I see the sweat is dripping That's because you know just what I'm thinking Don't look back it's me who follows And there ain't nothing from me you can borrow You like to hide behind lies But we see through your disguise It's not a threat or a curse Just a proper verse I'm gonna make you let go Of what you tried to withhold And I can promise it won't be long Yes I can promise Boy, you better pray We don't seek you out, no You better pray You think the war is over I've only shown you the tip of the iceberg And you rely upon your lawyers But at night when you sleep does it bother you? You like to hide behind lies But we see through your disguise It's not a threat or a curse Just a proper verse I'm gonna make you let go Of what you tried to withhold And I can promise it won't be long Yes I can promise Boy, you better pray We don't seek you out, no You better hope We might lose control, no Is this good enough for you man? Boy, you better pray We don't seek you out, no You better hope We might lose control, no
