You got it in for me, move from behind my back & show
Poison spreads fast, faster than you'll ever know 
Workin' so hard to lock me in the dark
With your envy carved on your son's heart

So many times you tried to blow my fuse 
I'm like lightnin' 'cause I am

If you start a fire, burn your pride & move on 
Flames rise higher, backfire faster than you'll ever know
Workin' so hard to slander my name all over town
It's a family affair to chase & hunt me down

So many times you tried to blow my fuse 
I'm like lightnin' 'cause I am

Tell me did you really think once the dust hit the floor
You'd be the last man standing after you declared this war 
Your hellhounds on my trail misjudged one important thing
I am harder, better, faster, stronger than you think 

If you walk with the law, show justice in your truth
Your bitter twisted lies fly high, but don't do you any good
Caught in the trap you've set to shut me down
Blinded by the prodigy of your own child

So many times you tried to blow my fuse 
I'm like lightnin' 'cause I am
