In My Way
The Judges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But when you do drugs, you get in my way
I'm not gonna waste my breath on you
I'll let your drugs run you through
The things I've been hearing are scaring me
A man made substance that sets your mind free
I can't believe you've gone back on your words
So what are you gonna do, be strong or fold?
Make the wrong choice, you'll do what you're told
I'm stepping back, and I'm gonna judge you
I hope that fucked up head can tell you what to do
I'm keeping it simple
And I'm keeping it clear
And I won't use words
'Cuz you're too fucked up to hear
The crew is strong
And we're setting it straight
And we'll be the judge
Of your fucking fate
You've lost my respect
And I've seen your worst
And I've seen your best
And I won't settle for anything less
I guess you can call me obsessed
You've lost my respect
You've lost my respect
You've lost my respect
Keep clear or take my best
