End of a Knife Lyrics

[Hook]
They always tell me that I'm colder than ice
But try ya best to not get caught in the hype
Cause I could give you back control of your life
Ya betta handle me with caution, caution
You try to mess wit me you gon' pay the price
I do my dirt and then I'm gone in the night
Don't try to tell me that I'm wrong when I'm right
Cuz I ain't really with the talkin', ya walking into the end of a knife


[Verse 2]
I wasn't really doing much
But chillin' in the kitchen
Layin' in cut you know, playing my position

Choppin' up with the homey about to make me some fixins
Lend me your ear it's time to listen
Cuz now I've got a roommate
A lazy roommate that always went to school late
An athlete but his temper wasn't too great
He's normally cool but sometimes he's such a 2 face, and too fake
Pay attention I was on my protein and my oatmeal thing
My eating healthy got me feeling so real thing

Heard a knock, another knock, and then the doorbell rang
A beauty queen, damn I ain't have a chance to get clean
Look how she walked in, noticed her pretty skin
Minimal mascara, devilish little grin
Didn't know what to say, didn't know where to begin
She wasn't here for me and she only came here for him
Was dressed like she had recently just got out of church
She pulled some purple evidence up out of her purse
Another woman's underwear, you know what's worse
It's the same girl that I mentioned in my first verse
That's when she cursed at my patna, yelling bout what she saw
Asking him 'bout some lingerie that she found in her car
I'm sitting back and I'm watchin, just trying not to get involved
That's when I heard her say that she was ready to break the law

A tricky situation I was currently facing
The roommate or ya soul mate whose side are you taking
I wasn't saying nothing, I was watching and waiting
She's yelling and pacing and now she's adjacent
To me, I was standing there quietly
He started yelling when she tried to get behind me
Then he put up his dukes like he thought he was Ali
You swing at me they'll have to hook you to an IV
Naw, matter fact you better say you know karate
Ya family gonna have to come and get ya body
Before you try me you better find a hobby
Or you better go find a job like Martin said to Tommy
I'm not the type that you should ever try to get close to
Matter fact you should run you ever see me approach you
And now this loser talking like he trying to get vocal, I'm like
Don't you, have me in here bout to go postal

Ooh say it again then you gon' say a prayer
I'm gon' send you to heaven and you can say it up there

This ain't a dare it's promise and I'll say I swear
I don't care, I bet that you won't say I'm scared

[Hook]
They always tell me that I'm colder than ice
But try ya best to not get caught in the hype
Cause I could give you back control of your life
Ya betta handle me with caution, caution
You try to mess wit me you gon' pay the price
I do my dirt and then I'm gone in the night
Don't try to tell me that I'm wrong when I'm right
Cuz I ain't really with the talkin', ya walking into the end of a knife


[Verse 3]
I wasn't really doing much
Now I know he's wishing
I wasn't in the cut
He gon' need some stitching
I didn't wanna do it
Told you you wouldn't listen
She's the one who gave me permission
I knew that it was evil but it made me feel dope
The way she got me feeling I think we should elope

She reached around my body then she pulled me real close
She rubbed me on the face and said it's time to get ghost
Your wish is my command, you rollin' I'm rollin' wit' ya
You say it's time to split, don't worry I get the picture
She grabbed me by the wrist, If I could I would kiss ya
In all the chaos I didn't get to tell you I miss ya

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

End of a Knife is a track about a knife talking about his life. The same way Nas made a track about a pistol. And Wale did a track from the perspective from a Jesus piece

Keep in mind that in this track the lyrics are from the perspective of the knife. So it is not Chamillionaire talking, but a knife.
