9th Wonder - Believe Her lyrics

[Verse 1: Rapsody] My guard up nowadays, I don't trust nobody See what you glorify, I could probly guess what you think about me What you want from me? Cause you think I got it Old friends I ain't seen in years be like "Don't forget about me" That's some other pressure, enough to stress you out How you gonna save a whole city and you ain't got your mama out? Questions I ask myself, in my shoes how you pick and choose To refuse the help when they never loved you neither But you do it just to keep the peace cause jealousy is evil Peace less frequently, you just wanna be a needle In a haystack, hard to find Protectin' sanity cause all we got is peace of mind And if you did believe, don't get tainted by the shine Who are you? The one that get love from that n***a that go "doo, doo, doo!" Say I'm doing big things, reciting "Gimme the loot!" But who are? [Hook: Merna] When the party's over and everyone is gone When the world is over and we're all alone Are you a believer? Are you a believer in my Lord? Are you a believer? Are you a believer in my Lord? Will you be around when it all comes down? Will you be around when it all comes down? [Verse 2: Rapsody] My guard up nowadays, I don't trust nobody What's true if n***as are lyin', you ask Bill Cosby Allowin' you like Bill Cosby, I be on some sh** Drinking wasabi, watching [?] tryna learn to split Cause family miss you but time's an issue when they 6 14, 7, 9, you look to 'em for innocence Everybody's intent ain't the same Dependin' on perspective, I could be the bad or the good Bane Backstab you for not lettin' you ride the back of this train On my coat cause everybody's infatuated with fame, man I got a feeling that they really don't love me I got a feeling I'm too dark so they think that I'm ugly I got a feeling family think I've come into some money So I've got a feeling I've got new cousins coming to find me I got a feeling I'm bout to find out how precious time be I find out everything about time and loyalty from a cosign And I got a feeling y'all don't know where my mind is Got a feeling there'll be less questions about how I been Got a feeling change is comin' in climate and I don't mean rain Or somethin' holdin' myself up to a promise Lookin' at reflection tellin' "myself don't lose you Don't move too quick, be cautious what you walking' into Be ready all times, the levee might break Chevy's 'll shake when they hear the sh** that I gotta say" Uh, stakes is high, my folks is poor My people proud, they live through me I love 'em when it's said and done I gotta expose my peeps Cause it's real [Hook]
