Rust on the Mic

[Intro]

Yeah

Uh

Pull it over my head

[Verse 1]

Pull the cotton down past my eyes

Cold world waiting on the other side

Zip it to my chin and I disappear

Nobody knows my name in here

Shoulders squared up

Hands inside the sleeves

Mama told me keep my armor close

This fabric is the only thing I trust

Hood up

Head low

Let the whole block know

[Chorus]

Put my hoodie on

Put my hoodie on

Ain't nobody getting through

Put my hoodie on

Put my hoodie on

This is what I hold on to

[Post]

Hood up

Hood up

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Stitched seams holding all my ugly days

Threadbare cuffs from the fists I raised

Every stain a story that I keep

Every tear a promise I can't sleep

Rain hit the fabric and it rolls right off

Same way I let the talk slide

Same way I let the doubt drop

I ain't fragile

I ain't small

Watch me stand ten feet tall

[Chorus]

Put my hoodie on

Put my hoodie on

Ain't nobody getting through

Put my hoodie on

Put my hoodie on

This is what I hold on to

[Post]

Hood up

Hood up

Yeah

[Bridge]

When they count me out I count my wins

When they shut the door I climb the fence

Pockets full of nothing but I'm rich

Rich in stubborn

Rich in grit

[Chorus]

Put my hoodie on

Put my hoodie on

Ain't nobody getting through

Put my hoodie on

Put my hoodie on

This is what I hold on to

[Post]

Hood up

Hood up

Yeah

Hood up

Hood up
