lyrics

// VERSE 1 //
Waiting in the dark while the greens decide our fate.
This Old English does the trick, but I just can’t shake this weight.
Layin’ low on the Impala while the keys sit in my hand.
When the young blood mixes wrong they may not understand.

It may be me that leads the law right up the chain.
I already sense their wrath, but we may escape the blame.
Stoke the fire and let it sit while we waste away the prime.
The young guns we have doomed to a life of ruthless crime.

// CHORUS //
Alhambra Shakedown.
Alhambra Shakedown,
what they never saw.

// VERSE 2 //
This quiet nerve disturbs me as I stare into the night.
This burner has no name, but it can turn the tide when we fight.
Meet me up at Roscoe’s when the blood begins to flow
We’ll take their land by force, and they may never know.

They might still find out who set up this whole town,
but if we settle in we can watch it all come down.
I’m not sure why you thought it wasn’t safe to hide,
as we hold the restless reigns through the rising of the tide.

// CHORUS //

// CODA //
It was him or me.
