Metaphorically of course.
lyrics
An eye for an eye, means no need to buy the ray bans,
We should make up, and I don't mean just shake hands,
Thought I was the hero, what happened to my cape man?
Chasing Louis Lane, but I'm in the slowest lane, damn
Where we at? I try to get my bearings
Oh yeah, still here, can't impress your parents,
What's under my suit?
Just the bulletproof vest i'm wearing,
Oops, I didn't mean to test your swearing,
But love's a battlefield, words tend to rattle shields,
Glad I got one, cos Dad's carry shotguns,
Rappers getting frowned upon, I'm say just a poet,
I give my heart, its precious cargo, stow it
Every single wound I have, I know that you can sew it
We laugh till we're in stitches, guess I hit the riches
Your better than all the other… (uh hum)
Women, men can never work em out
Even if we're gyming,
It was a losing game for Amy
Can you blame me
But i'm trying to be winning.
(sample)
Look Muz, whats your real game?
I should you call Christian, you never use your real name?
Mr butter wouldn't melt, from the button to the belt
Who never gave a fuck of what I felt,
That's what they used to say,
I was a youth okay, and it's all trial and error
My styles not new era, that's old hat,
I sold raps in student days, I love the feeling when my music plays
Back when cupid was shooting, hitting with stupid stray
Arrow-tips, for some narrow hips, shallow chicks,
Very skilled with magic tricks, oh yeah, they could vanish quick,
Reappearing in your mates flat, mess around, get your payback
Karma's so reliable, that's undeniable, whatever shit you try to pull
The trigger can backfire, turn the track higher
What you did in the past, live with it today,
What may seem sweet, has the bitterest taste,
All that glitters aint gold, diamonds aren't forever,
Turn a lesson to a blessing and be better together (x2)
