Not Safe

Lyrics

Intro
Yeah
It’s not safe
(Huh)
It’s not safe

Chorus
It’s not safe on the mains
Not safe in the bits
Not safe when we glide
Not safe if we miss
Not safe when I’m calm
Not safe when I’m pissed (nah)
You can pray for your life
But your name on the list
It’s not safe
Not safe (not safe)
Whole hood on my case
You can talk online
But you still get chased
When we step outside
Better hide your face
‘Cause it’s not safe
Not safe

Verse 1
Mask on
Hoodie low
That’s pressure
Still do it broad-day
That’s extra
Heard man talk tough on the network
Seen man turn choir in a stretcher
Cold heart
I don’t feel no lecture
Old scars turn boy to a wrestler
Heard your block got “rules” and “structure”
One call
We remodel the sector
Slide round there
That’s local
One wrong move
Go postal
Big whips circlin’ slow-mo
Whole street tense like a promo
Mum said “son
Don’t follow that road”
But the road done followed my postcode
Now every time corn gets thrown
Gotta pray that the pain don’t hit home

Chorus
It’s not safe on the mains
Not safe in the bits
Not safe when we glide
Not safe if we miss
Not safe when I’m calm
Not safe when I’m pissed (yeah)
You can pray for your life
But your name on the list
It’s not safe
Not safe (not safe)
Whole hood on my case
You can talk online
But you still get chased
When we step outside
Better hide your face
‘Cause it’s not safe
Not safe

Verse 2
Real talk
I don’t flex
I state
Seen bros get caged by the state
Seen mums turn grey in a day
Tryna scrub out blood from the gate
That’s fate
That’s pain you can’t fake
Still walk with the weight on my waist
Still spin ’round there like a plate
Still pray that the boys beat the case
Big dreams but I’m stuck in the cycle
Still write what I live
That’s a Bible
Every line that I drop got an eyeful
Whole past runnin’ back like a rival
You don’t know ’bout loss
You just tweet it
We been in deep ends
You just pree it
We really bleed for the road
Then leave it
Still can’t sleep
Nightmares on repeatin’

Chorus
It’s not safe on the mains
Not safe in the bits
Not safe when we glide
Not safe if we miss
Not safe when I’m calm
Not safe when I’m pissed (woo)
You can pray for your life
But your name on the list
It’s not safe
Not safe (not safe)
Whole hood on my case
You can talk online
But you still get chased
When we step outside
Better hide your face
‘Cause it’s not safe
Not safe

Bridge
[Beat strips back
Distant sirens]
Heart cold but the block still flames
Dead friends in my phone
Old names
Every road that I take
Same lane
Every night that I live
Same pain (same pain)
Do you really wanna live this way?
Do you really wanna risk your days?
Still I walk with the crew
Can’t change
’Cause the truth is cruel and

Chorus
It’s not safe on the mains
Not safe in the bits
Not safe when we glide
Not safe if we miss
Not safe when I’m calm
Not safe when I’m pissed (yeah)
You can pray for your life
But your name on the list
It’s not safe
Not safe (not safe)
Whole hood on my case
You can talk online
But you still get chased
When we step outside
Better hide your face
‘Cause it’s not safe
Not safe (not safe)
It’s not safe
Not safe (yeah)
It’s not safe
Not safe
(Not safe)
