Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everyone safe and sound, this how family do
Only homies around, everyone here is crew
Somethin' foul in the air, somethin' feelin' askew
Wind is in the pipes, is that whistle callin' for you?
Don't holler, it's cool
[Verse 2]
Windows boarded and sealed, doors are bolted and locked
Product cookin' on pace, weaponry fully stocked
Body sleepin' in shifts, other bodies keep watch
Bullets are for anybody caught runnin' up in the spot
[Verse 3]
The pop, the pop, drop, the lights are dropped low
Somethin' shot from the trees
Went straight through the front door, homie dropped to his knees
Blood seepin' from his neck, as he struggle to breathe
Wooden floor is stained wet, gets soft the more that he bleeds
[Verse 4]
He leaves, believe, didn't know what summon what was comin'
But it creepin' on a come up, now it's right up in your face
Face it, let it resonate up in your bone a minute when you shiver
Make a sliver big enough for it to have a space
[Verse 5]
Ripped, life slipping away, maybe you can make it out with just a little bit of grace
But it truly doesn't give a fuck about the fear you feelin'
It is here to make you understand that nothing is safe
[Verse 6]
Nothing is, nothing is safe
Nothing is sacred, nothing is safe, nothing to pray for
Nothing is safe, nothing is
Nothing is
[Verse 7]
Cut the light and stay low, all is quiet and still
Peerin' through the window, staring over the field
Scent of death in the air, nothin' out there looks real
Close the homie's eyes, now is not the time to be feelin'
[Verse 8]
Really load up, furniture to the walls, barricade you inside
Lose the lights in the hallways, everyone gon' be fine
Phone that no one should call starts to ring in one time
All the homies' eyes slide to it then the walls split from the outside
The air rushes in, it's cold as fuck, bullets slappin' like hell
[Verse 9]
My homies struck down, the mission has failed
The wood is split, splintered chandelier falls and smashes hard
Glass and steel everywhere and every throat screams in protest
You all are dyin' and really will anyone care?
Truth, like death, comes for everyone
[Verse 10]
Barely had to summon what was comin'
It was creepin' on a come up, now it's right up in your face
Face it, let it resonate up in your bone a minute when you shiver
Make a sliver big enough for it to have a space
[Verse 11]
Ripped, life slipping away, maybe you can make it out with just a little bit of grace
But it truly doesn't give a fuck about the fear you feelin'
It is here to make you understand that nothing is safe
[Verse 12]
Nothing is, nothing is safe
Nothing is sacred, nothing is safe, nothing to pray for
Nothing is safe, nothing is
Nothing is
[Verse 13]
Death is comin' for you, but you already knew that
Thought the clique up brought you some safety up in this pack
But that didn't add up, back up, stand up, strike a pose
With your gat up, that's what they like, you suppose
They go rack up, stack up that's the that you stole
But the fact of status wrapped up in black cold
[Verse 14]
Caskets cannot be ignored, runnin' so fast you'd have an award
Homies got gas to cash from that score
Y'all coulda made a dash just after one more
So you put up on the gas and smash 'round the corner
Only one man was sent to the coroner
Wasn't part of the plan, but damn
The fast foreign whip was too quick to flip it and fast forward
[Verse 15]
The past smashed every wall, pillar, and floorboard
Ashes to ashes, dust in the lung
Fire now on everything, gasoline been poured
Last piece of action 'fore you succumb
[Verse 16]
Just catch a glance of what could have done this
Somethin' 'bout how he walks reminds you of someone
You look and see a gun, a man with no face
A golden halo that could be the sun
[Verse 17]
Long ago you summoned what was comin'
It was creepin' on a come up, now it's right up in your face
Face it, let it resonate up in your bone a minute when you shiver
Make a sliver big enough for it to have a space
[Verse 18]
Ripped, life slipping away, maybe you can make it out with just a little bit of grace
But it truly doesn't give a fuck about the fear you feelin'
It is here to make you understand that nothing is safe
[Verse 19]
Nothing is, nothing is safe
Nothing is sacred, nothing is safe, nothing to pray for
Nothing is safe, nothing is
Nothing is
