Medallion (feat. Ghostface Killah)

Ever since I was circumcised

The planet and the earth was mines

Back then, way before stocks even nurtured guys

We heard bullet shots

Helicopters circled over blocks

Still hear them records skipping

Lock it up, padlock

We move from the projects straight into another one

Right before we moved in the crib, I heard another gun

Claude D watchin' some of us on the floor clean

Bullets hit the window and hit the box of saltines

Bullets came flying

Through my window

I was in your shadow

Trying to escape

We moved to the country

The city got ugly

And we thought we were safe

We made our escape

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Ah

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Settle your debt

Settle down it's only us

Looking for peace

The bitch goddess

On a short leash for good

While

Bullets came flying

Don't get it twisted I'm waiting, lead and that holo, ****

All white robe like I shampooed a poodle, ****

I'm tryna stay alive

I ain't ready for the morgue yet

Everything smooth like a strawberry sorbet

The violence

I've been around and remained silent

These little **** shootin' like these **** got talent

Stay outta dodge or pull soldiers under siege

We run and duck for cover every time we hear a squeeze

Ah

Bet you thought you were safe

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Ah

Bet you thought you were safe

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Bullets came flying

Ah

Bet you thought you were safe

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Medallion

Mmm-mmm

Bullets came flying

Ah

Bet you thought you were safe
