DON'T MESS WITH MINE

I've tried to be a noble person

Forgive the hand that slaps me on the cheek

I have turned the other for their pleasure

Swallowed my pride, and grit my teeth

My enemies know that I am humble

Not the kind of soul to stir up waves

I’m sure they are confident in thinking

I’ll take their lies and torment to the grave….

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Go ahead and mess with me

I’ll just turn thee other cheek

Back off every time 

You cross the line

Go ahead and mess with me

I can take the suffering

But be ready for the me

I won’t confine

Don’t mess with mine

~~*~~

The weight of deception on my shoulders

Living by a rule I know holds truth

While keeping your enemies close to you

Your virtues may be lost within the ruse

It’s hard to fathom their kind of evil

And more painful to treat them as a friend

It’s a nightmare on such a grievous level

Scared to death, to know deceit, like them

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I’ll take the chance

I’ll walk on you

I’ll rip you up

And when I’m through

May you realize 

You should have been nice

I won't tell you twice

Don’t mess with mine

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Go ahead and mess with me

I’ll just turn thee other cheek

Back off every time 

You cross the line

Go ahead and mess with me

I can take the suffering

But be ready for the me

I won’t confine

Don’t mess with mine
