Double Entendre - Tooth and Nail (Line in the Sand)

I've no respect for either side
I never met who made the line in the sand
Mind full of stress from the lies in my head
I didn't "make the bed," but I'm tied to their bed
Rather sleep on the couch, but that's why I'm a threat
Keep my eye on the edge, 'cause I'm fine for the moment
But they try to put me in debt
Sickness is a curse
Your empty ambition's similar
Hope a cure is administered
Or you grow from it, not satisfied living with the dirt
Living with the dirt...
I know you
I know what you don't want
I know what you hope for
I know you like dope cars
Such a fucking show-off
I'm faster than go-carts
You think you can go far
But you want a chauffeur
(Fucking ridiculous)
But nothing to show for
I've been seeing flow charts
I see you have no job
I've never laughed so hard
You just follow Road Runner
I can't help it, "don't bother"
You keep talking—"oh brother"
Don't expect the blows to soften
Don't expect the blows to soften
I won't drop this rope for nothing
You can talk, there's no discussion
We're only different in fundamentals
That's the widest gap there could be
I'm just saying
There's no way you could ever understand
God's plan—if I follow that and I'm not gonna win
I'm not gon' sweat it 'cause I got another plan
I never trusted Him
I never trusted anyone, and I was right
I know you
I really hope you know how I know you
You're my least favorite person I've spoken to
You speak and you break the unspoken rule
I'm just gonna hate you forever, that's what I'm up to
I'm just gonna hate you forever, so this might as well be the final feud
I know you
I know what you hope for
I know what you don't want
I know you like dope cars
Such a fucking show-off
I'm faster than—I'm faster than
I'm faster than go-carts
You think you can go far
But you want a chauffeur
With nothing to show for
I've been seeing flow charts
I see you have no job
I've never laughed so hard
Maybe I have a cold heart
Or I have hot blood, and I made a faux pas
I know what you hope for
I don't hope you don't score
But I made me the bad guy
So if I lost it'd be alright
(Why I fight tooth and nail)
But if I'm the opposing force
I can't say I hope you score
I attack your vocal chords
I'm testing your choke points
I hope you don't fail, but I think you will
I hope you don't hate me, but you do, and I can't blame you
You value virtue
Not my enemy, "me," "you"
You, virtue, value
Not my enemy, not my enemy
And ideas can grow beyond this
But when you speak you should know your audience
And what you want from it
At this point it's easy approaching conflict
Living with the dirt
Why won't you let us see you, you could give a picture
Why do you want people simple-minded when ignorance hurts them
There is more students should get to learn
Put it in class, no one subscribes to the extracurricular
That's more curriculum with no credit, so it just isn't worth trouble
You make sure it's "trouble," the system is at work
That's my perspective—there's me, my peers, and the ones you pit against us
I think we win if you convince less of us
Pretty sure, putting it lightly
That's my perspective, and this is yours
