Ricochet Lyrics

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 worlds 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 in)

So, was it really worth it after all?

It's still goin' back and forth (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 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

It was self-defense; it's not what it looks like

"I'm no storyteller, and I'm not tryna sell mine

But if no one's gonna buy it, why try to solicit?

This song isn't over 'til the fat lady sings it"

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

Bouncin' off of a mirror to ricochet then reply

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

Disobeyed the law

Miranda's involved

In custody because of one cause

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

So, was it really worth it after all?

It's still goin' back and forth, 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
