The Unsafe Way

V.Mello

Man, I used to shop at that Safeway
Now shoppin’s the unsafe way
walking these aisles makes me prey
I’m a sitting duck with my hands this way

I used to shop at that Safeway
Coulda been me
getting PB and jelly
coulda been me

coulda been you
coulda been you
coulda been you

coulda been anybody

like flippin a coin
or rollin’ a die

that’s what we doin
we all just rollin to die

rolling a die

when’s your number gonna come up?

Bingo

Mr. Surrett, I salute you

for actin with the quickness
and stabbin this randomness

You stopped the coins from flippin
and undoubtedly saved lives 
But this one die kept spinnin’
and caught you with the snake’s eyes

Thanks to you 
no one else was forced to gamble
with their life - Thanks to you
we got our life – Thanks to you
