Modern Mafia Lyrics

Athlete

Tell me something I dont know
cause we've been there ten times before
Make it up as we go along
And we're n so deep it can't be wrong
It's obvious that

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us, they're scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes
This is modern mafia
They're scared of us, they're scared of us
I dont' want to be on my own
I need a home, I need a home

Theres a look that's in your eye
Dancing like a samurai
In silence you're still listening
Cause somewhere somethings happening
It's obvious that

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us, there scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes
This is modern mafia
They're scared of us, They're scared of us
I dont' want to be on my own
I need a home, I need a home

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us, they're scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes
This is modern mafia
They're scared of us, They're scared of us
I don't want to be on my own
I need a home, I need a home

This is modern mafia
They're scared of us, they're scared of us
It's time for us to redefine
So fix your eyes, fix your eyes
