One Time to Show Out

Lyrics

[Intro] You get one time—understand? [Verse 1] You step in my space with a sideways grin, Say what you mean, don’t dress it thin. I keep my word, keep my boots on ground, But cross that line and I’m not stickin’ around. You had your shot, you know where I stand, No second warning, no outstretched hand. [Chorus] You ain’t got but one time to show out on me, One wrong move, I’m gone, let it be. I’ll leave you right there where you stand, God gives chances—I give lessons, man. You ain’t got but one time, better understand, God gives chances—I give lessons, man. [Verse 2] I don’t need a crowd just to say my piece, A calm voice carries when the noise don’t cease. I’ve seen big talk turn small real fast, So I watch what you do, not the words you cast. I can forgive, but I don’t forget, Respect’s the rule and the line is set. [Chorus] You ain’t got but one time to show out on me, One wrong move, I’m gone, let it be. I’ll leave you right there where you stand, God gives chances—I give lessons, man. You ain’t got but one time, better understand, God gives chances—I give lessons, man. [Outro] One time to show out—then I’m gone. God gives chances. I give lessons.
