Tear It Down
Cris Hodges Lyrics

See my reflections in the water
I observe and contemplate upon my own presence and actions, like the image reflected in water.

Lit with a shaded hue
The reflection carries a subtle tint, symbolizing the complex emotions associated with self-reflection.

Lead that bull to the slaughter
Manipulate and guide the unaware and unsuspecting individual towards their downfall.

Yea If he only knew
If only that person had awareness or understanding of the impending consequences.

Don't that role feel so good?
Doesn't it bring satisfaction to assume a particular position or character in society?

Just own it
Embrace and take full responsibility for that role.

A good step above the cut
Exceeding expectations and surpassing the norms or standards.

A cold kill to move your luck
A calculated act to improve one's fortune, regardless of the emotions or well-being of others.

And I bet it's fun, I don't doubt it
It is highly likely that engaging in such behavior brings pleasure and enjoyment without any hesitation.

But If I see you steal more to build your crown
However, if I witness you continuously taking from others to strengthen your own position or status,

I'll just have to tear it down
I will be compelled to dismantle and destroy the foundation of what you have built.

See these infections taking longer
These negative influences and corrupt practices are persisting for an extended period of time.

To heal that surface wound
Attempting to address or fix the superficial damage caused by these infections.

Leave that scrap for the pauper
Abandon the insignificant remains for those who possess little wealth or power.

Give the gold to the royal blue
Allocate the valuable resources to those who possess superior status or importance.

Tear it brick by brick
Slowly and methodically deconstruct and dismantle the structure or foundation piece by piece.
