The Reason


So pucker up and kiss the ass that you would kill to kick. Because I hate to see you suffer, but it's the toughest of 

it that keeps my bones thick. I wonder what it takes to be a man. I take a look at my reflection, and then I look at 
you. I still don't understand. Suck it up and chill, the beat goes on and on, my friend. I know reality is a bitch, 
but buddy, where were you when she needed you then? Do I 
even have to say? Considering everything that you said but 
not once to me. If we're taking this to war, I sing a song 

of battle. I can feel it in my throat, but buddy I'm not wasting all my time. Until then, we've got a score to 
settle. Every promise that you broke will be the words you 
choke on. If you grow up, I'll watch my back if you watch 
where you spit. I'm the king of confrontation, but 
something tells me that you're just not worth it. So laugh 
it off or take your shot. The cuts can hurt so bad. I'm 
giving this the best I got, 'cause this is the best I've 
ever had... If anything should happen there's something you 
don't want to witness. This is passion. This is my gut 
reaction. If anything should happen, son, it's on. Don't 
you forget this. It's over. Watch your winter turn colder. 
It's over and your December is that much colder.
