Lone Wolves

They put it on you to protect yourself

Velcro your vest 'cross your chest, grab your mace

You are the hardened steel they didn't even know that they forged

You act butch, pretend, hide yourself, you find your exits

And you work to improvise weapons

They don't care if you live, they don't care if you die

It's only ever been about control

Grip, Hammer

Trigger, Cylinder

Barrel, Muzzle

Bullet, Killer!

They never wanted you, they couldn't handle

Who the fuck you are. You call your girls, get dressed

Grab your cash, you don't deserve to die because you want

To drink and to d-dance. Are you preparing for the coming war?

Will you be ready to defend yourself? 'Cause they don't think you are

They don't care if you live, they don't care if you die

It's only ever been about control

Grip, Hammer

Trigger, Cylinder

Barrel, Muzzle

Bullet, Killer!

(Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot)

(Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill) (Because you had a)

(Crush, crush, crush, crush, crush, crush, crush, crush) (On a)

(Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl)

Another day when she wouldn't give you the time

Thinking "A black man took what should be mine"

Another boy grows up, is still a brat

A single mother gives in, she's tired as fuck

Then the analysts wonder if he got enough hugs

Another cycle of "too early to mention guns"

Yet another last breath let out of lungs

Yet another last breath let out of

Lungs!

Another femme is being lit

On the pyre

We gotta burn just because you

Are inspired

You really think you're the savior

That we all need? Like we can't see

You just wanna see us all
