Death Around The Corner Lyrics

[Intro]
(FOREVEROLLING)

[Chorus: EST Gee]
Death around the corner, good thing I don't know where I'm goin' (I know where I'm goin')
Death callin' my phone, sayin' I owe him, I ignore him
'Cause I don't owe no nigga a quarter, take it if you wanna (Fuck outta here)
Better get out here and get on it, from the night time to the mornin' (Night time to the mornin')
I've been through it all (Through it all), nigga better not speak on what they saw (Shh)
Considerin' on what it cost to get this five, would you still risk it all? (You know what it cost?)
Considerin' I still made a million, tell me how I'm wrong
Would you still be happy for your dawg if you wasn't involved?

[Verse 1: EST Gee]
Would you in this shit if you still bеnefit after I'm gone?
I ain't cry, but if thеy cross that line, I got that Earth of mine
In that grass, hissin', missin' spines, snake is spittin' slime (Slime)
Honestly, it's just a state of mind I needed to survive (State of mind)
I'ma take your life 'for you take mine, every single time (Take your life)
I can't change my mind, the love I used to have been left behind
I don't think about it, I let it cross my mind, I peeped the signs (I peeped the signs)
And set the bait, soon as the cheese get ate, put the mouse in his place
You be in there wantin' to top my rank, somethin' I don't think
And I still show 'em love when I feel hate, guess it's just my thanks
Whisper when you speakin' on the great, words'll get you spanked
I'm runnin' 'round with somethin' to flip a tank, you better play it safe
[Chorus: EST Gee & Machine Gun Kelly]
Death around the corner, good thing I don't know where I'm goin' (Ayy)
Death callin' my phone, sayin' I owe him, I ignore him (Brr)
'Cause I don't owe no nigga a quarter, take it if you wanna (Fuck outta here)
Better get out here and get on it, from the night time to the mornin' (Night time to the mornin')
I've been through it all (Yeah), nigga better not speak on what they saw (Shh)
Considerin' on what it cost to get this five, would you still risk it all? (You know what it cost?)
Considerin' I still made a million, tell me how I'm wrong
Would you still be happy for your dawg? (Ayy)

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
I lost all of my emotions the minute I watched my father die in front of me
I had to take the knife out of my back from someone who was like a son to me (Fuck)
You know we keep the location on you, so it ain't a point in tryna run from me
I gotta lower the elevation, 'cause it ain't nobody that is up with me (Wooh)
I got residue stuck to my cup, what I'm sippin', thick as fuck (Woh)
I'm a chemist with this shit, I mix my opps into the blunts
I got dentists puttin' in platinum and some diamonds on my front (Eugh)
I'm in Texas, still tippin' off a four from last month (Yeah)
I let the top down in my hometown, just to let 'em know it's us
I'm like Barack now, I'm the president, and the squad can't be touched (Can't be touched)
I know the blogs loud with the keyboards, but in real life, they sus
They said I'm rock now 'til we rock out with the Glocks out
Let it buss (Boom), ayy

[Chorus: EST Gee & Machine Gun Kelly]
Death around the corner, good thing I don't know where I'm goin' (Don't know where I'm goin')
Death callin' my phone, sayin' I owe him, I ignore him (Fuck 'em, ayy)
'Cause I don't owe no nigga a quarter, take it if you wanna (Fuck outta here)
Better get out here and get on it, from the night time to the mornin' (Night time to the mornin')
I've been through it all (Through it all), nigga better not speak on what they saw (Shh)
Considerin' on what it cost to get this five, would you still risk it all? (You know what it cost?)
Considerin' I still made a million, tell me how I'm wrong
Would you still be happy for your dawg if you wasn't involved?

Genius Annotation

Including an especially aggressive, dynamic verse from Machine Gun Kelly, EST addresses their acceptance of mortality and his jadedness towards those harboring opportunistic motives in “Death Around The Corner;” an engrossing, negatively introspective track.

What did EST Gee say about "Death Around The Corner"?
Genius Answer

He reached out to me. He reached out to me because he had a show he was tryna get me to come out. I was doin' somethin', I couldn’t make it. And he was just like, “Man, I’m tryna work with you”. You know, just tellin' me that he like my stuff. And I was surprised, he was like, “Send me some music that’s your vibe”. So I just sent him some stuff and he sent that back like a couple days later. I ain’t think he was gonna do it, ‘cause he was on tour, I know he was busy. And he had sent it through. I think I had called him, he had sent it right through.
