Statik Selektah - I Hear Footsteps lyrics

[Hook] This is a warning, that you need to take into Otherwise the consequences that'll leads to Cold sweats that'll feel like a steam room And dark nights that you probably won't sleep through [Verse 1] Just when you think you about to call it a night You get a funny feeling that something ain't right Because all the way home with your son and your wife You realize this game have to come with a price So payback's a b**h when you caught in the life And the Lost and the Damned cut you off with the bikes That's how it goes when you caught in the hype And now your worst nightmare's coming to life Because they tip, toe, real, slow And you can hear the screams through your window How they even get up on your whip? Whoa! Until you take it off like a strip show [Hook] I hear footsteps, coming up the stairs I turn around but no one there I hear footsteps coming up the stairs I turn around but no one there I hear footsteps coming up the stairs I turn around but no one there I hear footsteps coming up the stairs I turn around but no one there [Hook] [Verse 2] Just when you said you quit the game if you could The homies won't holler that you left them for good And you thought it would be calmer in this neck of the woods So if you could get a weapon and some armor you should Because now you got decisions that are hard to avoid The good night sleep that you used to enjoy Has been interrupted by a startle of noise That lurks in the dark and won't respond to your voice Because they tip, toe, real, slow And lift up the screen to your window How they even find out where you live? Whoa! They want the best scheming from the get go [Hook] [Hook] [Verse 3] Just when you thought you put the past behind you News flash, it's right behind you In a black mask breathing hard to find you And that's when the feelings in your heart to find you Is you going to let them run up in your crib? And put the gun up to your kid? Well if that's the way it is, you can push to the limit Till something's got to give Because they tip, toe, real, slow And lift up the screen to your window Guess who's waiting for them in the crib, whoa! And his trigger finger's about to let the clip go [Hook] I hear footsteps
