lyrics
Hiding from main streets away from windows
If you can move higher then don’t stay below
‘Cause bullets don’t care if you’re young or you’re old
The crack of gunfire makes my blood run cold
I thought I’d tucked these fears away
Used to live like this everyday
Now i’m
Lockdown, is this a curfew
Lockdown, reliving all I knew
Lockdown, is this a curfew
I’m locked down, locked down
Now my friends and neighbors are getting a taste
Of having mortality crouched in their space
‘Cause bullets don’t care if you’re black, white or red
One minute you’re laughing, the next one you’re dead
I thought I’d left this life behind
I thought I’d left this life behind
Left behind (x4)
Get inside
Get inside
Get inside
I thought i left this life behind
Now I’m locked down
Locked down
Locked down
Locked down locked down
Lockdown, is this a curfew
Lockdown, reliving all I knew
Lockdown, is this a curfew
I’m locked down, locked down
If you can move higher then don’t stay below
‘Cause bullets don’t care if you’re young or you’re old
The crack of gunfire makes my blood run cold
I thought I’d tucked these fears away
Used to live like this everyday
Now i’m
Lockdown, is this a curfew
Lockdown, reliving all I knew
Lockdown, is this a curfew
I’m locked down, locked down
Now my friends and neighbors are getting a taste
Of having mortality crouched in their space
‘Cause bullets don’t care if you’re black, white or red
One minute you’re laughing, the next one you’re dead
I thought I’d left this life behind
I thought I’d left this life behind
Left behind (x4)
Get inside
Get inside
Get inside
I thought i left this life behind
Now I’m locked down
Locked down
Locked down
Locked down locked down
Lockdown, is this a curfew
Lockdown, reliving all I knew
Lockdown, is this a curfew
I’m locked down, locked down
