(Verse 1) I'm sitting in my silent house And all I hear is my own mouth Talking to walls that don't talk back While you're out there with that rat That little prick that stepped on my toes Walked in my grass like he owns what grows Came into my world, took what was mine Now he's grinning, thinking he's fine But I see red — I see blood I see everything I could've done When I was good, when I was kind Now I'm just the storm you left behind (Pre-Chorus) You ran to my house when you needed a break I fed you, I fixed you, for goodness sake Talked you down from the ledge he pushed you toward Then you went right back — what was it for? Soon as you're full, you're back on his ass And I'm left here with the plate in my hand Wondering why I even gave a damn (Chorus) I see red, I see fire I see everything I desire Is to make him feel what I feel Make him know this pain is real You don't step on me and walk away You don't take mine and think it's play I'll make his life hell till he says goodbye Not with a weapon, not with a knife Just with the truth that I run this life He's in my hood, he's in my space And I won't stop till he's erased (Verse 2) So who is this clown that you picked over me? This bargain-bin shadow that nobody can see He walks through the door like he owns the room But even the walls are praying for gloom He's got a face that could stop a clock A voice that sounds like a broken lock He struts like a peacock but flaps like a crow He's not competition, he's not a threat He's just the cigarette you haven't quit yet (Chorus) I see red, I see fire I see everything I desire Is to make him feel what I feel Make him know this pain is real You don't step on me and walk away You don't take mine and think it's play I'll make his life hell till he says goodbye Not with a weapon, not with a knife Just with the truth that I run this life He's in my hood, he's in my space And I won't stop till he's erased --- (NICKI MINAJ FEATURE – rapid-fire, brutal) Hold up — lemme get this straight You left a queen for a clown with no plate? No job, no car, no face Rides a bike through the city — a disgrace Momma kicked him out — changed the locks and the gates Sleeping on floors with the roaches and rats No water, no lights, just a pile of mats Talkin' 'bout "bang me out" — boy, please You ain't got the juice, you ain't got the keys You ain't got a single thing that could please And let's talk about that mouth — or what's left No teeth, just gums — that's a theft You pop out them dentures at night Even the roaches take flight You ugly in ways that ain't even fair Even the dark won't cover you there You look like a mistake that God forgot To erase — now you're just a dot On the map of nobodies, a caution sign And the rumors? Heard 'em loud and clear About the things you do when nobody's near Young ones, innocent — that's the vibe You a predator — you can't hide From the truth, from the light, from the streets Everybody knows — you can't compete With a real one — so why you even try? You look in the mirror and start to cry 'Cause even your reflection wants to die So take your bike, take your floor Take your Bando, take the door Take your momma's rejection too She don't want you — and neither do I Now back to the queen — she got more to say --- (Bridge – main artist) I could be outside every day Make him feel uncomfortable in every way Not violent, just present So he knows he's never pleasant I'll be the shadow in his rearview The thing he can't escape or undo I'll show up where he shows up — quiet Make him nervous, make him riot Because you don't take from me — ever You don't think you're that clever I don't lose, I don't fold He can't have my peace, he can't have my name All he gets is my disdain (Verse 8 – to your ex) And you — you come running when it's cold When his warmth has turned to mold You show up hungry, tired, weak And I'm the one you come to seek I feed you, hold you, fix your crown Then you turn around and go back down To the gutter where he lives and breathes You cut me off when it was easy Then came back when you were queasy From his chaos, from his lies Now I see it through my own eyes (Final Chorus) I SEE RED, I SEE FIRE I SEE EVERYTHING I DESIRE IS TO MAKE HIM FEEL WHAT I FEEL MAKE HIM KNOW THIS PAIN IS REAL YOU DON'T STEP ON ME AND WALK AWAY YOU DON'T TAKE MINE AND THINK IT'S PLAY I'LL MAKE HIS LIFE HELL TILL HE SAYS GOODBYE NOT WITH A WEAPON, NOT WITH A KNIFE JUST WITH THE TRUTH THAT I RUN THIS LIFE HE'S IN MY HOOD, HE'S IN MY SPACE AND I WON'T STOP TILL HE'S ERASED TILL HE'S GONE TILL HE'S NOTHING TILL HE KNOWS HE TOOK FROM SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER HIS TO TAKE NOW HE'LL PAY FOR HIS MISTAKE (Outro) I don't even want you back I want you to know that I don't lose I don't get took from And when you look at that man you chose? Look at his face — a crime scene, a mess Look at his teeth — or what's left, I guess Look at his life — no water, no light Look at his momma — she gave up the fight You chose tha
