: “Two Missed, One Answered”

[Intro] Phone buzzin', I ain't pickin' up... Too much goin' on, too much to tuck... Streetlights flicker, mind in a clutch... If it ain't love, then it's probably a bluff... [Hook – 4 bars] Two missed calls, one answered Life move quick when you dancin' with cancer One false step, now your name on a banner I just want peace, but the streets got a planner [Verse 1] First call came from the opp side, blocked it Knew it was bait, they been watchin' my pockets Second one rang, it was bro from the projects Said he got hit, now the block feel toxic Third one buzzed, I ain't even respond Too deep in the whip, with the stick and the bond Heart beatin' fast, got a text from my mom "Stay safe, baby"—I just stared at the dawn Fourth one came, it was shorty I curved She said she miss me, but I know what I heard She movin' slick, got a thing for the nerds I move in silence, I ain't speakin' no words Fifth one rang, it was fam from the pen Said he got word, they gon' spin it again I ain't got time, but I still play pretend Two missed calls, now the story begins [Hook – 4 bars] Two missed calls, one answered Life move quick when you dancin' with cancer One false step, now your name on a banner I just want peace, but the streets got a planner [Verse 2] Flashbacks hit when the ringtone chirped Voice in my head said, “Boy, stay alert” Call from a shorty, she cryin' in spurts Said her lil' bro got zipped in a shirt I ain't got time, but I still got guilt Two missed calls, now the tension built One got me hot, one got me chilled Third one rang, and I let it spill Told her I’m numb, told her I’m fried Told her I’m tired of the pain I hide Told her I’m stuck in a war with pride Told her I’m scared that I won’t survive Fourth one came, it was plug with a drop Said he got weight, but the feds on the block I ain’t no rookie, I know when to stop But hunger hit hard when the fridge ain’t stocked [Hook – 4 bars] Two missed calls, one answered Life move quick when you dancin' with cancer One false step, now your name on a banner I just want peace, but the streets got a planner [Verse 3] Sixth one rang, it was sis with a warning Said they seen my name in a thread this morning Talkin' 'bout hits, talkin' 'bout scoring Talkin' 'bout blood, like the beef still pouring Seventh one buzzed, it was bro with a plan Said “lay low, they got eyes on the van” I ain’t paranoid, I just move like a man But I know how it feel when the reaper expand Eighth one came, it was pops from the South Said “boy, be wise, keep God in your mouth” I just stared at the screen, heart full of doubt Two missed calls, now the truth leak out Ninth one rang, it was me in the mirror Staring at pain, but the vision got clearer Ten missed calls, now the silence feel nearer One got me shook, but the last one dearer [Hook – 4 bars] Two missed calls, one answered Life move quick when you dancin' with cancer One false step, now your name on a banner I just want peace, but the streets got a planner [Verse 4] Eleventh one rang, it was doc with a scan Said my lil' bro got a lump in his gland I ain’t respond, just stared at my hand Thinkin’ ‘bout karma and the weight of the land Twelfth one buzzed, it was gang with a toast Said “we up now,” but I feel like a ghost Money don’t heal when your soul been lost Two missed calls, now I’m payin' the cost Thirteenth hit, it was shorty again Said she prayin' for me, but I know how it end Love feel fake when the trust been thin I just let it ring, let the silence win Fourteenth came, it was me in a dream Talkin' to God in a room full of steam Asked if I’m cursed or just part of the scheme He ain’t say nothin', just passed me the beam [Hook – 4 bars] Two missed calls, one answered Life move quick when you dancin' with cancer One false step, now your name on a banner I just want peace, but the streets got a planner
