EVERY PREY
Ola Onabule © 2010

Damn! Did it again
I know if things go on this way, I'm gonna falter
I keep tryin' to hold it way down at my end
But you won't seem to play your part ...it's started to matter

I stretch my range extend my scope
But give some people too much rope
They're gonna hurt someone or tie loose ends together
But soon my hour of reckoning
and retributions beckoning
If you ain't keeping up your guard,
I think you ought ta

Some joker's always trying to get away, with!
Playing your mind all night and day, As if!
You're like the poster boy for every prey
If you're gonna make those tables, just Turn!
You gotta shake that label, and learn!
That you're the hunter born for every prey
Only way you got a prayer

Damn! Don't have a chance
Guess I'm that way too easy guy, that makes a bad fighter
I tell my self it's just my positive stance
But I know deep down I'd do ice if you wanted fire

I need to sweep those thoughts aside
When confrontation won't run and hide
Work some hutzpah up and brace for stormy weather
And soon my hour of reckoning
and retributions beckoning
If you ain't keeping up your guard,
I think you ought ta
Some joker's always trying to
get away, with...

If you don't believe in this boy you're gonna suffer
If you don't subscribe to this Dude, you're gone suffer
