Promise me I'll be alive, when I leave my home
Promise me I'll be alive, when I drive, alone
Stoplights could be murder
Movements could be murder
Conversations be murder
Promise me I'll be alive, when I leave my home
Promise me I'll be alive, when I drive, alone
Stoplights could be murder
Movements could be murder
Steel bars, and they put a charge on my name
Now I think they got me back in chains
If I die before you wake
I need you to know that
I was looking forward
To my new job tomorrow
But these lights my life they take
When I'm on the road back
I can't stand the sirens
I hear them and I know what follows
I told myself I won't break
They shouted a warning
They made up a story
They say I resisted, and I might go missing
All my momma does is pray
She'll wake in the morning
And not be in mourning...
That's why I just need you to listen! -
Promise me I'll be alive, when I leave my home
Promise me I'll be alive, when I drive, alone
Stoplights could be murder
Movements could be murder
Conversations be murder
Promise me I'll be alive, when I leave my home
Promise me I'll be alive, when I drive, alone
Stoplights could be murder
Movements could be murder
Conversations lead to confrontations
Can’t take it no further
