Closing In
Caino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never bow my head in defeat and
Never will my soul find peace
Always got my ear to the streets
Careful what you say when you speak
I feel the walls are closing in
I feel the walls are closing in

Trying to stay one step ahead
1 ride to the side blown leaf off the ledge
Cold sheets on the bed never sleep I attend
Broken lease on life cause I'm late with the rent
Never get a break never stumble never shake
Let the door close behind me walk forward toward fate
I'm a sword unsheathed always land on my feet
Four more short weeks and my boy gets released
Then it's back to the planning gotta do damage
They ran down the spot While it's hot gotta manage
Switch up the frequency it must have been a leak
I see the lights inside the rear view but they don't even peep
Don't make a peep just let them pass
Head laid on the dash dump the phones in the trash
Stuff the duffel full of cash and I'm out
Flight headed down South guess the walls closing in gotta find a way around it

Never bow my head in defeat and
Never will my soul find peace
Always got my ear to the streets
Careful what you say when you speak
I feel the walls are closing in
I feel the walls are closing in

Take a look behind there's nothing but trouble
Vision getting thin like a tunnel
Try to zero in gotta focus feeling them surrounding me like locusts
And I can't stop no I can't stop cause every second being watched
I know I gotta stay unseen but I feel them closing in on me
But there's always an escape
And I know they're getting desperate trying to wait for a mistake
Play the long game it's an off day
Gotta get the fam from out of harm's way
Back on the road nothing left gotta pack up and go
Trying to snatch back my soul but I'm deep in the hole
Hear their feet getting close I'm fatigued but I'll sleep when I croak

Never bow my head in defeat and
Never will my soul find peace
Always got my ear to the streets
Careful what you say when you speak




I feel the walls are closing in
I feel the walls are closing in

Not Sure

@ninjanizzle Your statement is unbelievable. When somebody screams 'no no no', it is usually in their last pleading moments in life.

A smackie or injecting coke-head, overdosing, would feel nothing but euphoria whilst 'on their way out', which is why we medicate as such in hospices. Ginger was pleading for her life.

If everyone trusted the government / coroner, then why do I hear of such distrust in our gov, and their 'agencies', and thus why did Sam have another autopsy performed, and therefore why did he come to the conclusion that she had been 'given a hot dose', and not merely 'overdosed'.

I'm aware of murder cases here in the UK, whereby dealers bumped off another, by giving a similar 'dose'. System just logs another overdose and says 'next'. Which is exactly what these monstrous criminals knew would happen. But Sam knew better.

And so do I. I've never known of someone to die snorting cocaine. Not, ever.

Stay away from drugs kids...

Classic Scorsese. One of the best sequences in his career.

JOHN RICHARDSON

@Donna Moncrief it was far from a masterpiece, it was a 6/10 movie at best

No Bull

That film was poor. Actors beyond their prime. Come on!!

The McWhopper

This has got to be the most accurate portrayal of what hitmen are like. They are not martial arts experts and supreme marksmen. They are not these roided one man armies. They can appear as regular as old greeseballs who happen to lack any conscience and will shoot you pointblank in the face

Point A2B

@ValdieMan None, he is trying to impress people he doesn't know on Youtube lol.

Jonathan Ramos

Cartel hitman or sicarios tend to be ex police and military or sometimes just street thugs with machine guns

ValdieMan

How many hitmen have you met?
