You Think You Know Me - "Synks"! 💯

[Intro]
You think you know me.
Yeah!
You think you know me.
Huh!

[Verse 1]
Florida sun melts the road,
but I stand on this corner like it’s the only thing still holding me up.
Bare feet on hot asphalt — people think it’s pain.
Pain?—Nah!
Heat is easy.
Easy!
Life’s the hard part.
You saw me by the station,
shiftin’ from foot to foot like I was shy to walk in barefoot.
Man… that wasn’t shame.
No way!
That's just the act we do out here.
Everyone’s got a role — mine just happens to hurt a little more.
For real!

[Hook]
You think you know me.
Yeah—right!
You think you know me.
Say what!?

[Verse 2]
You left your sneakers by my side.
Ayy!
Didn’t ask my name.
Didn’t ask my story.
I looked at you once and said “synks.”
Synks!
That’s all the breath I save for kindness.
Words don’t last long out here —
they melt faster than the soles of my feet.
Check that!
I took your shoes.
Gone!
Sold ‘em before the next red light.
Quick flip!
Obvious move.
Obvious world.
Bare feet get more attention than brand-new sneakers ever will.
That’s street math.
Cold!
The only kind I still trust.

[Instrumental Break — dark electropunk, heavy industrial bass, glitch hits]

[Verse 3]
But nobody really knows
why a man steps off the road in the first place.
Hold up!
Maybe it was one bad night.
Maybe!
Maybe it was a thousand small ones.
Maybe it was the moment I realized
the world kept walking
and I didn’t need to follow.
Mm-hm… yeah.

[Outro]
You think you know me.
Dead serious!
But nobody really knows
the guy who stepped off the road once…
and never bothered to step back.
Never!

[Final hook]
You think you know me.
Yeah—right!
You think you know me.
Say what!?
