Got to stay inside while the sun don't shine
Because they're watching you
Night time frees the vibe
This neighbourhood's alive
Peeking through the blinds
At the enemy lines
It's the world vs. you
Keep those senses keen
Next stop amphetamine
You got to watch yourself
Ain't no one else watching you
You got to feed those fears
Subtly because every one derives from truth
In a moments time
You could catch a crime
And innocence becomes your noose
Windows getting barred
Got a pit in the yard
It's security
Paranoia strikes
Better check those dead bolts twice
Confined, abstained
You've locked yourself away
Stranded in a cliché
There's a sacrifice in upbringing
Do you compromise because it's cheap?
Are they safe inside?
Safe from the streets
There's a compromise in settling
Do you call it home or retreat?
Are you safe inside?
Safe from the street
All in all, you're settling for hell
Down there it's hell
