Rather It Be A Knife

If I met a criminal in a dark alley Or if I met a criminal in the woods or in the valley, I'd rather him be wielding a knife and not a gun Then I could turn around and run. If I were a teacher or a student in a school And a crazy person came in with hate as fuel, I'd rather his weapon be a knife and not a gun Then he couldn't harm no more than one. If I were shopping alone in a mall And a weapon carrying masked man I had just saw, I wound rather his weapon be a knife and not a gun He'd use the weapon maybe once, then he is done. If a stranger ever broke into my house And then he threatened both me and my spouse, If he was packing a knife and not a gun There is two of us, so we would have won. A gun shoots short and long distances many, many times It can create many deaths and many crimes, Whereas a knife can be used closeup and only one time to kill So, just come after me with a knife, if you will.
