Willing and Able Lyrics

It's a battle inside my mind, as old as time

But now I'm seeing it outside, like a nine-five

There's always someone with a gun, for every knife

There's no two ways to walk a mile in someone's life

When

Two brothers

From different mothers

Of no blood, but a bond of something other

When they first met, the words flowed, never stuttered, but

You know how it goes

They'll raise a hand against the other

I been willing I'm Abel

Said a story of fables

Yeah my horse in the stable

There's no Cain at this table

From the grave to the cradle

Pray you're willing and able

That you're strong and you're faithful

Said a story of fables

I done raised up a roof or two

White collar turned to blue

Fit like a glove

With steel toes for dress shoes

I'm the new kid in town, no need to impress you

I'm pushin' twenty bundles so they can put the check through, I'm

Ridin' high

On thirteen wides

Why not twelve, boi

You don't gotta ask why

I'll smoke a hater up like bleach on some bias ply's

Quarter Mile every street, then I fly by

Kickin' back, fireside

Sippin' on a Coors Light

Twenty clicks, four by

Nothing but the moonlight

The view tonight

Spent this whole time getting my muse right

Dead when I sleep I still wake up and choose life

Open my eyes and I see there's a new price

I can't explain it, I'm caught in their sights

So I might make it look easy with a flick of the wrist

But it's a new old tale that goes something like this

Il Cattivo, with the hands of a sinner

Born artist from the heart of Paradiso's picture

I tried to paint it but the colours only got dimmer

There's no way I don't do this so they'll call me a winner

And if I did

I'd be the best in the biz

A different spring in my step got 'em asking who that is?

And it's me - falling up to authenticity

So go ahead and give me lip

I'll just turn the other cheek

I been willing I'm Abel

Said a story of fables

Yeah my horse in the stable

There's no Cain at this table

From the grave to the cradle

Pray you're willing and able

That you're strong and you're faithful

Said a story of fables
