You Pushed a Button

I say "I'm leaving"

And she says: "Don't go..."

I say "Not like that

I'm just going to the grocery store."

She says "Okay

Can you please be safe?"

And that fills me full of rage

I say "I'm gonna die

I'm not coming back alive"

Your request to "please be safe"

Has pushed a button deep inside

Don't foist your fears on me

I can handle myself

Out in these streets

I satirically say:

"As soon as I step out back

I'll be shot to death

In a dog bite knife attack"

"Be safe", and from what?

I'd rather it be courageous

And do what must be done

Like if a guy goes and

Gets in your way

Don't you hesitate

To do what it takes

To survive

Cause if he threatens your life

You take his first

And then you wipe out

His entire bloodline

I'm not gonna die

I am coming back alive

Your request to please be safe

Just pushed a button deep inside

Don't foist your fears on me

But it's on me to be reassuring
