Nicotine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have a gun to give you a shot
For your dirty tricks
It's hard to explain
This rage in myself
With your dirty tricks
I'm drivin' in my lane
Don't fuck with me this time!
No place to go 'n'
No place to hide
I'm right behind your back
Whazzzuup
Show me! Show me your faith
Show me your faith or die
Dirty! Oh, you are dirty
Fuck your dirty tricks

The other person has nowhere to go and nowhere to hide because the singer is right behind them. The singer asks the other person to show them their faith or die, indicating that they want some kind of explanation for the betrayal. The singer ends by calling the other person dirty and saying that they don't need their tricks.
