Side Walk Slam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take from me while all I do is give
Chorus:
You say the odds are not
Not on your side
We'll that's a lie
We won't sit back and wait
We'll take this fight
Apologize is not in your vocabulary
You were never wrong
(Chorus)
Will you ever grow up
Or always be the same old kind
You'll never change
You're more than I can take

The individual takes advantage of the singer, constantly taking from them without reciprocating. The chorus addresses the person's defeatist attitude, claiming that they say the odds are against them, but that is no excuse to give up. The singer takes a stand and refuses to wait around for this person to change.
The second verse continues with highlighting the character flaws of the person in question.
