You Started It

Verse 1

I walk in quiet, mindin' my own,

I'm perfectly fine just doin' my own.

I don't need trouble, I don't need a fight,

I'll give you respect if you give me mine.

I keep my cool, I let things slide,

I'm not lookin' for a reason to collide.

But there's one thing you oughta know—

Push me too far and I'll push back, bro.

Pre-Chorus

I'm not the one who lit the spark,

But don't mistake my calm for dark.

You crossed the line, now here we go—

You wanted smoke, you got the echo.

Chorus

I'll be chill, I'll be cool,

I won't play by your rules.

But you push, you cross that line,

Don't be shocked when I reply.

You bring fire, I bring flame,

You bring attitude, I bring the same.

I don't start it, that's the deal—

Mess with me and watch me get real.

Verse 2

You throw a jab, I let it pass,

Then you come around and throw another damn attack.

You thought I'd just sit there and take it?

Nah, you picked the wrong one to mistake it.

I'm not cruel, I'm not mean,

I just know where my boundaries have been.

You can test me, but understand—

I won't keep quiet just to hold your hand.

Pre-Chorus

I gave you chances, I gave you space,

You kept on pushing right in my face.

Now you're surprised I'm standing tall?

You started this—I'm just answering the call.

Chorus

I'll be chill, I'll be cool,

I won't play by your rules.

But you push, you cross that line,

Don't be shocked when I reply.

You bring fire, I bring flame,

You bring attitude, I bring the same.

I don't start it, that's the deal—

Mess with me and watch me get real.

Bridge

I won't chase you,

I won't provoke.

But I won't smile

While you throw your smoke.

Respect goes both ways,

That's all I demand.

You give me yours,

You'll get mine in your hands.

Final Chorus

I'll be chill, I'll be cool,

Until you make me change the rules.

You cross the line, I won't pretend

That I'll just take it again and again.

You bring fire, I bring flame,

You bring disrespect, I bring the same.

I don't start it, understand—

But I won't back down when you take your stand.

Outro

So keep it cool, we'll get along.

Treat me right, and we're fucking strong.

But if you come looking for a fight...

Don't be surprised when I match your vibe.
