Behind The Breath

Yeah..

Look...

voice cut—frame jump—smoke blunt

This twunny twunny six,

and the whole block tense Blue lights cut the dark,

blood pressure commence Fuck fear,

fuck rage, fuck sirens,

fuck stress I just mind my business,

let God do the rest Boots hit the pavement,

everybody peek blinds Kids hear swat yell and they freeze mid-time Old

heads on the porch like,

"man, this ain't new" Young nickas clench fists like they about to

move Heat in the air,

you can taste that shit News cam zoom in,

record the worst shit legit

Talk from my man but his voice sound different Room full of

smoke, his mood gone distant Tension in the air,

may have to show true grit Best friend on edge,

man the fuse stay lit

Chaos in the streets,

heat don’t stop

Footsteps from behind, hear the bassline knock

Chaos in the streets,

heat don’t stop

Footsteps from behind, hear the bassline knock

stand by—stand by—system error

System error...

Nickas kickin doors, got whole house's shook One dude standing tall with

a sketch-ass look His mama say hush,

don’t move, don’t speak

Whole life can flip when real g's creep Shots in the distance,

now the dogs all bark Helicopters hum,

can't see em' in the dark Phone screen glow with familiar names

More smiling snakes playin they same old games Storefront glass shattered,

gunshots thunder Folks want peace but they stuck down under

Every loud pop make the whole block jump Don't want to wake

up, but the heart steady pump

Chaos in the streets,

heat don’t stop

Footsteps from behind, hear the bassline knock

Chaos in the streets,

heat don’t stop

Footsteps from behind, hear the bassline knock

The fuck? Too buzzed—mind split,

rewind Toodles.

Bitch.
