What your guns are for?
----------------------------------

It begins with a big bang boogie to bang
How a child became man but stayed the same
big dreams, big plans, hope joy and pain
It’s just part of the game
And that’s who I am
And I stayed in my lane just to keep me sane, from gutter to fame, don't pull the switch
I can go a hundred miles like Buddy Rich on the drum when I'm done
I leave some for each and everyone
So I come, with no gun
So you can follow
Live and let die that's my motto
You had to man up and stand up
and do what it takes
And had to put your weight in to control your fate
Reminiscing of your pops used to come home late
And every now and then you rewind the tape
Did a lotta shit so I can be what I be
But now look at me I’m a father of three
Free fall free
On a killing spree, flee
Now stop tell me what you see
what your guns are for?

Chorus:
---------
Shotfire shot that you missed
Love crushed love like a bug in your fist
From the abyss
Punch blind punch in the mist
Now deceased
You been kissed by the beast, by the beast

Shotfire shot that you missed
Love crushed love like a bug in your fist
Hat full of tricks
Feels like you lost in the mix
Before you shoot let me ask you this
What your guns are for?



Second verse
--------------
1, 2 if you please 3 drop to your knees 4
I better freeze or I gonna get my ass shot
You get tease by fake enemies now you can't find the exit door
Just in case leave a trace, slow down your pace
Leave one light on or you lost in this haze
Of shadows, the hallows sleep and they creep on corner of the street. 6 feet deep
Here I come full swinging,
Bare knuckles anarchy, to the head keep their ears ringing
I keep dig in searching for love and grace
Break the glass ceiling, in their face
Never say the fight is lost
Paid the price to be the boss
Until someone new come along and your name get crossed
So I guess you should have seen this will shatter your dreams
You know what I mean,
what your guns are for

Third verse
–----------
Now back to the bang boogie, boo I got you scared spooky, spooky had to maintain, had to shake it off
Mask got me insane had to take it off
Had to take it off
So I can be myself
And the self of the I might not live to tell
If I fall then I fell and I meet you in hell
You feed me crumbs
that's why I gotta be great
I'll be the first light to shine or forever be late
It’s a taste of this place burning under your skin
under a street light beam for the cream
Am I the real enemy, that be crawling into your fantasy
Or is your mind playing tricks and I'm free to go
What your guns are for cause we get old
Go with the flow just take it slow
It's your final call
Before the bullet takes toll
Let this tune just calm your soul
