{sub-bass swells} {dark string section intro} (hmmmm) (shhhhh) {filtered tape hiss}
Straight, silent, straight, violet Straight timeless hits,
it’s crazy to see The bullets curve when they come out the
clips
Straight silent assassin, tip If I die I’ll be rebirthed under the
mob list M.O.B.S.T.A come after the mob bitch Cross my heart,
hope I never die shit
{gritty boom-bap beat kicks in} This is what it sounds like when
red birds cry
(red birds cry) And Mr.
Goodfellas, start speaking, a cappella
What was the storm,
man, brothers and all The path to each other and tell us
to be calm This is what it sounds like when red birds
cry
{soaring brass hits} It’s a thin line between love and hate
Love is made by the fates
Hate comes when you can’t get love to take Then you find
out there was love for your cake
Then the body appears on the news
Backside fishing on the lake
{beat drops out slightly,
filtering effect} Miles the matter,
mines the matter
I’d rather double up and level
Then remember, as never
Only called as we came next
And looked on to be blessed
(to be blessed)
{orchestral swell} No tears my eyes,
on our tongue
Devil his lies thoughts,
concert battle Wise men saw,
spoken heart is broken down By the ties that we carry for
my past Never to hear
{piano solo outro note} This is what it sounds like when red
birds cry (red birds cry)
(so
silent) {strings fade out} {vinyl crackle stops}
