Let me tell you about it
I wanna tell you about it
Let me tell I've been gone, gone so long
Just wanna sing, sing my song
I know you been hearing
Hearing a lot of things about me
Oh I know, I know, I know, I know
I've heard I've heard it all to clear
This is what I'm gonna do, yeah
I'm gonna, I'm gonna hold, hold on
Hold on to my pride, my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick, stick, I'm gonna stick
I'm gonna stick to my guns, gonna stick to my guns, yeah
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and then we gon' see
What the deal, what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanna put it
Oh, put it on the line
That's all I wanna do
I've gotta put it on the line
And we haven't got much time
I've gotta put it on the line
Know what I'm talking about this evening
Said I've gotta put it, oh yeah
I've gotta put it on the line
Listen to me
Say I've got a bullet in the chamber
And I'm not afraid of danger
Said we've gotta go down, down to the wire
I'll go through the fire with you
Kill and die with you
Said I know everybody's watching me
I said the pressure is on
From every angle
Political to personal
Will I hang or get left hanging? Will I fall off?
Or is it banging?
I say it's up to God, 'sup to the man upstairs
But all I gotta do is
Hold, hold on to my pride
I've gotta hold on to my pride
I'm gonna stick, said I'm gonna stick, stick
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick to my guns
Gonna stick to my guns, yeah
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and then we gon' see what the deal, baby
I'm for real, I just wanna put it
Oh, put it on the line
Somebody out there know what I'm singin about
Said the stakes is high, yeah
It's the moment of truth
And if I can hold on, hold on
I'm sure everything will be alright
I wanna tell you about it
Let me tell I've been gone, gone so long
Just wanna sing, sing my song
I know you been hearing
Hearing a lot of things about me
I've heard I've heard it all to clear
This is what I'm gonna do, yeah
Hold on to my pride, my pride
I'm gonna stick, I'm gonna stick, stick, I'm gonna stick
I'm gonna stick to my guns, gonna stick to my guns, yeah
I'm gonna put my finger on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it and then we gon' see
What the deal, what the deal
I'm for real, I just wanna put it
Oh, put it on the line
That's all I wanna do
I've gotta put it on the line
And we haven't got much time
I've gotta put it on the line

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
To me, this song is about someone making themselves vulnerable romantically. To "stick their neck out" so to speak. To "put it all out there." To "put it on the line."
"This is me. Here I am." Do you accept? Do you reject?
I think of this song as preparing for that big moment.
