lyrics
we arrived at the right place at the right time
swigs of cheap vodka jumping to the mind
the adrenaline rush now, the tingle in the spine
opposites they were paint and we were turpentine
on their turf now straight, behind their high school
i told my boys wait, keep it real keep cool
keep it steady so we fuck em up leave em lying in mud
leave em with a memory so they never fuck with us
they were pushing ten and we were pushing ten strong
it was midnight we kept quiet to avoid an alarm
we were south of the county verse north of the county
now were in too deep no time to be doubting
they finally came, the words hit like the rain
typical back and forth talk its the same
who fuck whos girl who called who a faggot
we didnt give a fuck none of us were gonna have it
the first punch thrown, and a groan from the top
followed by the shouts, its was time to let it drop
two tidal waves collide with the fury of the fight
get hit in the chest hit him back with a right
escalation, was the name of the game,
never felt the pain alcohol in the vein
people on the ground, getting kicked around
i got a fist to the back of the head, i fell down
opened my eyes to the wet grass, roll fast
got out of the way missed a boot as it crashed
down where my head lay a moment before
no longer a fight it was motherfucking war
get the fuck up, now we're soldiers and their enemies
doing anything we can, to interrupt identity
smash my fist against the soft of their face
gotta make sure, itll give way when it breaks
gotta make sure, every single one of them pays
gotta make sure, kick em while their down where they lay
and i see the blood dripping out of my face
a split second is alot so i pay for my mistake
feeling dizzy on the ground, enemy over me
blows to my body, covered in blood, cant see
then i hear a thud, try to adjust my mental
my boy helps me up, in his hand something metal
i look down to the ground, to see the enemy
face down on the ground, skull bleeding at the seam
and my man in his hand an aluminum bat
the one years before that he was given by his dad
i can hardly see, but we ran away quick
get off the field and we jet to the whip
meet up at the local exxon
what the fucks going on, should we set the alarm
my man near in tears, and we're all shaken
"i didnt wanna hit him on the head, i could feel the skull breaking
but he was trying to kill you," he said to me
to hide my fears i looked down at my feet
we could hear the rescue helicopters near
by i could tell by his eyes there was no hope here
so we went home, nothing else to do
all together but entirely trapped in solitude
that night none of us could sleep cus we knew
in the morning we'd be woken up by the news
about a murder in a brawl, the suspect was known
so my man turned himself in there on that phone
