Call Me a Bullet

Blood won't come, mama, been two months, mama
Took your call, hit it out of state
I do it here, mama, but I fear, mama
They shut him down as far as I can see

Heavily gunned
Worn with pride
Still in the shadows, I must hide

So call me a bullet, mmm
Shoot me off into the dark
I never wanted your hand
Call me a bullet, mmm
Shoot me high and wild and deep
Baby, then I'll be free

I could have died, father, they wouldn't have cared, father
This ain't about life, and it never was
Old white men, father, with their black pens, father
Took my choices, ground them into dust

Death in your cell
Anyway, you came
Still, I'm the one with blood on my hands

So call me a bullet, mmm
Shoot me off into the night
I never wanted your hand
Call me a bullet, mmm
Shoot me high and wild and free
Baby, then you'll protect me

Call me a bullet
Call me a bullet
