Always been a pistol.
Loaded.
So don’t you move.
Turns out it’s all about the dollars.
When I’m mad, you’ll know.
You will hear me,
and then you won’t.
Babe, are you feeling alright?
Trying to play catch up
you know how it ends.
Turn it into billions:
We. Go. Yeah.
Always been a pistol.
Cocked.
Like I knew what was coming next.
Turns out, it’s random chance.
I’m mad or I’m done
or I’m lying.
The boom starting it
with a fire in the background.
But I am a pistol
you better be careful.
I can be hard.
I can be cold.
But you do it to me.
A sick feeling to hurt the ones I want the most.
To make them pay; revenge for a lack of love.
