Ricochet

The individual toting a gun Who is inexperienced and doesn't know how to operate it Is anxious There's sweat running down his forehead He's scared but vengeful Without a safety lock, he sets his finger on the trigger He pulls it, it fires But where the bullet punctured its target is a loophole Did it ricochet or not? He's responsible for it There's ringing in his ears There are riots outside his window His name is on a shirt And he's not even the world's most wanted Framed because he wanted attention Because he lost an eye And he wanted to return the favor The type of bullets that extracted from that weapon Has his name written all over it It's gonna go back and forth (Back and forth, back and-) So, was it really worth it after all? It's still goin' back and forth (Ooh, ooh) You did this to yourself He's a regular civilian and he happened to be triggered An unruly decision, they tryna say that he did it They give him a sentence, and he just got out of prison I guess, he can be malignant since they corrupted his livin' A bystander one minute, the other framed for attendin' Twisted, they lookin' to spin it He's lookin' at monthly visits where nothin' is tinted It's clear who's the victim He's been told he's delusional, like "You need to simmer down, no need for gettin' loud You in a sticky situation no one will bail you out" He's held accountable "What I would do if I were you, is play by the rules" It's insurmountable "Turn yourself in Accept the fact that you messed up again!" He puts his hand on the glass, it's almost tangible She's on the other side of it, but she's collapsin' too He hangs up the phone, knowin' he ain't the one Yet, he's thrown back into the cell that he just left from, yeah That bullet is soarin' in mid-air From acts of avenging an old affair Ain't no stoppin' it, it's headed here (Here) Prone to colliding with karma Gonna get hit with no armor Ain't no stoppin' it, you're the bulls-eye (Better watch your back!) Always back and forth They took a bullet for revenge (Yeah, shoot!) Always back and forth Ricochet, rebounded in disarray Ricochet, rebounded in a frenzy He kept himself in check while in a roulette Yet to recollect They can't trace his steps, yet can etch a sketch Domino effect (Whoa) It was self-defense (Yeah) It's not what it looks like "I'm no storyteller (Yeah), and I'm not tryna sell mine But if no one's gonna buy it, why try to solicit? (Ayy) This song isn't over 'til the fat lady sings it" (What?) Court room's full of delinquents Interruptin' the eruption He did nothin' to keep from 'em He'd sworn under oath They underestimate the range of their scope Case was adjourned Yeah, he attempted to end a life But he missed 'em as it flew by (Yeah) Bouncin' off of a mirror to ricochet then reply (Whoa) Avenge his friend to drop the ball A black sheep's in every family to even the odds The killer's run off And now there's lies in the walls (Yeah) Disobeyed the law (Yeah) Miranda's involved (Whoa) In custody because of one cause (Uh) That bullet is soarin' in mid-air From acts of avenging an old affair Ain't no stoppin' it, it's headed here Prone to colliding with karma Gonna get hit with no armor Ain't no stoppin' it, you're the bulls-eye (Better watch your back!) Always back and forth They took a bullet for revenge (Yeah, shoot!) Always back and forth Ricochet, rebounded in disarray Ricochet, rebounded in a frenzy It's gonna go back and forth (Back and forth, back and-) So, was it really worth it after all? It's still goin' back and forth, ooh (Ooh-ooh) You did this to yourself So it seems that the bullet indeed came around And like karma A ricochet rebounded off of his choices Revenge, what is it exactly? Choices, how do they define us? Simple He had someone close to him taken away And so he tried to take that person's Dearest thing from them In the end It's a big cycle It's a huge domino effect just falling one by one It's a gigantic pinball machine is what it is You can't throw a boomerang And not expect it To end up where it was thrown
