K-Rino
Tension
[Verse 1: K-Rino]
Trap is set and you the mouse, freely walking through your house
Relationship on the edge, barely talking to your spouse
Whole damn town is mad everybody down to blast
Vast majority upset and agger people bound to clash
Loud talk draped around, tried but can't escape the sound
Son getting older now he thinking he can take you down
Bucking up and feeling fat, now you got to deal with that
I knew this day would come man, I don't wanna have to kill this cat
Plus you wanna get your boss, he won't even let you talk
Mind on the edge now, slightest thing will set you off
Been around the block so don't treat me like a first-nighter
Walking down the street, white lady grips her purse tighter
Even though I paid my dues, man the devil hate to lose
Police got four or five tools that they can't wait to use
Racist ways coming out, shooting spraying tasing joking
Used to hide you when they beat you, now they whip you in the open. Tension

[Hook]

When I'm rolling through the hood I feel tension
When I step into my house I feel tension
As I'm walking down the street I feel tension
When I see the police I feel

[Verse 2]
Before I hit the corner I can already tell it's jumping
Loud music heavy bumping everybody selling something
Every-night a new disciple cheer the devil boo the bible
Prison waits for five-year-olds whose lives will soon go through the cycle
Running up and bang doors, blood baths paint floors
Shady women make you claim and raise babies that ain't yours
Close cats and drugs are life, somebody might bust tonight
Wife don't trust the husband, husband don't trust the wife
Cutting throats to climb the ladder, that'll make your wallet fatter
Daughter in the strip-club with rappers throwing dollars at her
Shots exploding through you should've did what you was told to do
Now you decomposing in a suit with loved ones standing over you
No sanity coz we lost it, stressing got the world exhausted
Government be tryin' to toss it, knowing they the ones who caused it
Every action is a part of dysfunctional thought-disorder
Daily friction in the family, father son mother daughter. Tension

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Tension and apprehension as I pass through a suburban dimension
My neck feels the tightness of a lynching
Grinding male, walking through the hood with your mind in hell
The anxiety you feel your first time in jail
Tension, standing face to face with the main goon
One dude with both his baby-mamas in the same room
Finding out the one you trusted that's who busted ya
Two rival hustlers competing for street customers
Making a couple o' adjustments trying to keep others from touching ya
When life is thrusting shock suffering at your jugular
Heartless guys, see the ego gathers where the caucus lies
Fathers of the dark despise then lawyers rise and organize
All around, everybody's fighting in this sport of blood
Nothing more intense than when you got to stand before the judge
Freedom on the line, it's a everyday part of life
We cutting through it but it's hard to slice, we need a sharper knife. Tension
[Hook]
