Trigger Discipline

Finger on the trigger, I ain't gonna test my luck

I seen too many pictures, white chalk, yellow tape stuck

But keep my head on swivel, every handshake flicker up

Heart heavy like a pistol, ain't nobody that I trust

Finger on the trigger, I ain't gonna test my luck

I been starin' at the mirror, I been feelin' kinda stuck

If I pull it then it's over, if I freeze they run me up

So I'm breathin' in the silence, prayin' fear don't call my bluff

Hood zip to my eyelids, voices sayin' "Light 'em up"

But my brother in the ground now, he ain't ever gettin' up

Every name on that mural, that's a story turned to dust

I ain't dyin' for my ego or a stranger I don't trust

Finger on the trigger, I ain't gonna test my luck

I been starin' at the mirror, I been feelin' kinda stuck

If I pull it then it's over, if I freeze they run me up

So I'm breathin' in the silence, prayin' fear don't call my bluff

Use the courage if I'm backin' down

Use the power if I walk away

I got futures in my family now

I ain't throwin' all that hope away

Finger on the trigger, I ain't gonna test my luck

I been starin' at the mirror, I been feelin' kinda stuck

If I make it to the mornin', I'ma thank whoever luck

'Cause I walked out of the moment and I never called a bluff

Finger on the trigger, I ain't gonna test my luck

I been starin' at the mirror, I been feelin' kinda stuck

If I pull it then it's over, if I freeze they run me up

So I'm breathin' in the silence, prayin' fear don't call my bluff
