The Take
Unveiling Betrayal: Swamp Stank's Raw Take on Deceit and Retribution
Lyrics
So I heard you wanna take my place
Addressing the desire of someone to take the speaker's position or role.
So why don't you say it to my face
Challenging the individual to confront the speaker directly about their intentions.
So I hear you wanna do me wrong
Acknowledging the awareness of the intention to harm or betray the speaker.
By taking all of my goddamn songs
Accusing someone of attempting to take credit for the speaker's creative work.
I'll let your silly little wish come true
Expressing a willingness to let the other person's negative desire come true.
Don't worry, this songs all about you
Confirming that the song is specifically dedicated to addressing the person's actions.
And I'll take my time
Emphasizing a deliberate and measured approach to responding to the perceived threat.
Ripping you apart with your pride to start
Describing the process of dismantling the person emotionally, starting with their pride.
It's my agenda
Stating a personal agenda or plan for dealing with the situation.
Why is this man so soft
Questioning the strength or resilience of the person being addressed.
Put him on the cross
Suggesting a harsh punishment or consequence for the person's perceived weakness.
You call those your words
Criticizing the person's spoken words as ineffective or inconsequential.
Might as well call you a hearse for what I'm about to do
Threatening severe consequences, comparing them to a hearse, for the forthcoming actions.
You think you know me boy
Challenging the person's claim to know the speaker well.
So you call those dick skinners "fists"
Mocking the other person's fists as ineffective or weak.
Because mine are up and calling quick
Asserting the readiness of the speaker's fists to confront and respond quickly.
Why don't you try and find out
Encouraging the person to test the speaker's capabilities.
What is truth and what are lies
Raising the question of distinguishing between truth and lies.
All the fucking time I get the same old stare
Expressing frustration about receiving a consistent negative reaction from others.
Like I'm not allowed to breath in your air
Feeling restricted or unwelcome in a particular environment.
Why don't you try something different
Suggesting the need for the person to try a different approach.
Than doing what I did when you were so narcissistic.
Reflecting on the person's past behavior characterized by self-centeredness.
And I'll take my time
Reiterating the intention to take time in the process of responding.
Ripping you apart with your pride to start
Continuing the theme of breaking down the person emotionally, starting with their pride.
It's my agenda
Restating the personal agenda or plan for addressing the situation.
Why is this man so soft
Reiterating a perception of the person as emotionally vulnerable or weak.
Put him on the cross
Repeating the suggestion of a harsh consequence for the person's perceived weakness.
You call those your words
Reiterating criticism of the person's words as ineffective.
Might as well call you a hearse 'for what I'm about to do
Repeating the severe consequences for the person's anticipated actions.
You think you know me boy
Repeating the challenge to the person's claimed understanding of the speaker.
Is there anything you can do
Pondering the person's abilities and self-reliance.
With out someone guiding you
Questioning the person's independence and decision-making capabilities.
Holding your hand, claiming you're a man
Criticizing the person for relying on others and still being deceitful.
Backstabbing mother fuckers
Expressing frustration with individuals who betray trust.
I'll say it once more
Repeating the message that the person is not needed by the speaker.
And I'll say it again
Emphasizing the speaker's independence and lack of reliance on the person.
You don't need me
Reiterating the idea that mutual need is absent in the relationship.
And I don't need you
Asserting independence and lack of dependency on the individual.
