No One's Fool

Sometimes I spit venom as I speak Other times I sit quietly and keep to myself It really depends on how you treat me to result in what you get Even then, I'll rip your face clean if you piss me off I know I'm not abnormal for it But some overanalyze They see my eyes and instantly assume I need to be contained If you don't know me, only crossing the line of disrespect will I yell If you know me and what makes me tick, I swear some of y'all do it on purpose Don't get nervous You want to see me throw a huge fit I don't get it That's why I don't have many I let stick around since you do it to me for the entertainment Shameless, aren't you? You think it works? Triggering my emotions to make me grit my teeth and burn my words The anger subsides as soon as you go My heart turns into gold and I replenish my soul Stay away Keep your foolishness to yourself I am human I am my own Try me I dare you The harder you push me, the higher I excel
