Mafia Heat

I came with a grin, but the grin was fake Backseat full of smoke, we all know the stakes Old-school suits in the back of the room Gold ring flash when the silence boom He said my name like he wanted a war Now the whole block froze at the front door One step left, then the lights got low Ten-man deep but they still moved slow Don’t act brave When the red beam plays Hands stay up Or you meet that fate Count them steps Hear that floorboard crack One wrong move Ain’t no taking it back All black, no peace All black, no sleep Mafia heat Mafia heat Run for the door Better stay out the street Mafia heat Mafia heat I saw his right hand shake by the glass I saw the fear when the old love passed Name on the table, blood on the lace He tried to smile with a tired face My sister said, “Girl, keep your chin up high” Then she slid through clean with that cold-eye vibe I ducked real low, let the words get cut Three hearts racing when the van rolled up We don’t do talk, we do final calls One bad move and the whole night falls Heard the back room scream, heard the chain-link ring Then the alley went dead when the church bells sing Don’t act brave When the red beam plays Hands stay up Or you meet that fate Count them steps Hear that floorboard crack One wrong move Ain’t no taking it back All black, no peace All black, no sleep Mafia heat Mafia heat Run for the door Better stay out the street Mafia heat Mafia heat If I go down, I go with my name If I go down, I bring that flame Same cold stare Same old code Same red line At the end of the road All black, no peace All black, no sleep Mafia heat Mafia heat Run for the door Better stay out the street Mafia heat Mafia heat
