Tryin' Not To Pull My Gun - Cedric Burnside, Lightnin' Malcom

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

Tryin' not to pull my gun

Tryin' not to pull my gun

If you heard what I said

You better believe

I mean it

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

Tryin' not to pull my gun

Tryin' not to pull my gun

If you heard what I said

You better belive

I mean it

When I was tn

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

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
