Sirens Songtext
von Coops

Wake up and I′m hearing sirens
From a early age we've been exposed to so much violence
Olders used to tell me that we keep that code of silence
Granny told me that I need to pray for guidance
Wake up and I′m hearing sirens
From a early age we've been exposed to so much violence
Olders used to tell me that we keep that code of silence
Granny told me that I need to-

Pray for some change 'cause I′m sick of the same
Probably semi-insane tryna live with this pain

Send us to flames


Jah know this hell ain′t no game
Them sell off themselves for the fame
Just look how they tame
I don't need to say no names, I remain
One of the realest that′s came
And I put that shit on my name
I see them all change
The second they cut them that change
And the brothers jumped on the stage
I still got the wave

And I'ma take that to my grave
Put that on my pave′
I come here to save ya
Call me the saviour
Minor to major
Tell 'em I′m major
These carbon copies watch me like a hobo

Now they getting clocked they like "Uh oh"
Crips are coming over where you pothole

About to leave my head bumpy like a pothole

You know where we're coming from, lotto
You see tryna get money is the motto

And I ain't ever tried to win the lotto
Nineteen, hopping out of space shuttles


Wake up and I′m hearing sirens
From a early age we′ve been exposed to so much violence
Olders used to tell me that we keep that code of silence
Granny told me that I need to pray for guidance
Wake up and I'm hearing sirens
From a early age we′ve been exposed to so much violence
Olders used to tell me that we keep that code of silence
Granny told me that I need to pray for guidance

Granny told me that I need to pray for guidance
My granny told me that I need to pray for guidance, guidance
Wake up and I'm hearing sirens
My granny told me that I need to pray for guidance
Yeah, granny told me that I need to pray for guidance
My-
Guidance, guidance
Wake up and I′m hearing sirens

Yeah, I used to watch Looney Tunes
One of my favourites was Tasmanian Devil
I wanted a T-shirt
The one with him wearing the gold chain and the bezel
No wonder I rap now
'Cause all of my role models either
Wearing gold medals or signed to the devil

Joyride in the whip just to show me how to use pedals
I used to watch Simpsons
Remember when I made that slingshot tryna be Bart?
That was the in thing
Only I was using mine to shoot at the cars
What was I thinking?
Stealing sweets from the stores

Feds knocking at my door
Mumzy getting on to me saying, "We ain′t poor"
"So why the hell you doing that for, Jordan?"
I don't know, probably boredom
I don't know
I was just one of those kids that copied that shit as I saw them
Never sat on no fences
Giving in to my senses
I committed offences

Bad influences

Got a rapping degree
And I′m stacking this P
It′s funny, I used to be slacking, you see

Now I'm the guy that the kids at the back wanna be
But you don′t wanna be me

Wake up and I'm hearing sirens
From a early age we′ve been exposed to so much violence
Olders used to tell me that we keep that code of silence
Granny told me that I need to pray for guidance
