Lyrics
Let me tell you about it
Expressing the intention to share a personal experience or story
I wanna tell you about it
Reiterating the desire to share a story or experience
Let me tell you
Emphasizing the intent to communicate
I've been gone for so long
Acknowledging a prolonged absence
Just wanna sing, sing my song
Expressing the desire to sing and share one's own song
I know you've been hearin'
Acknowledging awareness of rumors or discussions about the speaker
Hearin' a lot of things about me
Recognizing that others have heard various things about the speaker
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know
Acknowledging understanding of the rumors or information circulating
I've heard, I've heard it all too clear
Confirming awareness of the information and rumors
This is what I am going to do, yeah
Announcing a decision or plan of action
I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold, hold on
Expressing the intention to hold onto one's pride
Hold on to my pride, my pride
Reiterating the commitment to maintain pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick
Expressing determination to stick to one's principles
I'm gonna stick to my guns, gonna stick to my guns, yeah
Reaffirming the commitment to stick to one's principles
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
Expressing readiness to take decisive action
I'm gonna pull it and we gon' see what the deal
Describing the act of pulling the trigger and facing consequences
I'm for real, I just wanna put it, put it on the line
Expressing authenticity and a willingness to be genuine
That's all I wanna do, I've gotta put it on the line
Stressing the urgency to be genuine and honest
And we haven't got much time
Highlighting the limited time available
I've gotta put it, put it on the line
Reiterating the commitment to be genuine and honest
Know what I'm talking 'bout this evening
Referring to the current situation or topic of discussion
Said I get to put it, oh, yeah, I've gotta put it on the line
Emphasizing the need to be genuine and honest
Listen to me
Requesting attention and focus
Said, I've got a bullet in the chamber
Metaphorically stating that the speaker is armed and unafraid
And I'm not afraid of the danger
Expressing readiness to face danger
I said, "We've gotta go down, down to the wire
Referring to a critical situation and a commitment to face it together
I'll go through the fire with you, kill and die with you"
Expressing loyalty and commitment to face challenges together
Said, "I know everybody watchin' me"
Acknowledging the awareness of being observed by others
"I said the pressure is on from every angle, political 2 personal"
Describing external pressures from various sources
Will I hang or be left hangin'? Will I fall off?
Pondering potential outcomes and uncertainties
Or will it be bangin'? And I say it's up to the man upstairs
Expressing a belief in divine influence or fate
I'm goin' to hold, hold on to my pride
Reiterating the commitment to holding onto pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick to my guns
Reaffirming the commitment to stick to one's principles
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
Expressing readiness to take decisive action
I'm gonna pull it and we gon' see what the deal
Describing the act of pulling the trigger and facing consequences
I'm for real, yeah, I just wanna put it
Emphasizing authenticity and a willingness to be genuine
Put it on the line, I've gotta put it on the line
Stressing the urgency to be genuine and honest
Somebody out there knows what I'm singin' about
Seeking support and connection from the audience
Would you help me sing the song
Inviting the audience to join in singing the song
Moment of truth
Acknowledging a critical moment and expressing optimism
I'm sure everything will be alright
Expressing confidence that everything will be alright
