Circle the Wagons
[Intro]
Circle the wagons
(Where are you? What’s going on?)
Circle the wagons
(I’ll be there in 20 minutes. Don’t talk to anybody)
Circle the wagons
(No, that’s fine. I’ll come get you. I’ll be right there)
Circle the wagons

(What did you do? What did you do?)
Circle the wagons
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Hey you my man so I understand but…(circle the wagons)
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Circle the wagons
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Hey you my man so I’mma lend a hand but…(damn)

[Verse 1: B. Dolan]
You know that self-preservation is a helluva drug
Once you've swallowed the red pill and held it under your tongue
You take a dose and make an oath up with your brothers in blood
Now that’s that powerful stuff that’s gonna getcha like love

We had a mishap at the bachelor party had to stash a body
And circle back to the wagons to practice matchin’ our stories (Sorry...)
Just drink this coffee, homie, we will getchu outta here
What are those? (Bloody clothes, murder weapon?)
Outta here

But do you ever think about if we’re the problem here?
Papa Bear told us we should close up ranks
I told ‘im hold up, no thanks
I need a moment to think
I’m prone to listen to victims, proceed to open this link

It seems we reason with our conscience when Rap Gods are monsters
But still hate cops who cover up for they partners
That’s easy to spot (and judging others is too)
Until your family’s in a panic and you come to the room
And ask ‘em

[Chorus]
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Circle the wagons
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Hey you my man so I understand but…(circle the wagons)
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Circle the wagons
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Hey you my man so I’mma lend a hand but…
[Verse 2: Sage Francis]
I did a thing, I did a bad thing
They brought me in and had me chattin’ with the captain (Fool, what’s happenin’?)
Circle the wagons, right? (Right)
Words I was rappin’ might have pinched a couple clowns in our circus of braggin’ rights (Like?)

Like whom, well I was hype off the fumes
You know I tends to go off once there’s a mic in the room (What is you writing, my dude?)
This? It’s a beeper number (What is this, the 80’s?)
Baby, trust you gonna need this number (Motherf…)

And I’d wager when the time is right you’ll beep this number
So just save it for later, maybe get yourself a pager
And a burner for mergers and acquisitions, no but for real
Nothin’ too suspicious cause I brokered a deal
But I didn’t openly squeal
They plugged me into machines (They probably weren’t even real)
What does real even mean? (You fucked up!)
That’s what I said to the rest of our crew
Cuffed up when I stepped out the interrogation room
They were like

[Chorus]
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Circle the wagons
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Hey you my man so I understand but…(circle the wagons)
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Circle the wagons
(What did you do? What did you do?)
Hey you my man so I’mma lend a hand but…(damn)
[Outro]
From the beginning to the end
I never break a friend
You know you always had my hand
You know you always had my hand
You know you’ll always be my man but…

From the beginning to the end
I never break a friend
You know you always had my hand
You know you’ll always be my man but…damn
