(Spoken word intro)
I see the tears, feel the pain.
Fire in your eyes, ready to burn his name.
Before you load that steel... let me drop some truth.
This ain't about excusin'. This is about healin'.
(Chorus)
Don't put that bullet in the chamber,
Don't sharpen up the knife
Before you take his life, try to understand his life
It's a symptom, not the cause
Before you end it all, girl, just... pause.
(Verse 1)
First reaction is the fury, ultimate betrayal.
Send his soul to hell, no bail.
Picturing the lies, the tangled sheets.
Disrespect so deep, a terminal disease.
Vengeance is a poison you drink and hope he dies.
Steals the light right from your eyes.
(Chorus)
Don't put that bullet in the chamber,
Don't sharpen up the knife
Before you take his life, try to understand his life
It's a symptom, not the cause
Before you end it all, girl, just... pause.
(Verse 2)
Not sayin' what he did was justified.
A real man communicates the demons inside.
A man gets lost, seeks a shallow fix.
Temporary comfort for a soul full of splits.
Felt invisible? Not a king, just a castle wallet?
Just routine and constant deflation?
I'm just askin' questions, diggin' for the root.
A happy man don't go huntin' for new boot.
Seekin' validation, feedin' a starvin' ego.
A coward's move, the logic is ill, I know.
Find the *why*. For you. For your peace. For your power.
Stand tall, regardless, in your final hour.
(Bridge)
The strongest move ain't violence, it's valor.
Look him in the eye, no scream, just calm candor.
"You broke this. Why?" Let the silence hang.
Make him face the emptiness from which his weakness sprang.
Claim your respect. Not by takin' his last breath.
By makin' him confront the spiritual death.
A queen. Act like one. Grace under the fire.
Let your dignity elevate you even higher.
(Chorus)
Don't put that bullet in the chamber (nah),
Don't sharpen up the knife (for what?)
Before you take his life, try to understand his life (understand)
It's a symptom, not the cause (not the cause!)
Before you end it all, girl, just... pause.
(Outro)
Killin' him makes you a murderer.
Understandin' him? That makes you free.
Free to leave with your head high.
Your self-respect is worth more than his life.
Choose your power. Choose peace.
One love.
