LYRICS
The other day my uncle told me a story
he said “son, it gets a bit gory.”
“One night I had to flee and leave my land
my older brother stole some heavy contraband
they came for him- he wasn’t there- they came for me
the drug cartel made me a refugee”
“Two motorcyclists came towards me
right away I knew they were the enemy
I saw the malice in their eyes
but I held a .22 to their surprise”
“The gunman jumped off the back of the bike
cold blooded terror is nothing I like
adrenaline rippin’ apart my brain
couldn’t let these killers erase my name”
“I let a bunch of bullets fly
then I took off running towards the sky
I’ll never know if they got hit
but there was nobody behind me when I split”
“I ran back home as fast as I could
no choice now I had to leave for good
I packed a bag the few things I own
deal gone bad will never leave me alone”
“I heard a dozen cars creep by
mercenary always sly
they were ready to take my life that day
that’s why I live right here 500 miles away”
