Jacknife

You said to me no, I wasn't good enough
Couldn't make it all the way high
How could it be now

I thought I have what it takes to do my own style
Call me a dreamer
But dreams can come true and I knew
Knew not to believe you and I flew
Away from the flock
Now you can't stop me
No one can stop me
Try as hard as you like
Might give me something solid to bite
You keep me motivated

Now when I think of you my fists get ready to fight
And I'm on tonight

Grab a hold of my soul
Yes I take it everywhere I go
And oh na na

When you're hating
You can slow up 'cause you're just motivating

No, you could never be the one to take all
If the day come I know God come call
Strike you down proper now once and for all
At the call of the people then the people come call
Wish to your hiding place come from afar
Thought you were smart but we are smarter
Never thought I'd catch up then I did
Jackknifed you up

I had a dream
A dream to attain certain things
To live my life free
Be at peace with everything
A higher ground brings you down
Face the floor 'til you can taste it
Hard to admit nothing you do can stop the pacing
Even if I was to never breathe again
You'd be on someone else's dick as soon as you can
Understand let me make myself perfectly clear

I used to love her but she doesn't know I'm here
Say what you want, who you are, it's your thing
Sit back, relax, wait for troops to call in

And then again let's get back to the basics
What was it you did that gave me so much inspiration?
Let's not pretend that we were ever real friends
What we ever had then was worth all this tension
In your heart I know you think you'll be the winner in the end
I hate to be the one to tell you but you better think again

'Cause no, you could never be the one to take all
If the day come I know God come call
Strike you down proper now once and for all
At the call of the people then the people come call
Wish to your hiding place come from afar
Thought you were smart but we are smarter
Never thought I'd catch up then I did
Jackknifed you up

You don't believe in me
Get me if I got me
Your whole crew tried to knock me

Couldn't knock me down
My heart is solid just like rock me
Stood my ground
I do it all the time
Living out of bags just to leave you all behind
I tried and you tried to light the damn fire
But I couldn't see no burning desire
And even back then were you pretending?

Not sure if I can call you a friend
But feel free to lay your burden

I got an ear you're just for listening
I can give it up but let's be real clear
You could've had it all but your heart was ruled by fear
So what can I tell you?
No, I cannot hold you
No, just like I told you
You can come around but you can't get any closer

No, you could never be the one to take all
If the day come I know God come call
Strike you down proper now once and for all
At the call of the people then the people come call
Wish to your hiding place come from afar
Thought you were smart but we are smarter
Never thought I'd catch up then I did
Jackknifed you up

Yes I will be polite and smile to your face but
You can never get closer, closer, closer, no
And I will smile to your face but
You can never get closer, closer
You'll never get closer
