time to say the word

TIME TO SAY THE WORD

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WORD
AND HOW YOU SAY IT

ALL ABOUT CONTROL
YOU KNOW THEY CAN'T TAKE IT

ALL ABOUT THE R
KNOW JUST WHEN TO PLAY IT

IT'S ALL ABOUT PAIN
AND NO, THEY CAN'T TAKE IT

HARD R'S THE GAME
YOU KNOW WHEN TO PLAY ME

HARD R'S CONTROL
NO WAY YOU CAN SHAKE ME

HARD R'S ARE ASSETS
NO WAY YOU CAN'T SAY ME

HARD R'S BRING PAIN
AND I KNOW YOU CAN'T TAKE ME

LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER, READY TO RUN
WHEN I SHOOT THE WORD LIKE A SMOKING GUN

I USE THE WORD, SO I MAKE THE RULES
AND WHEN I SAY IT, YOU'LL DIE LIKE A FOOL

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE WORD'S GONNA BE
IT STARTS WITH AN N, AND SOON IT WILL FLY FREE

DON'T YOU FORGET THE WORD'S ROOTED IN HATE
AND I WILL USE IT, BECAUSE YOUR SKIN'S THAT WAY
