Outlaw In The Mirror

Lyrics
[Hook] Outlaw—step where I stand, the lights get nervous Iron-jawed calm, but the soul stays murderous Midnight surgeon—cut a beat till it’s wordless Stranger in the mirror wearin’ menace like a purpose Torchbearer—flames lick wider Footprints burn, every step a live wire Torchbearer—truth gets higher Ash on the wind spell my name in fire --- [Verse 2] Raised on red clay lessons—bible verse and rifle smoke Chewed gravel roads for breakfast, spit thunder when I spoke Mama said, “Son, you’re forged for storms, so keep your powder dry,” Now I rain on every stage till the amps begin to cry Mind built like scrapyards—sparks fly when the thoughts clash Grit under fingernails proof I never lost cash Snap-tongued, quick-witted, draw quicker than the flash does Metaphors swing heavy—jawbreaker for the half-buzzed I’m the fault-line hummin’ under poisons in their pipelines Make the ground split, swallow crowns, shatter hype lines Words drip crude—slick enough to drown a critic’s bite They write reviews; I write ruins lit by pistol light --- [Hook] Outlaw—step where I stand, the lights get nervous Iron-jawed calm, but the soul stays murderous Midnight surgeon—cut a beat till it’s wordless Stranger in the mirror wearin’ menace like a purpose Torchbearer—flames lick wider Footprints burn, every step a live wire Torchbearer—truth gets higher Ash on the wind spell my name in fire --- [Verse 3 – Rapid-fire Flip] No brakes when I barrel through—vocal Gatling, verbal shrapnel Chrome syllables ricochet, ricin in the apple I unravel algorithm guts, splice bars like gene edits Walk clichés to the gallows, let the rope teach ‘em ethics They microdose courage—I intravenous raw nerve I serve turbulence in verse form, shake the Earth’s curve Every cadence accelerant, every breath a lit match I leave mics quarantined—too much voltage in the patch Spit sawblades, split doorways, storm like foreplay Leave the crowd leanin’ sideways, jaws on floor stay Undeniable, unadvisable to test this wire— I’m the black-box note that survives your empire --- [Hook] Outlaw—step where I stand, the lights get nervous Iron-jawed calm, but the soul stays murderous Midnight surgeon—cut a beat till it’s wordless Stranger in the mirror wearin’ menace like a purpose Torchbearer—flames lick wider Footprints burn, every step a live wire Torchbearer—truth gets higher Ash on the wind spell my name in fire
