Luck's on your side, you're feeling yourself huh, fucker that about enough
Well, guess what fucker?
Fucker try and game me, then

Don't make me make this about you, fucker
Try and tame me I dare you
Try and tame me how you dare you

Try and tame if you're so sure
Ain't dead or alive, ain't wore this floor
My floor tremble your voice
Silencer

I make no excuses, just fucking noise
Try and tame me, maybe not up to you because




Can't tame me, I'm proof of
Fuck you gonna do, scream?
