Claymore Lyrics

[Chorus: Isaiah Rashad & Smino]
Is you runnin' or exercisin', baby? (Yeah)
Keep it one, one
Claymore, let's swang, it's almost like control
Claymore, let's swang
Is you runnin' or exercisin', baby? (Yeah)
Keep it one, one
Claymore, let's swang, it's almost like control
Claymore, let's swang

[Verse 1: Isaiah Rashad]
Yeah
Let me call up Isha to come over here
Keisha, we about to get so gone, yeah
Let me call up Peaches, that's my other rib
Keisha, we about to get gone
Do-do you wanna play in the backseat? Part of my ride (Ride)
Do you wanna live in the fast lane, shorty, all night? (Night)
Lo-lo-losin' my, losin' my, losin' myself, I'm high (I'm high)
Cr-cr-cruisin' now, cruisin' now, crush it up, crush it up, nice (Crush it up nice)
Cr-crush it up, crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
Crush it up nice (Crush it up nice)
Break it down, break it down, break it down, break it down, pick it up (Pick up a price)
Lo-lo-losin' my, losin' my, losin' myself, I'm high, yeah
You-you can't control yourself (Control yourself)
All for the bag, all for the bag, you done destroyed yourself, yeah
[Chorus: Isaiah Rashad & Smino]
Is you runnin' or exercisin', baby? (Yeah)
Keep it one, one
Claymore, let's swang, it's almost like control
Claymore, let's swang
Is you runnin' or exercisin', baby? (Yeah)
Keep it one, one
Claymore, let's swang, it's almost like control
Claymore, let's swang

[Bridge: Isaiah Rashad & Smino]
Yeah, they be like Teisha, can we take this easy?
Can we take this easy? You know deep down
You tryin' to find no reason, why I gotta be too live
Be three live, every time I see you, every time I need you
Got a bag for the low and you scared to death (I be)

[Verse 2: Smino]
Everything, everything, everything
Get a little better when it's a lil' loud involved, oh

On the low, I'ma be comin' up on your side
Black Uber, they know my car (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lookin' at me like "Hey, Mista"
Take photos with a telescope
Heard you been runnin' with the lames, I know
Only go live on Periscope
You don't know everything, literally
Get a lil' better when you speak loud and clear
See everything that you doubt and fear
That energy not allowed this year
That little league mindset out of here
Smokin' OG, baby
Why you playin' hard ball?
I'm just trying to ball hard with you, lil' baby
[Chorus: Isaiah Rashad with Smino & Smino]
Is you runnin' or exercisin', baby? (Is you runnin'?)
Keep it one, one (Keep it one)
Claymore, let's swang, it's almost like control (Ooh)
Claymore, let's swang (Do, do, do-do)
Is you runnin' or exercisin', baby?
Keep it one, one
Claymore, let's swang, it's almost like control
Claymore, let's swang

“Claymore” was first teased by Isaiah Rashad with a tweet on January 6, 2020, stating that one of his to-do activities for the day was to get St. Louis rapper Smino on the track, which was still unreleased at the time.

The song eventually got included in Rashad’s third studio album, The House Is Burning, released at the end of July 2021.

I made that song for Smino. And if I didn’t use it, I was going to try to give it to him. And then he finally got on it, but I think his album was about done and he didn’t really need it, so we used it. Most everybody on my album I listen to, so most of the tracks were made like ‘oh, this would be a tight Smino song’ or that type of shit if it’s fitting. I be having that type of stuff in mind.

Have Isaiah Rashad and Smino worked together before?
Genius Answer

No! Claymore marks the first track between the two.
