YELLOW by KYU ~ (fka tokio) Lyrics
[Hook] (2x)
Stood behind the yellow tape
Don't run, escape
I can see the lights of many now
I don't feel safe
Oh, the coppers runnin' 'round me now
Can't see the face of the that's body layin' behind the yellow tape
Can't escape
[Verse 1]
Me and my homie, we go way back
Back to the times, used to write rhymes in lunch bags
Backpacks filled with the green pack
Don't look back
Teacher on our case almost every single day
Parents kicked us out
We didn't know where to stay
Lived on the ground for almost 6 days
Sick days were the days that we only laid back in the daze
With the taste of the Promo to our face
Wait
Later on, he had a gun up on his waist
Gang affiliated, he runnin' from the jakes
Debt he has on him, he can't run it, he gotta pay
Demons all on him, he can't shake 'em, he gotta face
[Verse 2]
He gotta shoot, shoot
Can't lose
Feel his handle
Bend and loose
Monsoon, come soon
Wash away this hood and bloom
Kinfolk too
Brother too
Damn, this place done went consumed
Hunger and pain of his family contained
Inside of his body, he went on embrace
[Break]
2AM, at the dark
He never goin' in
Knock my door, to my home
He say he lower it
"Wanna buy?"
Said "I'm good, I can pass this time."
Dapped me up
Hug me thug
Wish him luck
He run amok
[Verse 3]
Gunshot, buckshot
Heard in the corner
One block away, I feel my skin go colder
Grab on my shoes, put a shirt on
Hurt on my body, I wish it ain't you
Run to the truth
Neighbors all hear it
See me, see you
I know I fear it
I see blood on the concrete
Life lost in young sea
I don't know what to do other than stand, steed
Then I hear the people coming through
Then I hear the talking coming through
Then I hear the sirens coming through
They push me far so I can't get to you
[Hook] (2x)
Stood behind the yellow tape
Don't run, escape
I can see the lights of many now
I don't feel safe
Oh, the coppers runnin' 'round me now
Can't see the face of the that's body layin' behind the yellow tape
Can't escape
[Outro]
Wait
It's just a different time, man, it's just a different time
From the women of today to the men of today
Everything's different, man
Shit, if you think about it
If you really think about it youngin'
We all just boats inside of a tsunami
And no matter how long you spend in Miami
It's still gon' get you, bruh
Man, pass me my bottle, man
Enough of you
Stood behind the yellow tape
Don't run, escape
I can see the lights of many now
I don't feel safe
Oh, the coppers runnin' 'round me now
Can't see the face of the that's body layin' behind the yellow tape
Can't escape
[Verse 1]
