{verse 1} Fake people go with you but they will never grow with you They let you do all the work so they can live comfortable Closer i move to the top i see the looks start changing up I live with omnipotence Doin anything thats in my thoughts I work too hard for someone to try to take it from me I watch they jealousy grow as they wanna become me I know myself i know my worth i picked myself up out the dirt And if they sting i never hurt cause its a lesson that i learn The snakes will hesitate to bite the hand that feeds em I see it coming from a mile away Watched day ones change like seasons In summer heat i see the fog come from they mouth when they speak They ain't wit me i lost em they freeze when they breath One day its all warm the next day they cold blooded Different stages same show They see what i am they wanna become it But its the hate that ripped my boy away from me He couldn't be happy for the man that i was becoming damn {verse 2} I never tried to be nobody else besides myself you heard different probably spoke to the people i'm talking about I just move different and that will never change Been real since the day that i was given my government name not ath It's funny cause my parents always warn me but i never listened But then again i start to pay attention Viewin' life through their insights Dad you was right People watch you move and they wanna piece of your pie And momma ain't raise a fool
Cause she gave me words of wisdom too Trust yourself stay in your lane don't let em switch how you move Never broke focus cause i expected the crew to come along But the work i put in was all me, guess i was wrong Damn, i stayed in my lane came this far noticed i was alone No roommates at the crib i stay on my own No help. its all good cause ima keep it movin' Only support i needed was family motivation pushing me to win {verse 3} I can feel the tension in the air I pay attention to my ears When they mention all of the peers I stopped rockin' with over years Thats when i know they about to switch up and change gears They see me comin' out the bucket and they tryin they best to keep me there If you try to dim my light you will never shine How many times i gotta say it for y'all to finally fall in line To focused on keepin' me down you know my potential You know my credentials Im coming up you know i'm influential Slide out the knife that you put in my back and stab yo spine wit it You'll fall and i'll heal quick dawg our wounds different I been around this all to often i got deep scars Backstabbers all around move at night like a bed of stars When the sun is up n out they tuck they knives in and smile Same type of dudes that shot pac n nip down R.i.p. to goats from the coasts who were suppose to make a change A shame when the love that you get breeds other peoples hate
