sessions feel like quicksand Can't trust nobody with these quick plans Built my walls up earthquake-proof Keep my circle small, that's the truth Yeah, the tremors still remind me Of the day you tried to blind me But I rose up from the rubble Now I shine through all my trouble Yeah, these scars made me stronger But the aftershocks last longer [Chorus] These fault lines run deep in my soul Cracks in the surface that I can't control Pressure building up, bout to lose control Everything I built just might fold These fault lines, yeah, these fault lines Got me second-guessing all these cosigns These fault lines, yeah, these fault lines Got me building walls just to feel fine [Outro] Still feel the ground shake Every time I hear your name But I learned to navigate These fault lines in my brain, yeah
