[Verse 1]:
Said he ain't sell crack for a living
But he always had a little something cooking in the kitchen
Always had product moving in the attic
sh** he was creating turn a n***a to an addict
From a city where the concrete bleeds
And n***as get commemorated over parking spots, it's hard to not
Feel helpless
When the whole team starving and the city in the struggle
And the baby scared dat you might not make it home
Late night schemes when a n***a get attacked
The homie took steel to the jawbone, mouth full of blood
I was ready to react
Shawty on the phone like don't be like dat
But if you step out please come right back
She said my heart invested, so I'll wait up for dat like...
[Hook]:
I promise you
If you love someone never let em go
Cuz you never know
When sh** might change and they disappear
Tell em get back safe...
Tell em get back safe...
Tell em get back safe...
(repeat)
[Verse 2]:
Said it's hard not to feel helpless
So far removed when them sirens rang
But she can feel the pain, is her baby slain
Cuz any black body bag could be his
Flipping through the channels hoping she don't see him
Any similar name could bring tears and screams
Best friend on the phone like girl relax
But she can't relax cuz the man she love is living in a war zone
And every time that he leave home
Just might be his last
Intertwined hearts tap dance on gla**
Fulfill your body and spirit
The courgae in your heart is fear when she feel it
Is fear when she feel it
But until you get back she gon' wait up and listen
[Hook]:
And I promise you
If you love someone never let em go
Cuz you never know
When sh** might change and they disappear
Tell em get back safe...
Tell em get back safe...
Tell em get back safe...
