Seems like today everything’s a competition
From money and careers to huntin’ and fishin’
If you’re comin’ after me I got a warning for you
When my backs against the wall I know exactly what to do

So don’t threaten me because I’ll kill you with kindness
Tell dad jokes ‘til you’re laughin’, hug you ‘til you’re cryin’
As soon as you think I’m about to let up
I’ll say somethin’ sweet and you’ll feel like a million bucks

Everybody wants to be a big deal
Top dog big cheese king of the hill
Doesn’t seem to last though, when we step on each other
So check it out if you come at me you’ll see my true colors

Oh don’t threaten me man I’ll kill you with kindness
Tell dad jokes ‘til you’re laughin’, hug you ‘til you’re cryin’
As soon as you think I’m about to let up
I’ll say somethin’ sweet and you’ll feel like a million bucks

Here’s an idea what if we work together
And rise above the rest in any kinda’ weather
Show ‘em how it’s done they might learn a thing or two
But if not I’m gonna’ tell ‘em the same thing I told you
