Shoot to Kill

One time you said to me
We two could never be
This whole relationship's a goddamn calamity
Sometimes you take the pill
Sometimes you drink the swill
Life's a bitch that's why you always shoot to kill

I never wanted anything more than what I had to work for
I gave you everything that I had but still you needed so much more
You tried to convince me to stop but your intervention failed
You wanted me to be something I'm not but you best believe that ship has sailed

That's when you said to me
Your dreams will never be
This whole mentality's a goddamn catastrophe
Sometimes you man the grill
Sometimes you pay the bill
Life's a bitch that's why you always shoot to kill

You work your fingers down to the bone just a puppet for the system
You're chasing something to have and to hold take the shots but somehow always miss them
It's time to stand up for yourself time to hold your head up high
Follow your dreams and live for yourself don't waste another day on a goddamn lie

You glared and said to me
Back to reality
The way you're living is a full blown tragedy
Sometimes you clean the spill
Sometimes you chase the thrill
Life's a bitch that's why you always shoot to kill

So don't give up on your life now
If I told you once I told you a thousand times before
Don't you dare throw in the towel
It's time to pick yourself up off the kitchen floor

That time you said to me
We two could never be
This whole relationship's a goddamn calamity
Sometimes you take the pill
Sometimes you drink the swill
Life's a bitch that's why you always shoot to kill

That's when you said to me
Your dreams will never be
This whole mentality's a goddamn catastrophe
Sometimes you man the grill
Sometimes you pay the bill
Life's a bitch that's why you always shoot to kill
