Lead

let me shoot it to you straight and
I've said all of this before... before
I would hate to pull the trigger,
but if harm is knockin' at my door... my door

an intruder breaks in, you dial 9-1-1
whatchu feel safer with - the telephone or a gun?
got kids in the house and a lady to protect
and it only takes a sec for a lunatic to flip
uncomfortable with trustin' my family's fate
to how fast the police can respond to the case
betta pick up the pace, ain't just gonna sit here and wait
and just in case they get here too late

I sleep with a 9 underneath my pillow
got a 12 gauge under my bed
so don't come in this house unannounced
or there might be lead flyin' at yo' head

in Texas, it's expected you have a weapon
but if guns murder people, all of mine are defective
around these parts, as far as I can tell
the Castle Doctrine will stay alive and well
love to hit the range, bust off a few rounds
of course, it's a sport, but just in case it goes down
I need a place with 3 safes, a shed full of ammo
closets filled with camo, on the edge of Midlo and
it's been expunged, so my record is clean
don't point your little judgmental fingers at me
ha... and if the zombie apocalypse comes
I'm postin' up with my Pops and triple-tappin' for fun

as wrong as it is, not a concern
break in my house, you get put in the dirt
God forbid they end up in a hearse
shoulda thought about that before crossin' the turf
deadly force is a last resort
what choice do I have if it's mine or your's
no price on how much a life is worth
think twice before you deny my words
