You try to hide the fangs
That lie behind your grin
But you can't deny the stain
Of red up on your chin
You're praying for an opening
To get to know me
And play to my emotion
Like a drum
You're aiming to control
And tie a rope around me
But I am not the one
I know you hope to find
A broken open mind
You cock the gun
You think that I don't see
What you pretend to be
But I'm not the one
I've taken the bait
Took a dip with a shark
Caught the bite of a snake
I got his head in a jar
They came in the night
Tried to pick me apart
Now you can turn out the light
And I can walk in the dark
You're praying and hoping
To play to my emotions
Tie a rope around 'em
And control me
You're faking a prophet
Wanna put me in your pocket
I'm a rock and you
Can never roll me
I know you hope to find
A broken open mind
You cock the gun
You think that I don't see
What you pretend to be
But I'm not the one
That you can feed the lies
Cause I can read the signs
You jumped the gun
If you go down that road
The one thing you should know is
I'm not the one
Look, I'm not the one
They should be messing with
I made all my enemies tap out
Including the demons I wrestled with
Fuck making a living, I cash out
And somehow I made it look effortless
I done been through it
But it didn't ruin me, nah
It only answered my question
Ignoring their messages
Focus on mine
Going for excellence
Double my grind
Nothing get by
When I open my eyes
And learned I don't need
No one there on my side
I know the difference
Between love and a lie
It's probably 'cause what I survived
The minute they try to get over me
That is the minute I sever the ties
I'm not the one
I know you hope to find
A broken open mind
You cock the gun
You think that I don't see
What you pretend to be
But I'm not the one
That you can feed the lies
Cause I can read the signs
You jumped the gun
If you go down that road
The one thing you should know is
I'm not the one
