And all the words I said go into the divine
The blood that I shed will pay for my crimes
Can't go back and rewind the time
Bitches on my right bitches on my left
Psychologically damaging call me Macbeth
If you cross me there's two holes in yo chest
And all these tragedies is just causing me stress
If I end up dead it's perfectly fine
And all the words I said go into the divine
The blood that I shed will pay for my crimes
Can't go back and rewind the time
