Currency of Skin (versie 2)

Verse

Cardi on my wrist, but the city's the real currency

Corner store light flicker like it know what I'm coming for

Girl from three buildings over cut me through the smoke like laser

Money in my pocket just a temporary heartbeat

Every step I take is interest on the debt

Chorus

Currency of skin, currency of skin

Moving till the whole block turn to gold again

Hands up catchin' rain, hands up catchin' rain

Currency of skin's the only thing that never run dry

Currency of skin, currency of skin

Every move I make is interest on what I been in

Verse

Chain rattling soft like a key that still fits the lock

Neighborhood got a language only the corners talk

Your shadow cross mine slow like you measure every beat

Block's got its own math, ain't nobody gettin' rich too cheap

I trade my tempo for the room that lean in closer

Chorus

Currency of skin, currency of skin

Moving till the whole block turn to gold again

Hands up catchin' rain, hands up catchin' rain

Currency of skin's the only thing that never run dry

Currency of skin, currency of skin

Every move I make is interest on what I been in

Bridge

Gold ain't gold when you hold it, gold's the rhythm we keep

Corner light don't shine for free, somebody still asleep

I'm not chasing dough if dough could buy this vibe

This my investment, this is how I stay alive

Chorus

Currency of skin, currency of skin

Moving till the whole block turn to gold again

Hands up catchin' rain, hands up catchin' rain

Currency of skin's the only thing that never run dry

Currency of skin, currency of skin

Every move I make is interest on what I been in
