[Verse 1] You tell me not to rush They say it will be fine Sometimes urgency turns to emergency When it’s a life that’s on the line So I keep my little candle lit, Nah I don’t neglect or abandon shit. A bad teacher is the problem? Not the student that couldn’t handle it. We might not see eye to eye But the point ain’t to make you feel small It’s just maybe in what you dislike is your problem But hey 🤷♂️ I guess you just know it all [Pre-Chorus] Though I swing my sword This is a parry not a Prost Perhaps I’d understood your terms, Conditioning, if I was still spiraling and lost. [Chorus] Don’t talk to me like you don’t already know I laid my life up on the cross So en garde! Too pay! This a critical hit! [pause] —Repaused! Don’t talk to me like you don’t already know I laid my life up on the cross So en garde! Too pay! This a critical hit! [pause] —Repaused! [Verse 2] You want me calm when the room is burning You want me soft when the blade is turning I learned the hard way, not the easy lesson Every bruise got a name, every test a question And I don’t need praise for standing here I don’t need grace with a hidden fear If you came to judge, then judge the scars I was made in the break, not the polished parts [Pre-Chorus] Though I swing my sword This is a parry not a Prost Perhaps I’d understood your terms, Conditioning, if I was still spiraling and lost. [Chorus] Don’t talk to me like you don’t already know I laid my life up on the cross So en garde! Too pay! This a critical hit! [pause] —Repaused! Don’t talk to me like you don’t already know I laid my life up on the cross So en garde! Too pay! This a critical hit! [pause] —Repaused! [Bridge] Maybe I’m sharp because I had to be Maybe the wound is what you can’t see Say what you want when the lights go low I’m still here, and you already know Nothing made me happier than when I saw you shine. I only speak of possession when I can claim a friend is MINE. I know you weren’t fighting me You were tryin to fight my foundation You only have an idea of where I stand No Not the correlation. [Final Chorus] Don’t talk to me like you don’t already know I laid my life up on the cross So en garde! Too pay! This a critical hit! [pause] —Repaused! Don’t talk to me like you don’t already know I laid my life up on the cross So en garde! Too pay! This a critical hit! [pause] ——— —Repost! [outro] One final joke. And I will say it like this ——— There’s two patients in the lobby… two already fell… Yeah I’d rather die again… Than let a friend Idly go to hell.
