They promised drums when we die
But I ain't hear nothin but regret and rust
No drums in the afterlife just echoes of guilt
Coffins whisper secrets that preachers built
No dance no beat no fire to feel
Just silence loud enough to kill
Shhhhh
No drums
Only ghosts that hum
And angels that forgot where we from
I died in a zinc house with no rhythm
Crows outside preach louder than the system
My casket carved from pipeline boards
Nailed shut with verses that warlords ignored
Heaven closed its gates for maintenance
Hell too full so we built our own containment
I seen prophets buried with rusted teeth
No choir no djembe no spirit beneath
My tombstone say keep silent or die twice
I talk in smoke spit pain on cold rice
This afterlife feel like a bus stop stall
Full of dead boys still waitin on a call
No drums in the afterlife just echoes of guilt
Coffins whisper secrets that preachers built
No dance no beat no fire to feel
Just silence loud enough to kill
Shhhhh
No drums
Only ghosts that hum
And angels that forgot where we from
They told me the dead dance
But my grave cold and my shadow still wearin school uniform
Ain't no drums just rust just memory
