[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
Ever since I was circumcised
The planet and the earth was mines
Back then, way before stocks even nurtured guys
We heard bullet shots
Helicopters circled over blocks
Still hear 'em records skipping
Lock it up, padlock
We move from the projects straight into another one
Right before we moved in the crib, I heard another gun
Claude D watchin' some of us on the floor clean
Bullets hit thе window and hit the box of saltines

[Verse 2: Jenevieve]
Bullets camе flying through my window
I was in your shadow tryna to escape
We moved to the country, the city got ugly
And we thought we were safe, we made our escape

[Chorus: Jenevieve]
Medallion, hmm-mm
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Medallion, hmm-mm
Medallion, hmm-mm

[Verse 3: Jenevieve]
Settle your debt, settle down
It's only us, looking for peace
The bitch-goddess on a short leash for good
While bullets came flying
[Verse 4: Ghostface Killah]
Don't get it twisted I'm waiting, lead and that holo, n***a
All white robe like I shampooed a poodle, n***a
I'm tryna stay alive
I ain't ready for the morgue yet
Everything smooth like a strawberry sorbet
The violence
I've been around and remained silent
These little n***as shootin' like these n***as got talent
Stay outta dodge or pull soldiers under siege
We run and duck for cover every time we hear a squeeze

[Chorus: Jenevieve]
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Bet you thought you were safe)
Medallion, hmm-mm
Medallion, hmm-mm
Medallion, hmm-mm
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Bet you thought you were safe)
Medallion, hmm-mm
Medallion, hmm-mm

[Outro: Jenevieve]
Bullets came flying
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Bet you thought you were safe)
Medallion, hmm-mm
Medallion, hmm-mm
Bullets came flying
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Bet you thought you were safe)
