Everybody's Got A Tell (Remix)

[Intro – low, close-mic] You don't have to tell me. Everybody tells eventually. [Verse 1 – controlled] You came in clean with a story pressed Every crease ironed out except Your eyes stayed still when your mouth moved first You learned the lines but forgot the nerves You said, “nothing”, half a beat too soon Truth don't rush to clear the room [Pre-Chorus] Your lips learned the lines Your pulse writes cursive Your silence volunteers More than your words did [Chorus - Layered Male Harmonies] Everybody's got a tell Yours is thinking nobody can tell Say it clean, sell it well Your mouth keeps the secret But your body tells [Instrumental Hook – 8 bars] [Verse 2 – cooler, more confident] You changed the time, the place, the name Forgot your face don't play the game The lie was picture-perfect Fingerprints still on the frame Your mouth took the fifth Your pulse took the stand [Chorus - Layered Male Harmonies] Everybody's got a tell Yours is thinking nobody can tell Say it clean, sell it well Your mouth keeps the secret But your body tells [Break – bass and drums] [Fast Rap – rapid, precise] You revised, rephrased, re-timed, rearranged Same four facts with the order changed First “I forgot,” then “I don't recall” Then “nothing happened” — loudest line of all No witness needed, no evidence bag Every clean answer leaves another red flag Your alibi's airtight — your pulse sprung a leak I don't need confession when your body speaks [Dead stop] That's the tell.............."thats the tell" [Instrumental Hit] [Final Chorus - Layered Male Harmonies] Everybody's got a tell Yours is thinking nobody can tell Say it clean, sell it well Your mouth keeps the secret But your body tells [Outro – sparse] Keep your story. Keep it well. I don't need the truth. I know your tell.
