[Verse 1] You got a grievance, you got a bone to pick The air is heavy and the tension’s getting thick But keep your eyes on the man who did you wrong Don’t drag the innocent into your bitter song If you go hunting where the family fires burn You’re lighting a fuse for a fire that will return. [Chorus] Don’t cross that line, don’t walk that slippery slope Once you’re in the dark, there ain't much room for hope The Golden Rule—yeah, the law remains the same Don't put a target on a peaceful family name What goes around, comes back to your door Don't start a war that your kin has to pay for. [Verse 2] The law is a hammer, let it fall where it’s due Hold 'em accountable for what they put you through But if you punish the mother or the child for the sin You’re opening the gates and letting the devil in If everyone’s family is "fair game" in the fight Nobody’s sleeping through the middle of the night. [Bridge] Think of your own house, think of your own blood Would you want them drowning in this rising flood? Cruelty ain't justice, and vengeance ain't right When you’re striking at shadows in the dead of the night. [Chorus] Don’t cross that line, don’t walk that slippery slope Once you’re in the dark, there ain't much room for hope The Golden Rule—yeah, the law remains the same Don't put a target on a peaceful family name What goes around, comes back to your door Don't start a war that your kin has to pay for. [Outro] Let the law do the work... Keep the circle small... What goes around... comes around.
