Medallion Lyrics by Jenevieve (feat. 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 them 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 the window and hit the box of saltines
Bullets came flying
Through my window
I was in your shadow
Trying to escape
We moved to the country
The city got ugly
And we thought we were safe
We made our escape
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Ah
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
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
Don’t get it twisted I’m waiting, lead and that holo, n****
All white robe like I shampooed a poodle, n****
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***** shootin’ like these n***** got talent
Stay outta dodge or pull soldiers under siege
We run and duck for cover every time we hear a squeeze
Ah
Bet you thought you were safe
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Ah
Bet you thought you were safe
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Bullets came flying
Ah
Bet you thought you were safe
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Medallion
Mmm-mmm
Bullets came flying
Ah
Bet you thought you were safe
