"it's either me or you..."
  by texascity


In my mind
All I was thinking was
It’s either me or you…

When hell breaks loose
Only one of us will stand tall.
It’s either me or you.

We both have goals
But only one of us will
Achieve them.
It’s either me or you.

Your son needs his father
And my daughter needs me.
But someone isn’t going home
Tonight.
It’s either me or you.


Blood will be shed
With a bullet to the head.
Somebody is going to get it.
It’s either me or you.

Somebody’s mom
Is going to get that
Call
About her son slain in the streets.
But who is going to break the
News to her?
It’s either me or you.


As we load the clips
We say a final prayer to God.
But He is only going to answer
One of us.
It’s either me or you.

I caught you at the store.
So I got the car with the glock
In my hand.
Thinking…
It’s either me or you.

I saw the fright in your eyes
And your little boy by your side.
He said…
Daddy what’s wrong?
But all I was thinking was
It’s either me or you.

I like tngrl's analogy of maybe this was deeper like you and your innerself, but, living the life, it's just that raw and simple....as humans we have that natural instinct to want to survive..good, but gritty write about true life.
