The Fire

if you think I care
I don’t
and if you think I’m waiting
well, I won’t  
I see you creeping like a snake though
waiting to strike any minute
not going to fall for it girl
tasted your venom before
and how does it go?
fool me once shame on, who?
fool me twice it’s twice the fuck you!
moving on…

don’t say I’m an angry man
I give more love then I get
but you know I have to speak my mind
so fuck a guy trying to step up
saying his bitch don’t want me
even though she flirts with me
I grew up street, come fight me
off the ropes swinging so crazy
wasn’t interested in that ho anyway

I got one good girl
don’t need any others
still I respect my ladies
the ones beautiful and refined
and if they can find redemption in me
well, that’s my drive
but always those temptresses
who want to see a good man fail
trying to fuck with his head when he’s just trying to chill
and I get eyes rolls when I got my finger to the sky
screaming I could give a fuck about a critic
respect given when respect given
and if you don’t get it then you just don’t get that

I cherish what I have to the grave
but when you open up
fuck you is the only thing that keeps the haters off
and I’m trying to be nice
not trying to react to it
but when a man needs to be a man
I’m a fucking wolf ready to tear into that ass

no excuse, no sorry
if you can’t stand the fire
get the fuck back
