Lyrics
Just crawled out from the gunfire
Emerging from a conflict or intense situation involving gunfire
But I’ll never win in a gunfight
Expressing a belief in one's inability to succeed in a violent confrontation
'Cause you’re just like me
Acknowledging similarities with someone else
And I hate me
Self-loathing and dislike for oneself
So I hate you, you hate me too
Reciprocal hatred between the speaker and the other person
And that’s the motherfucking truth
Asserting that mutual hatred is the undeniable reality
Show me the proof
Requesting evidence or confirmation of a claim
I need to see it to believe it, yeah you’ve gotta fucking show me
Insisting on tangible proof to believe a statement
‘Cause I need a fucking handle just to handle you
Expressing the need for a coping mechanism to deal with the other person
All I know is hate
Stating a predominant feeling of hatred
All I know is pain
Emphasizing a prevailing sense of pain
All I know is truth
Asserting a commitment to truth
How ‘bout you
Challenging the other person's understanding of truth
I know that you like to do what you want to
Noting the other person's tendency to act freely
But it doesn’t matter what you do unless it is the truth
Highlighting the importance of actions aligning with the truth
What is the truth to you
Questioning the other person's concept of truth
If that’s the truth to you, then yeah bitch I won’t fuck with you
Declaring a refusal to associate with someone whose truth differs
Not fucking with you
Explicitly stating a decision not to engage with the other person
Said I’m not fucking with you
Reiterating the choice to avoid involvement with the other person
I won’t fuck with you
Confirming a commitment to non-engagement
Stay away
Expressing a desire for distance and separation
Stay the fuck away from me
Emphasizing the need for the other person to stay away
I want you to stay away from me
Reiterating the wish for the other person to maintain distance
You are dead to me
Declaring the other person as emotionally detached or estranged
Might not win in a gunfight
Recognizing potential failure in a violent confrontation
But I ain’t raise no quitter
Affirming a refusal to give up despite anticipated challenges
Just because you've stopped playing
Rejecting the idea that quitting the game means the end
Doesn’t mean the game is over
Asserting the continuation of the struggle even after stopping
Whether I go or I stay
Undecided about staying or leaving, but determined to fight
Whether I sin or I pray
Considering both sinning and praying, but committed to the fight
I’m fighting anyway
Resolute in the decision to fight regardless of circumstances
I'm fighting anyway
Reaffirming the commitment to fight despite challenges
