The Sheild

Verse 1

Chrome

Cold steel

Biting hard at my heel

Concrete teeth on a gravel road

Heavy load

The devil wants his debt paid

But my brothers keep the blade stayed

Hanging on the corner with a tight grip

Never let the spirit slip

One time

Two times

Three times I dodged the cage

Turning over a bloody page

Chorus

When the wolves start howling at the door

I look to the left

I look to the right

My family is ready for the war

They keep me level

They keep me sane

They keep me whole

The brothers take away the pain

The brothers save my soul

Verse 2

Strayed

But I stayed

In the shade of the willow tree

Waiting for the set to see me free

Loyalty is the only currency we spend

Trusting every single friend

I saw the light

I felt the heat

I heard the truth

Coming from the pavement under my boot

Grime

In the nick of time

I found a reason to climb

Chorus

When the wolves start howling at the door

I look to the left

I look to the right

My family is ready for the war

They keep me level

They keep me sane

They keep me whole

The brothers take away the pain

The brothers save my soul

Bridge

Underneath the smog

Walking through the fog

Hand on my heart

Never falling apart

One for the crew

Two for the view

Three for the life we grew

Verse 3

Locked

Clocked

Getting mocked by the system

If I fall my brothers wouldn't miss 'em

Taking every blow to the chin

Watching all the gold thin

Life is a snake

Life is a shark

Life is a shadow in the dark

But I got a circle of iron

Sleeping in the den of a lion

Safe

In the home base

Chorus

When the wolves start howling at the door

I look to the left

I look to the right

My family is ready for the war

They keep me level

They keep me sane

They keep me whole

The brothers take away the pain

The brothers save my soul

Outro

Got my back

Yeah

They got my back

Through the thick

Through the thin

We win

We always win

Circle tight

Hold it right

Yeah
