Safety On My Mind

Mask on, zip up

Cold block, stiff lungs

Whole team, linked up

Still pray we live long (yeah)

Heard them talk online

Touch road, they quiet

I just clock my grind

Stay low, move silent

‘Cause mom still stress

She feel every siren

I told her I’m blessed

But I still move wise in it

Eyes on the mirror, that backstreet bend

Old school friends turn snakes for the trend

I don’t need stripes from a headline page

I just need time and my family safe

Ops wanna chat ’bout scores, I laugh

Man still broke, just posing hard

I was in the rain just holding scars

Heart got colder than patrol cars

Safety on my mind

I’m tryna make it home tonight

Too many names on stones

I can’t be one more in that line

So I keep my guard on high

But I keep my soul aligned

Whole block live by pride

I just wanna live my life (live my life)

Late night creep, that alleyway tense

One wrong move, that’s lifelong stress

Little bro texting, “You due back when?”

He don’t need news ’bout his big bro’s end

Talk tough on a cracked estate

But fear in the air when the mandem fade

You can’t rewind when the scene gets taped

You can’t respawn in the real-life game

So I step smart, that’s coded moves

Circle tight like folded tools

We was kids in the cage of the council roof

Now it’s business calls and tailored suits

Still, I feel that weight in my chest

Trauma tucked in a Nike tech

Every block’s got ghosts they rep

I just pray they let us rest

Safety on my mind

I’m tryna make it home tonight

Too many names on stones

I can’t be one more in that line

So I keep my guard on high

But I keep my soul aligned

Whole block live by pride

I just wanna live my life (live my life)

Hands up, who tired of the cycle? (tired)

Mums in black with the Bibles

We don’t need more fake idols

We just need boys turned viable

Hands up for the ones that we lost

Name on a chain, can’t cover that cost

I move sharp, I know what’s at stake

Life in my palm, I ain’t letting that break

Safety on my mind

I’m tryna make it home tonight

Too many names on stones

I can’t be one more in that line

So I keep my guard on high

But I keep my soul aligned

Whole block live by pride

I just wanna live my life (live my life)
