lyrics

I’ve been prayin’ to the highest power while loading my gun, you said you want some
If you asked me 10 minutes ago I’d say, “go back to your home, go back to your Mom.”
But you hit me on a perfect occasion, my mood would be fine, if fists started flying
The stares caught me by both eyes, like sparks that ignite; there will be a fight

Show me all you got, you said you want to live
This will be the part I’ll show the mercy I could give
And if things[are] no longer swell, I’ll say goodbye but wish you well

And I’ll sing occasionally…

Two steps plus two more, you’ll be right at the door but feeling unsure
If he opens let him see your eyes, he’ll see what’s in your mind, he’ll be seeing you smile.
I’ve been prayin’ to the highest power while loading my gun, you said you want some
If you asked me 10 minutes ago I’d say, “go back to your home, go back to your Mom.”

Show me all you got, you said you want to live.
This will be the part I’ll show the mercy I could give
And if things[are] no longer swell, I’ll say goodbye but wish you well

And I’ll sing occasionally…

Show me all you got, you said you want to live.
This will be the part I’ll show the mercy I could give
And if things[are] no longer swell, I’ll say goodbye but wish you hell

And I’ll sing occasionally…

I’ve been prayin’ to the highest power while loading my gun, you said you want some
