Caution Tape by Dead Air Syndicate

Caution Tape

[Intro]
Yeah…
Every morning the block speaks in yellow lines
Caution tape, life taught me early—danger signs

[Verse 1]
Wake up, sirens hummin’, another night gone wrong
Coffee cold, news loud, tragedy all day long
Corner boys hustlin’, some ain’t makin’ it home
Mama prayin’ silent, pain etched in stone
I seen the tape, yellow strip, wrapped around dreams
Blood in the street, hope torn at the seams
Every loss routine, but it hits like a blow
Another kid gone, another life on hold

[Hook]
Caution tape, block painted in pain
Wakin’ up to tragedy, streets never change
Normal to the loss, numb to the cries
Survivin’ the night while the fallen lie
Caution tape, lesson learned too young
Life on the block, bullets and tongues

[Verse 2]
Friends snatched too early, enemies still schemin’
I move through shadows, eyes wide, always dreamin’
Every corner a warning, every alley a tale
Life in the fast lane, balance on a rail
I see the grief, but I keep my heart tight
Numb to the chaos, tryin’ to survive the fight
Each morning I wake, another soul’s gone
Caution tape reality, still gotta carry on

[Bridge]
Yellow lines on the asphalt, warnings we ignore
Life moves fast, tragedy knocks at the door
Every loss a whisper, every scream a ghost
Caution tape teaches what hurts the most

[Verse 3]
I hustle to escape, but the block holds tight
Memories of fallen homies haunt every night
The routine of death, the streets’ cruel shape
Wake up, see the tape, another life at stake
But I grind, I survive, carry lessons in my chest
Hope tucked beneath sorrow, still reachin’ for the best
Caution tape on my block, but I won’t break
Life molded me hard, tragedy taught me awake

[Hook/Outro]
Caution tape, block painted in pain
Wakin’ up to tragedy, streets never change
Normal to the loss, numb to the cries
Survivin’ the night while the fallen lie
Caution tape, lesson learned too young
Life on the block, bullets and tongues
