[Verse 1]

Here's an open-ended threat

Subject to interpretation

But I don't want to fight just yet

I wanted to see what would happen


[Verse 2]

And maybe I don't know my place

Still thinking like a child

Only trying to shake this shadow

Squinting through a broken window


[Chorus]

Know who deserves it, who got there first

Who lied about it and made things worse

See, it don't matter, I've only begun

To confuse you, it's what I do


[Verse 3]

Here's an open-ended threat

To tip the balance we've been riding

With all this talk of honesty

I look and see who's really hiding


[Chorus]

Know who deserves it, who got there first

Who lied about it and made things worse

See, it don't matter, I've only begun

To confuse you, it's what I do


[Outro]

You deserve it, you got there first

I didn't make it and that still hurts

I could be floating or ready to explode

If I don't show, no one knows
