Like He's Coming to Get Somebody

There's a man coming up the hill
And he didn't even wait until nighttime to do it

You gotta give the guy credit for that
He don't need the moon to protect him

If he's coming for you
He's coming where everybody can see him

That shows he has conviction
Which is the worst thing somebody you don't like can have

You don't want to dance with a man
Who has a conviction on his arm

Now, let's stop and think
About who this man could be coming to get

Could be your Daddy
That's the obvious choice

Because he doesn't pay his bills on time
And he borrows money from men bigger than him

But if that were the case
If a man had a problem with your Daddy, well then--

He wouldn't come around the front
He'd be coming around the back

The men your Daddy deals with
Don't walk in plain sight

He could be coming for your brother
Because your brother likes to get into scrapes with boys

That'll eat his fist at two
Then give him back a knife at three

But this man ain't carrying a knife
He doesn't need to

Conviction, remember?
Pure, driven conviction

The other possibility
Is that he's here to say hi

Maybe a new neighbor
Maybe we're reading too much into this

But I see the way his mustache is cut
And nobody with a mustache cut like that

Is ever looking to do anything
But shake shit up and see what it lands

The truth is...
Your Mama's known a lot of men like that

And if she's not mistaken
She knows this man

I got a little too friendly with him one day
While I was in town

And he thought that meant I was fed up with your Daddy
And I needed somebody to rescue me

When I told him 'No'
I didn't need saving

He acted like I slapped him
And said one of these days he was going to come by the house

And show me what a real man could take if he wanted to take it
A man with conviction

So here he is
Coming to take

Well, let's see him do it, huh?
Let's see how much he can take with four bullets in him

Hell, maybe he can take
Even more than that

That man may have conviction
But your Mama knows how to shoot

And she knows how to hide a gun
So you can't tell it's aimed at you even when you're looking right at it

So he's coming to get somebody, huh?
Well...he's going to get a little bit more than he bargained for, isn't he?

Yes
He sure is
