Tryin’ Not to Pull My Gun Lyrics by Cedric Burnside

2 Man Wrecking Crew

2008

[Verse 1]
I try my best to do good, y'all
To keep from going bad
When people take my kindness for weakness, y’all
It make me so mad
[Chorus]
Tryin' not to pull my gun
Tryin' not to pull my gun
If you heard what I said
You better believe
I mean it
[Verse 2]
My friend got evicted
I tried to help him out
He come to my house for a couple days
And slept on my couch
He didn’t have no money, y'all
He ate up all my food
And then he went in my bedroom
And smoked up my reefer too
[Chorus]
Tryin' not to pull my gun
Tryin' not to pull my gun
If you heard what I said
You better beliеve
I mean it
[Verse 3]
When I was tеn
My granddaddy told me
Stand up for what's mine
I was too young to carry a pistol pistol then
But I got one now
[Chorus]
Tryin' not to pull my gun
Tryin' not to pull my gun
If you heard what I said
You better believe
I mean it
If you heard what I said
You better believe
I mean it
