From No Atheists In Foxholes2023

Lyrics

Flinch

[Intro: Locksmith]

Yeah, no matter what the world throws your way, just remember. You got this

[Chorus: Ekoh]

Ay, got a couple bands, I don't need you, Bitch (I don't need you bitch) (Flinch)

Ay, I been thrown into the flames, I don't even flinch (even flinch)

And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)

From the bottom's where I'm from

You must not know me at all, yeah (You must not know me at all)

On the top, I look around, I don't see you, Bitch (I don't see you bitch)

Do your best to knock me down

I won't even flinch (Flinch)

And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)

From the bottom's where I'm from

You must not know me at all, yeah

[Verse 1: Locksmith]

Yeah, Look at what I been through (Look!)

Take a closer peek, and focus deep and hope to reach the same heights I was meant to (Mеant)

When there's no mystiquе, and no retreat and no one left for you to speak

Where to vent to?

So you blamed yourself, and play it stealth and stay in your shell (What?)

Voices inside, they determined you'd fail (Ugh)

All while you stuck in this personal hell (C'mon!)

Numerous chances and constant advances (Woo!)

I got to the finish and thought I had made it (What?)

Just to be told it was further to go, to keep movin'

The bullshit is so complicated (Damn)

More than a decade, my mother had passed

Seemed like forever, the heart it could last (Last)

Never took time when I needed to grieve

And I needed distraction to keep me from leavin' (Woo!)

I'ma keep it positive

Every step is a operative (Woo!)

Every little misstep

A mistake, holdin' us hostages (Yeah!)

Never played the victim of victim when they depict 'em of anything, other than the strength I was born with

Never gave in to a forfeit

Even when broke, I was poor as shit

If I had to recoup, then I had to regroup

When I did, bounced back, I was more pissed

[Pre-Chorus: Locksmith]

From the project, section it, investigate

My fam got extra hate

Half black, I was told to suppress my fate

If you show weakness, it's extra bait (Yeah)

They takin' mine from a inch

Either you whip me, don't stride with defense

Been through the battle, gon' shatter the trench

Been through it all and I'm never gon' flinch!

[Chorus: Ekoh]

Ay, got a couple bands, I don't need you, Bitch (I don't need you bitch)

Ay, I been thrown into the flames, I don't even flinch (even flinch)

And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)

From the bottom's where I'm from

You must not know me at all, yeah (You must not know me at all)

On the top, I look around, I don't see you, Bitch (I don't see you bitch)

Do your best to knock me down

I won't even flinch (Flinch)

And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)

From the bottom's where I'm from

You must not know me at all, yeah

[Verse 2: Ekoh]

Yeah. probably would've gave up

But I already gave away everything that I love, tryna make some (Woo!)

Whatcha gonna do now? (Now)

I've been broke from the heart, to the soul, to the cash, and the council

It's not really gonna hurt much

When the rain now left in the tank by the fumes from the burnt love

Homies wanna turn up

Look who never turned up

Got a couple things that I learned, now (Ay)

Only roll solo to the bank (Woo!)

A few friends don't even know where I stay (Huh)

Got the blue checks hidden down below tryna hang

Tryna give me all that vision

But I know, play it safe

'Cause I been in it

'Bouta make it better

Thought I would never live

Believin' the people tryna tell me what I would never be

That energy eventually almost became the enemy

But fuck it, I will never be the quitter to my enemies

Went to detox and the rehab

Best friend got killed from his keys, then

Step-dad died further from a drink

And I had my heart broke on a verge of a relapse

Gotta leave that blood, sweat, and tears

On a page, 'cause that's all I got to give

You could hate on me but could never make it through all the shit I did

[Pre-Chorus: Ekoh]

Fire in the sky

Y'all don't wanna die

I got pieces that die all the time

Been to hell and back, kept the win intact

Never let you fucks knock me outta line

Homie disagrees, I ain't scared of shit

When he stood to lose, all you got and did

Then you're really free, only gettin' wins

Bring the best you got, I won't even flinch

[Outro: Ekoh]

Ay, got a couple bands, I don't need you, Bitch (I don't need you bitch)

Ay, I been thrown into the flames, I don't even flinch (even flinch)

And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)

From the bottom's where I'm from

You must not know me at all, yeah (You must not know me at all)

On the top, I look around, I don't see you, Bitch (I don't see you bitch)

Do your best to knock me down

I won't even flinch (Flinch)

And if you think I'm scared to fall (Scared to fall)

From the bottom's where I'm from

You must not know me at all, yeah (Must not know me at all)
