Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What takes your body
They want to take your body
They want to hurt your body
And put it in the coffin
'Cause they don't think you matter
Oh no
They want to take your power
Oh no
And make you even lesser
Oh no
And add you to their number
[Verse 2]
Don't let them get close
They'll scream and murder them
You got to be cautious
Before they destroy ya
Don't let them get close
They'll scream not murder
You got to be cautious
Before they destroy ya
[Verse 3]
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
[Verse 4]
How fast can them bare feet run?
The answer is barely, isn't it?
But you can't stop for the pain
Pop another Oxy, swallow and hit the bricks
Follow the plan, you know all the tricks
Fire escape to the roof
Stay low, stay low, stay low
When they screaming out murder
They looking for you
They always looking for you
Why the fuck they always looking for you?
Surely somebody must live without stiffness
Ice in the spine, got you be running
So gotta keep running
So, so and so told you about so and so's cousin
They got him and there wasn't nothing left for her to identify
Disappeared in the blink of an eyeball
Bounce man, bounce man
[Verse 5]
Oh, he dead
Lost and found man
Oh, he dead
Used to be this girl around the way
Oh, she dead
Looked up to God and you pray
Oh, he dead, oh, she dead
What they say?
You got loose
Do not stop
Do not dwell
On the past
You's a fool
You got legs
Best to use them
Don't let them get close
[Verse 6]
You got to be cautious
This ain't knife to a gunfight but
More twig to a tank
They say these bullets hollow
Holler if you feel the same
Say you need bullets silver
Holler is you got a chant
Then this breeze make you shiver
Holler is you feel the pain
[Verse 7]
Yeah, the motor is throbbing insane
Must be about to rain again
Yeah, the older you get the less game they got to be breaking in
They like their meat fresh
So just take a live young man
Feet to the road again
They echo of boots on the pavement is palpable
All of the buildings are closing in
They hunters are packing
And they packing more fire power than you ever imagined
The pack on your back rattles back and forth
No slack, go faster, go faster
They mass as a trap
And you just a trapper who went for a masters
And dropped out when it didn't matter no more
Your body, you worked it and your body, body, them bodies
And watching them pile on the floor
[Verse 8]
So what them books got you, but dreams of everything lost?
What does sleep bring you, but screams at night when you toss?
And turn hope into stone
You might have win, boss
Stay alive at all cost
[Verse 9]
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
Can you feel it everywhere?
Oh, he dead
[Verse 10]
Don't let them get close
They'll scream and murder them
You got to be cautious
Before they destroy ya
Don't let them get close
