The secret to music comes from the heart
But those without one can still play a part
They provide the scars
Behind this music's masks, the words are real
Under these masks, a poet's wounds to heal
And this is the deal
Never cross a musician
If you don't wanna hear his songs
Never cross a musician
He writes when he gets wronged
Been an uphill climb to the top of Everest
No longer capable of forgiveness
This mountain of regret
The Everest, she ain't your companion, no
Before too long, you've climbed to the death zone
Yeah, you got too close
Never cross a musician
If you don't wanna hear his songs
Never cross a musician
He writes when he gets wronged
You gotta use others like they used you
C'mon we've all grown up, you're still a goon
Nothin' but a goon
Yeah, you're just a goon
And if you're listenin' now
You best know it's true
Never cross a musician
If you don't wanna hear his songs
Never cross a musician
He writes when he gets wronged
