Air Forces Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't crease your air forces
Just stay inside tonight
You know what's happening outside
You say it's okay
But you tucked your chain
Like if they take it
I won't see you for a while
And I tell you how I feel
In case it's the last time
You know the odds, you know the flaws
It's all by design
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll go anywhere, though it ain't safe
Just know that I care, I'll always care
And I'll be awake
[Chorus]
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
[Break]
[Verse 2]
And all these intersections
Where we've been kept and left in
I wonder why God keeps us alivе?
To what are we evеn destined?
Where we have wives and children
Or is that not written for you and I
You know they want what's yours
And they want what's mine
And if we're too holy, they think we're folding
They don't want us to climb
Don't crease your air forces
Just stay inside tonight
You know what's happening outside
You say it's okay
But you tucked your chain
Like if they take it
I won't see you for a while
And I tell you how I feel
In case it's the last time
You know the odds, you know the flaws
It's all by design
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll go anywhere, though it ain't safe
Just know that I care, I'll always care
And I'll be awake
[Chorus]
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
[Break]
[Verse 2]
And all these intersections
Where we've been kept and left in
I wonder why God keeps us alivе?
To what are we evеn destined?
Where we have wives and children
Or is that not written for you and I
You know they want what's yours
And they want what's mine
And if we're too holy, they think we're folding
They don't want us to climb
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll go anywhere, though it ain't safe
Just know that I care, I'll always care
And I'll be awake
[Chorus]
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake (I'll be)
I'll be, I'll be awake
I'll be awake
[Break]
[Outro: Puffy L'z]
You see a couple kids runnin' around, playing games
The dope boys ridin' around, ridin' bikes
Then you see obviously mans comin' over at the green box
Just crackin' jokes, kickin' up
And you'll go anywhere, though it ain't safe
Just know that I care, I'll always care
And I'll be awake
[Chorus]
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake (I'll be)
I'll be, I'll be awake
I'll be awake
[Break]
[Outro: Puffy L'z]
You see a couple kids runnin' around, playing games
The dope boys ridin' around, ridin' bikes
Then you see obviously mans comin' over at the green box
Just crackin' jokes, kickin' up
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Air Forces can be interpreted from Mustafa’s point of view but also the point of view of mothers of children in the hood. These mothers stay awake at night when their children are outside and only rest peacefully when they return home safe. They know and understand it is not safe outside due to the violence that occurs where they are from.
