You Got Me

One day you called me outside of my crib
I didn’t know why – O brother, you did
D’your skin need saving? I’d offer my own,
Do what I must do to keep you from harm
You knew I’d guard you from any misdeed
Surprise is easy when trust is complete

You got guts
You got nuts
You got me

A fall is one thing – just dust yourself off
There’s more to mourn when it feels like a shove
So much for hindsight, what else could you do
Sick of placing second... second out of two
Look where it's got you now, it ain’t much to see
Didn't Mama tell you how it all used to be?

Who got played?
Who got made?
You got me

One day you got me, well, I hope that you do
Family can’t make it with brothers like you
You don’t need to test it to see your blood fail
If they think it pays they’ll try to get you as well
Looks good on paper – In God We Trust
Preying on each other, how can God help us? 


When you’re one
Of just four
And you’ve gone
Straight to war
How’s it worth
Making more?
You got me 


I was not ready
I was not willing
I was not ready
I was not willing
