(shhh) C.O.D… cash or death… (ghost echo) Famiglia sopra tutto… (ugh, ghost) Verse 1 Black steel in my palm, I don’t play with fate (hmm) Rivals vanish quick β€” M.I.A. on the plate (M.I.A., echo) Stack bricks, flip weight, no love in the code (pah!) One word too loud, you get buried on the road (road... ghosted) G.O.D.? β€” nah, I pray to the Glock (G.O.D., fading) Sotto voce deals β€” silence talks a lot (shhh) Heart beat military β€” doom, doom, doom (doom doom, ghost echo) But my mask don’t break, even standing in the tomb (tomb... tomb...) Chorus (graduation of voice, ghost doubling) C.O.D β€” cash or death, no middle ground (C.O.D., echo) Shadows breathe loud when the lights go down (hmm…) Every tick of the clock is a blade to the chest (tick-tick, whisper) I move slow, but I never rest (rest... rest...) C.O.D β€” cash or death, no middle ground (FTW!) No saints in the zone, just graves in the sound (sound, distorted) Every step that I take got a ghost behind (behind, ghost echo) Still alive, but I walk half blind (blind... blind...)

Blood in the alley, vendetta on call (vendetta!) No love, just war β€” I don’t fear the fall (pah! pah!) Every rival is a ghost before they breathe (breathe... breathe...) I write death notes while the others still dream (dream… dream...) Chorus (stronger, layered ghost voices) C.O.D β€” cash or death, no middle ground (C.O.D., ghost) Shadows breathe loud when the lights go down (ugh) Every tick of the clock is a blade to the chest (tick-tick, whisper) I move slow, but I never rest (rest... rest...) C.O.D β€” cash or death, no middle ground (F.T.W., slowed ghost) No saints in the zone, just graves in the sound (sound... sound) Every step that I take got a ghost behind (behind, rising voice) Still alive, but I walk half blind (blind... blind...)
