Might Just Take Your Life
Life's Gambit: Seizing More Than You Asked For
Lyrics
I got more than I asked for
I have received more than I initially requested or expected.
There ain't nothin' I need
I lack nothing; there is nothing I desire.
I took all till I had more
I consumed everything until I had an abundance.
I'm always takin' the lead
I consistently take the lead or initiative.
Old man shakin' dice down on the street
An elderly person is gambling with dice on the street.
Try'n to make a livin' somehow
Attempting to make a living in some way.
But I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
Confident about resolving things.
And I'm gettin' ready right now
Preparing and getting ready at this moment.
You can't hold me
Resistance to being restrained or controlled.
I have told you
Previously communicated and emphasized.
Might just take your life
There is a possibility of causing harm or trouble.
Might just take your life
Reiteration of the potential to take someone's life.
I've been called by many names
Various negative labels have been attributed to me.
And all of them are bad
All of these labels are unfavorable.
I can take it all the same
I can endure it without complaint; it's all I've ever known.
It's all I've ever had
Referring to the difficult circumstances as a constant companion.
I've got somethin' that you can't get
I possess something unique or special.
But one thing you can see
However, this unique quality is visible to others.
Gettin' there ain't easy
Achieving this state is challenging.
But it sure was hard for me
The journey was particularly difficult for me.
You can't hold me
Resisting attempts to be controlled or confined.
I have told you
A reaffirmation of a previous statement about resistance.
Might just take your life
The potential threat of causing harm or trouble remains.
Might just take your life
Reiteration of the potential to take someone's life.
Every time I take a look
Observing that someone is closely following or pursuing.
There's someone close behind
There is always someone in close proximity.
They never used to make a pass
In the past, they refrained from making advances.
The things that crossed their minds
Now, their thoughts have changed or become more intrusive.
Now they tell me that it's all right
Others now claim that everything is fine and want to befriend.
And they want to be my friend
Riding on my success, but questioning when it will cease.
They're ridin' on my back
Others are taking advantage or depending on me.
When is it goin' to end?
Expressing uncertainty about when the dependence will end.
You can't hold me
Reaffirmation of resistance to control or restraint.
I have told you
A repeated declaration of the resistance previously mentioned.
Might just take your life
The potential threat of causing harm or trouble is emphasized.
Might just take your life
Reiteration of the potential to take someone's life.
Might just take your life
Emphasizing the imminent danger of taking someone's life.
Got more than I asked for
Receiving more than initially requested.
Got more than I need
Having more than necessary or desired.
Got more than I asked for
Receiving more than initially requested.
Got more than I need
Having more than necessary or desired.
Got more than I asked for
Receiving more than initially requested.
