Alex Shelnutt - Show 'Em The Ropes lyrics

[Intro] Just hold your breath To make sure you won't wake up again Cause you ruined my 04 That's the best that I could hope for To watch you fall apart from the inside We're gonna spread it to the world To the world About how you lied How you lied [Verse 1] A free lesson on growing up Never trust anyone to the point Where your backs exposed Every person I've ever known was a fake And you'll see your closest ones go first Who needs enemies you've got friends [Bridge] I'm a gentleman and you're a liar I expect the best of you but it's so hard But it's so hard I'm a gentleman and you're a liar I expect the best of you but it's so hard But it's so hard [Chorus] Let's start over When we reach the top we'll watch you bury yourself This wasn't easy It wasn't easy Let's start over When we reach the top we'll watch you bury yourself This wasn't easy It wasn't easy [Verse 2] A free lesson on growing up Make the best of their worst And never compromise what you feel is right I make a point to be powerful when I speak Be the one that gives them nightmares when they sleep Never back down from anyone [Bridge] I'm a gentleman and you're a liar I expect the best of you but it's so hard But it's so hard I'm a gentleman and you're a liar I expect the best of you but it's so hard But it's so hard [Chorus] Let's start over When we reach the top we'll watch you bury yourself This wasn't easy It wasn't easy Let's start over When we reach the top we'll watch you bury yourself This wasn't easy It wasn't easy [Outro] I watched the weight of your world Cave in to crush you I watched the weight of your world Cave in to crush you I watched the weight of your world Cave in to crush you I watched the weight of your world Cave in to crush you
