[Chorus]
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you lust over his things, you might lose your only chance
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
[Verse 1]
Jealousy and envy like to hide amongst our friends
And if we look inside the mirror, we got some of it within
ni**as hating on each other, see each other and pretend
Which we drowned in holy water, all our insides need a cleanse
Inshallah, mashallah to my brethren
Fighting through this hell, know there gotta be a Heaven
Need to face all my emotions, I been runnin' and repressin'
You could bury what you killed but you can't murder your depression
I still survive, sometimes when breathin' I still don't feel alive
Jealous eyes watching the moon, then sun forgets to shine
See the sign, you keeping your focus on other ni**as' grinds
Hypnotized by glitter and gold, and other ni**as' lies
We watching one another like a show on prime time
You can't learn to play your role from learnin' other ni**as lines
You can't learn to win the game if you been cheerin' from the side
You can't make it to the front if you just follow from behind
[Chorus]
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you dream about his world, you could watch your life pass
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you dream about his world, you could watch your life pass
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
[Verse 2]
I need to find inspiration, if I want it, I could get it
Don't believe inside myself, I'm insecure, I need to face it
I be seeing ni**as flexing and I feel like I ain't make it
Need to focus on my wins and never focus on my failing
But it's hard when the social media defines your presence
Watching ni**as throwing cash, it make you feel like you a pheasant
Lookin' at other people gettin' stuck inside their blessings
And we can't walk away, it's like the longest jail sentence
I'ma break free, the internet is make-believe
(It make you wanna kill your dreams)
I'ma break free, the internet is make-believe
Killing people's self esteem, it make you wanna kill your dreams
ni**as be showing off their lives, but it's never what it seems
Posting sh*t to get reactions and we hope that we get seen
I be scared to post a picture if the likes don't get received
And if ni**as don't react, then I'm deleting everything
[Chorus]
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you dream about his world, you could watch your life pass
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you dream about his world, you could watch your life pass
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
