Analysis of Last Dance



I'll fight punks that get in my way
Push them down again before they get up
I don't come here to sing or play
If you mess with me, I'll tear you up

You talk to me with your hands in the air
Call me out in front of my friends
Hit you, stab you, I really don't care
All in all, it's the same in the end

Disrespect my girl and think that you are bad
And then you expect no consequence
Good for you cause now you got me mad
I'll hit you with a bat till you lose conscience

Ok sucker, I warned you once
Better not think that I am joking
We shall see who's the ignorant dunce
When I kick your side while you are choking

I'll give you one last time to walk away
Even forget every move you showed me
If you continue then this will be the day
That will play in your mind for all eternity
