lyrics

I know no one here. I’ve got nothing to prove.

There’s strangers staring at me and they got something to prove

step outside of the club and they might stab you up.

Shadows in the night. It makes me wanna die.

I hold onto your words as they tear apart my world.

Walk out in the forest at the old state park.

There’s strangers staying out here but they do no harm

They just wanna drink in peace. You best not call the police.

They finna clap you up, if you get close enough.

There’s people in the shadows there just trying to live
They’re hidden for a reason, its the hate that u give
Are people in the tents just piles of meat?
There’s evil in your houses but yr scared of the street?

Don’t get me wrong, I know, you gotta protect yourself
Mind your own life, keep your eyes somewhere else
Quit dialing on your phone unless you need an EMT
And if you’re worried about your life go buy yourself a piece
