FKJ & Bas – Risk Lyrics

On this track, Bas teams up with FKJ to rap about a relationship with a woman in which he took a “Risk.” She was almost too perfect at first but later became distant and nonresponsive, and Bas wants her back.

Risk Lyrics by FKJ & Bas

[Chorus: Bas]
Risk
I never thought it’d be this
I’m jumpin’ out of your arms
I land and fall in a pit
Is this what they call the abyss?
I fought and clawed for an inch
Turned into miracle mile
I can recall when your lips
Used to contort into smiles
Bright as the sun that’s drawn an eclipse
I haven’t seen light in awhile
Hasn’t been bright in awhile

[Post-Chorus: Bas & FKJ]
Risk (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Risk (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1: Bas]
Even days when you mad at me (Mad at me…)
You the one to give me clarity (Clarity…)
A testament to your character (Character…)
On your birthday you told me to donate money to charity
You are made of sincerity (‘cerity…)
And got cake like Sara Lee
You tether me when my stress start burying me
You are the one to take care of me
I’m so gone, that conclusion foregone that confuse you
I’m weary of war zones, this tour long
I’m ready to go home, I’m ready for your bed
Can you comb my hair out so it don’t dread?
I just want my head rubbed
I don’t want a mixtape
I just want the best of
I just wanna get grub, from our spot again
But do the odds work in our favor?
Stay down, escape town
Head low and face down
Like a kenneled greyhound
Doing God’s work in the devil’s playground

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Bas]
Risk
I never thought it’d be this
I’m jumpin’ out of your arms
I land and fall in a pit
Is this what they call the abyss?
I fought and clawed for an inch
Turned into miracle mile
I can recall when your lips
Used to contort into smiles
Bright as the sun that’s drawn an eclipse
I haven’t seen light in awhile
Hasn’t been bright in awhile

[Post-Chorus: Bas & FKJ]
Risk (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Risk (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2: Bas]
Wish you picked up all my calls
I been goin’ through withdrawals
Tryin’ to take the edge off, I need novacane
I been tryin’ to stand tall
I hope that you stand wit’ me
You know all the greats fall, shit is all the same
Hot as napalm
Next day come the rain, gotta stay calm
Press play, put my heart in all of these songs
Display all of these wrongs, yeah, a part of me is gone
You are a gift in itself
A measure of wealth
The meaning of selfless
I place you over the shelf and higher than pedestals
Over the belt that straddle the waist on Orion’s constellation Observation of you
Here come the truth
I’m most overdue
I’m stuck over you
I’ve gone under
Living proof of God’s wonders
[Chorus: Bas]
Risk
I never thought it’d be this
I’m jumpin’ out of your arms
I land and fall in a pit
Is this what they call the abyss?
I fought and clawed for an inch
Turned into miracle mile
I can recall when your lips
Used to contort into smiles
Bright as the sun that’s drawn an eclipse
I haven’t seen light in awhile
Hasn’t been bright in awhile
