So don't you tell me, I'm not listening
Don't claim I'm not paying attention; I've heard it before.
I've already heard it
I've already heard your statements.
You better watch your back
Be cautious; there might be consequences.
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm ready to confront you, repeating the intent multiple times.
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
