Not the one

Tried to tell ya, I ain't nothin' to play with,

But you had to mess around, now you facin' it.

Fool around, yeah, you had to find out,

Now the truth hits harder than a cattle shout.

Tried to warn ya, I ain't takin' no doubt,

You poked the bear, now the claws are out.

Mess with me, that's a dangerous route,

I told ya once, now you had to find out.

I tried to tell ya, I tried to warn ya,

Now the clock's tickin', fate's creepin' on ya.

I told you, boy, this ain't no game to play,

You messed with the wrong one, now you gotta pay.

Boots in the dirt, stompin' heavy like a stampede,

Heart full of thunder, revenge planted like a bad seed.

You lit the fuse, now the fire’s on the hillside,

Barrel hot, judgment’s ridin' on the flip side.

No fairytales here, just dust and smoke,

Tried to show mercy, but that bridge, you broke.

I warned ya once, I warned ya twice,

Now you're tangled up in a snake pit of your own device.

I tried to tell ya, I tried to warn ya,

Now the clock's tickin', fate's creepin' on ya.

I told you, boy, this ain't no game to play,

You messed with the wrong one, now you gotta pay.

Rattles in the wind, whispers in the pine trees,

Ghosts of my patience, gone where the crows feast.

Blood in the water, sharks circlin' the prey,

You had your chance, now debts don't delay.

The weight of regret, it’ll anchor you down,

Tried to swim with the sharks, now you're bound to drown.

No white flags, no saving grace,

You gambled with fire, now the flames embrace.

The warning was clear, written bold in the sky,

Now the reckoning's here, you can't run, don't try.

Tried to tell ya, I ain't nothin' to play with,

But you had to mess around, now you facin' it.

Fool around, yeah, you had to find out,

Now the truth hits harder than a cattle shout.

Tried to warn ya, I ain't takin' no doubt,

You poked the bear, now the claws are out.

Mess with me, that's a dangerous route,

I told ya once, now you had to find out.
