Bully
Ari Zizzo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give it to me straight,
I don't like the way,
I'm anticipating my fate before it hits me,
Slaps me in the face,
What a disgrace,
Think I woulda let your words just hit me,
Sink me down,
Down into the deep,
Throw me,
Toss me,
Chuck me into the street,
I've walked to the rhythm of my own beat,
Until you came and knocked me straight off of my,
Feet, yeah.



I was not awhere,
That I could get so scared,
To think I'd even care that,
You wouldn't care ably me,
Well I do now,
But it's no doubt that you've been bringing me down,
And I don't wanna drown,
So keep the weight off,
Of my shoulders,
So throw your last Boulder at me,
But you know you're a bully,
You're fully a bully to me, yeah.

So while I may be young,
But you are too,
Yeah, it looks like you don't care what I'm going through,
You think I'm just some kid,
That doesn't wanna live,
That doesn't mean you can end my life for me,
Honestly I'm not lying to you,
When I say you are,
Something I've always truly feared,
It seems that you have made a real problem here,
By using your words to make my nightmares reappear, yeah.



I was not awhere,
That I could get so scared,
To think I'd even care that,
You wouldn't care ably me,
Well I do now,
But it's no doubt that you've been bringing me down,
And I don't wanna drown,
So keep the weight off,
Of my shoulders,
So throw your last Boulder at me,
But you know you're a bully,
You're fully a bully to me, yeah.

Give it to me straight,
I don't like the way,
I'm anticipating my fate before it hits me,
Slaps me in the face,
What a disgrace,
Think I woulda let your words just hit me,
Sink me down,
Down into the deep,
Throw me,
Toss me,
Chuck me into the street,
I've walked to the rhythm of my own beat,
Until you came and knocked me straight off of my,
Feet, yeah.

What to do now,
And it's no doubt that you've been bringing me down,
And I don't wanna drown,
So keep the weight off,
Of my shoulders,
So throw your last Boulder at me,

What to do now,
And it's no doubt that you've been bringing me down,
And I don't wanna drown,
So keep the weight off,
Of my shoulders,
So throw your last Boulder at me,
But you know you're a bully,
You're fully a bully to me,
Yeah,




Yeah,
