Around the Corner

Lyrics

Verse 1
He came in all wrong
Acting like a threat
My daughter in the room
I kept my face set

Tried to hand me cash
Like I work for me
Talkin' at me sideways
Like he owned the street

I said, "Move back now"
He blocked my way
Thought I laughed in his face
He had that same old rage

Pre-Chorus
So I took him round the corner
Out of my child's sight
I don't make a scene
I just make it right

He wanted that smoke
He wanted that fight
I kept it calm
But I drew that line

Chorus
Around the corner
Out of her view
Around the corner
Yeah, I see through you
You push too far
You get moved back too
Around the corner
That's what I do

(Around the corner)
(Out of her view)
(Around the corner)
(That's what I do)

Verse 2
Now it's been days
And he won't leave
Same hard look
Same selfish need

And grandma says
I'm the problem now
Says there's nothing wrong
When he prowls around

But I know that stare
I know that tone
He don't talk to me
Like this is home

I keep my peace
I keep my kid
But I won't pretend
Like I did not see it

Pre-Chorus
So I took him round the corner
Out of my child's sight
I don't make a scene
I just make it right

He wanted that smoke
He wanted that fight
I kept it calm
But I drew that line

Chorus
Around the corner
Out of her view
Around the corner
Yeah, I see through you
You push too far
You get moved back too
Around the corner
That's what I do

(Around the corner)
(Out of her view)
(Around the corner)
(That's what I do)

Bridge
If you can't respect me
You can't stay close
I won't let chaos
Run this house

Say what you want
I know my name
I stood my ground
And I won't fold now

Final Chorus
Around the corner
Out of her view
Around the corner
Yeah, I see through you
You push too far
You get moved back too
Around the corner
That's what I do

(Around the corner)
(Out of her view)
(Around the corner)
(That's what I do)
