[Intro]
Found these tapes in daddy's garage
Hidden treasures wrapped in lies
Now my girl's recording all our time
Same shit, different disguise
[Verse 1]
Dusty boxes full of secrets that he tried to hide
Arabic melodies on cassettes kept on the side
Little Echo found the truth behind his father's pride
Now my shorty doing same shit, got me f*cked inside
Recording every moment when I'm spitting in the booth
Like those tapes were contraband, now she stealing all my truth
Manchester nights got me feeling so removed
Both of y'all taking pieces that I never meant to lose, damn
[Chorus]
Cassette burn, watch it melt away
All these secrets that we keep tucked away
Daddy's music and my girl's betrayal
Same old story just a different tale
Burn it all, let the plastic fade
All these memories that we tried to save
Hidden mic's just like hidden tapes
F*ck the truth when it comes too late
[Verse 2]
Growing up I thought those tapes were just another lie
Now I'm seeing patterns, shit keeps coming back to bite
Studio sessions feeling like a f*cking crime scene
Every word I spit, she's catching like it's meant to be
Underground vibes got me feeling paranoid
Every recording's just another void
Like father like lover, both collecting pieces of my soul
Got me questioning everything I thought I f*cking know
[Bridge]
Delete the files, burn the tapes
Can't trust nobody these days
History keeps repeating itself
Different faces, same old games
[Outro]
Found these tapes in daddy's garage
Now they haunting every page
Of this story that I'm living
Beautiful poison in my veins
