Ash (Remix).

[Verse 1] I came up where the paint peel slow Milk crates by the stoop, same old show Black bag on my back, whole block knew my name Hands full of nothing, but I walked like flame Mama said "boy, keep your eyes on the floor" I kept one on the gate and one on the door Now the hall got echoes when I move through town And every old face wanna ask how I sound I don't talk much, I let the scars read Ring on my knuckle from a bad seed Pockets got lint, but my head got plans And my heart stayed hard in a two-step stance [Pre-Chorus] Cold breath, hard stare I been there If you know, you know Don't go there [Chorus] Ash in my pocket Ash in my pocket Baby, I still walk it Baby, I still walk it (Stay low) stay low (Keep yours) keep yours (Ash in my pocket) (Ash in my pocket) [Verse 2] Late night shift, I was ghost in the rain Paper in my shoe, but I felt no shame Told that lie to myself just to make it through Now the truth hit back every time I move There was a room full of teeth and a cheap gold grin Hands in the air while the doubt walked in I took my cut, then I took my leave Left a small white mark on my sleeve She said, "Boy, you look too tired to run" I said, "I don't run, I just get things done" Now I sit real still when the world gets loud Same dark coat, but I'm holding my crown [Pre-Chorus] Cold breath, hard stare I been there If you know, you know Don't go there [Chorus] Ash in my pocket Ash in my pocket Baby, I still walk it Baby, I still walk it (Stay low) stay low (Keep yours) keep yours (Ash in my pocket) (Ash in my pocket) [Bridge] If I disappear, tell the block I tried Tell my old ghosts I ain't run and hide I learned that pain got a shape and a weight Still I step clean when I meet my fate [Chorus] Ash in my pocket Ash in my pocket Baby, I still walk it Baby, I still walk it (Stay low) stay low (Keep yours) keep yours (Ash in my pocket) (Ash in my pocket)
