about

Dedicated to Arthur Wally Smith & Darryl D. Hobdy.

"This song is about the destructive cycle of paranoia and toxic masculinity that black men endure and are often forced to embody as a consequence of existing under a constant threat of violence. It was inspired by the lives of our respective father figures." ~ Bathe

lyrics

Verse 1:
Guess you thought I was a sure shot
You never see me out on your block
How wrong

Caught your shadow at the bus stop
Bet your not ready for
What I got

Chorus 1:
What I got
What I got
What I got
What I got

Verse 2:
Guess you thought I was your best shot
(I bet you thought…)
Just like them n****s on my cell block
Come on
You pulled up on me near the drop spot
Bet you’re not ready for
What I got
(bet you weren't ready for…ready for)

Chorus 2:
Oh…
What I got
(Or what I'll take)
What I got
(Or what I'll take…you aint ready for…)
What I got
(What I'll take)

Outro:
What I got
What I got
What I got…

Is a Sure Shot
A Sure Shot
A Sure Shot

What I got
What I got
What I got…

Is a Sure Shot
A Sure Shot
A Sure Shot
