Virtue O.s.O - The Birdzzz. lyrics

[Intro] You hear the birds chirping? (Birds chirping, birds lurking, lights flashing, windows smashing) You see the birds lurking? (Feds watching.. yo why the Feds watching) [Verse 1] Birds chirping, angels falling and the night is calling I can't seem to find no peace with all the stress I'm hauling I'm tryna keep my head straight I can hear the devil knocking Lucifer has always been around me I don't find it shocking Exploring deep within my thoughts back to the times of crawling Constant raids inside my crib is all that I'm recalling Ma was always there when I needed some problem solving Tellin' me to make it big she got her fingers crossing I keep telling her I got us I ain't never stopping Looking out my window all I see is past times Reminiscing on the crazy sh** that happened past nine Uncle leaving every night saying we'll all be fine We always asked where he was going he said "I'll be fine" And then it all made sense... The birds were chirping all around us it would get intense Eventually we got accustomed ain't no more suspense My uncle had to leave those nights for his own defense And we would look out the window watch it all commence (yup) [Hook] You hear the birds chirping? (Birds chirping, birds lurking, lights flashing, windows smashing) You see the birds lurking? (Feds watching, yeah, yeah I said the Feds watching) Yo why the feds watching? Yo, yo why the Feds watching) [Verse 2] I was such a happy kid man what happened?! When I was six my mind corrupted, my playing time disrupted, my violent mind erupted, and random raids conducted I overcame it so f** it I put the hot wheel down it wasn't heating enough I picked the burner off the ground and yeah the heat was tough My uncle took it out my hands and said "this leads to cuffs" He wasn't lying cause it happened and that sh** was rough (oh it was) It's kinda funny how one mistake leads to tragedy (yup) The government gives no forgiveness gotta find a strategy (yup) It's crazy how I deal with so much sh** within my family My uncles said when they was young they felt a sense of rhapsody Hanging with the g**ners made em witness casualties Up to no good every time they hopped the balcony They saw that nothing positive resulted from their blasphemy Eventually got caught and then they saw it ain't no fantasy (La la la la la la la la) This real life homie (West, west) [Outro] They were all just kids once, but then they found guns, their friends k**ed their lungs, so young and so dumb, mistakes would soon come, they were on the run, they bound to count months, and that explains why... You hear the birds chirping.... You see the birds lurking... [Interlude] Voicemail: You have reached the voicemail box of (818)- Uncle: Hey, Bryan. I just wanna let you know, regardless of what happens, I'm fine. Don't worry LAPD: Warrant, put your hands up! Put your hands up, get on the ground! Get on the ground! Put your hands behind your back! Hands behind your back, do it now
