Gut Check

"Go ahead, hero, pull the trigger"
"You got killer in your eyes, son? I don't see it"
A million miles an hour
A thousand degrees
Speed, heat, cash, and a bat to break knees
That's what you get when you step too far to go backwards
Even Mickey Mouse knows there's no happy after for ya
Nothing left to say
No one else to blame
You sat out, still caught a stray
Put to sleep by the ricochet
Too soft
Too weak
Not everyone can handle the heat
This is a credible threat
This is a gut check
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait one more minute
Let me catch you quick right before you leave
When you gonna admit that enough is enough
And that you're killing yourself by staying stuck in a rut
So you can hide it down deep
Sow what you reap
Don't cry to me 'cause you wanna be cheap
Never built the muscle
Couldn't carry the torch
You wanna piss like a puppy?
Stay on the porch
Are you in?
Or are you out?
You decide what's said about you when you're under the ground
Too soft
Too weak
Not everyone can handle the heat
This is a credible threat
This is a gut check
Too soft
Too weak
Not everyone can handle the heat
If that makes you upset, good
This is a gut check
I went all in on the bet
Even with a noose around my neck
If you can't relate
Then we're not the same
Then we're not the same
Let the blood flow through me
The pain leaves my body
Done reaping what I sow
I'm breaking through the seams
No more stepping back
I'm only going forward
I went all in on the bet
There's your gut check
