In Beaumont, Texas, Teezo is referring to the culture of crime in “100 Drums” after his girlfriend Taylor, gets shot & killed in 2016. Obviously not promoting the gun culture, he condemns the senseless violence and hopes for more. Trippie Redd found this on social media & reached out to Teez...
[Verse 1]
Is anybody brave anymore?
Does anybody (anybody)
Anybody (anybody)
Anybody even taking fades anymore?
I don't wanna visit graves anymore (anybody)
I got (anybody), no tears I didn't save anymore
I don't think that I'm okay anymore (anybody)
I don't wanna call no more friends (anybody)
Saying "we won't see our friend anymore"
Rather hang at the mall than the morgue
[Chorus]
No, I do not promote guns
But coming from where I'm from
You'd be dumb not to have one
Every time we go out to have fun
It's a fucking rock band with 100 drums
No, I do not promote guns
But coming where I'm from
You'd be dumb not to have one
Every time we go out to have fun
It's a fucking rock band with 100 drums
[Verse 2]
Lord, are you listening?
You sending lesson after lesson, I'm not getting it
My strongest soldier folding on me, man, it's crumbling
My own family giving up on me, it's humbling
I say Looo-ord, "can you hear me?"
I need you near me
I need a shoulder to cry on~
[Bridge]
Coming from a town where the good boys die and the good girls hang on the bad boy's side
You think shit's sweet, well come and get a slice
You'll be lucky if you leave witcha life
[Chorus]
(No!)
No, I do not promote guns
But coming from where I'm from
You'd be dumb not to have one
Every time we go, oughta have one
It's a fucking rock band with 100 drums
No, I do not promote guns
But coming where I'm from
You'd be dumb not to have one
Every time we go out to have fun
It's a fucking rock band with 100 drums
