On My Own

I'm taking shots Aye, aye, aye I'm taking shots but they all stay silent They love the shine But they ain't got the grind to keep the lights on I do it on my own They all be moving like some pythons Can't trust a soul They beg for shoulders just to cry on Meanwhile their pockets be lying They said they'd have you when you're down bad But when you out, now they can't find the cash to pay you back You fronted work and filled plates to keep the family fed Reach out your hand, they leave you for the dead Texts for weeks left unread And you could be in any situation, they still talk slick Talking 'bout the love you gave ain't worth what the return is Like dreams we shared was worthless Working on my verses You was working on a scheme to exploit my purpose, your purchase Is all of this hate really necessary? In the beginning, you was talking nothing temporary I could see you slipping Contraband is my hustle Boy, you tried the wrong tricks Now I might need a muzzle My muscles starting to flinch I find myself calling shooters Like, boy, you can't take a hint I'm 'bout to end our business just like this We could have had the world Only real ones in my circle I'm glad you finally showed me what your worth is I keep my dreams inside my head They are so sweet, lead me to bed And l'Il still shine when the lights out Singing in the streets and abandoned apartments Visualized the light and learned to conquer the darkness Dancing slowly with the demons, finding right where their heart is They are not heartless I knew pain before I knew you Thankfully, I also knew profit So when you dropped it I got it I flipped my money, I could never flop it You were in the picture, but I had to crop it This a new business, new office And I'm balling on my own supply; I never smoke it Raise my lighter to the sky 'cause people taking notice And if I give you this smoke Try your best not to choke it When you hear this story just know I wrote it 'Cause people lie and people cheat and people fake out But I ain't never had a team like this so find your way out We could have had the world Only real ones in my circle I'm glad you finally showed me what your worth is I keep my dreams inside my head They are so sweet, lead me to bed Hey I keep my dreams inside my head They are so sweet, lead me to bed Lead me to bed They, they lead me to bed They, they lead me to bed They, they lead me to bed Hey, hey
