Lyrics

Look…
I don't really rock with too many people no more…
'Cause y'all stay scheming. (stay scheming…)
Yeah…
They stay scheming, (scheming…)
Smile in your face but they plotting for a reason (for a reason…)
Stay reaching, (stay reaching…)
Soon as you turn your back they start creeping with demons (with demons…)
I can't trust nobody, (nobody…)
Where I'm from they'll set you up and call it "even" (call it even…)
So I stay low, stay breathing, (stay breathing…)
If it's up then it's stuck, yeah you know how I'm feeling (yeah…)
Stay scheming, (stay scheming…)
Everybody got a price, everybody got a weakness (weakness…)
Stay scheming, (stay scheming…)
That's why I move by myself, I don't need no new allegiance (no…)
Stay scheming, (stay scheming…)
What goes around come around, and it spin back ten seasons (spin back…)
Stay scheming… (oh-oh-oh)
That's why everything personal, I don't do too much speaking (nah)
Look…
I done seen blood turn cold over a dollar (over a dollar)
I done seen brothers throw they kin under water (damn)
I done seen a "real one" fold for a follower (for a follower)
Same ones screaming "loyalty" be the problem (be the problem)
Where I'm from, yeah, the backdoor always open (wide open)
They'll invite you to the crib, swear it's love, swear they joking (swear they joking)
Soon as you pull up, they outside, mask on, fully loaded (fully loaded)
And the girl you came for? She the one that sent the location (she sent it…)
So I don't move loose, I don't move sloppy (nah)
I don't sip too much, I don't trust no party (no)
I don't do new friends, I don't do "bro got me" (mm-mm)
Everybody "family" till the pressure get on 'em (facts)
I be in the house, not scared, I just love peace (love peace)
Y'all be moving weird, I be moving like a chess piece (checkmate)
And if you cross that line, it's no talk, it's no please (no please)
I'll cut you off clean, make you feel that missing piece (gone)
I got scars from the ones I gave love to (love to…)
I got pain from the ones I showed up for (showed up…)
Now my heart cold, but my mind still sharp (still sharp)
If you come with that weird energy, I can spot it from afar (yeah…)
They stay scheming, (scheming…)
Smile in your face but they plotting for a reason (for a reason…)
Stay reaching, (stay reaching…)
Soon as you turn your back they start creeping with demons (with demons…)
I can't trust nobody, (nobody…)
Where I'm from they'll set you up and call it "even" (call it even…)
So I stay low, stay breathing, (stay breathing…)
If it's up then it's stuck, yeah you know how I'm feeling (yeah…)
I heard they speaking on me, man it's cool, I expected it (expected it)
Same ones asking for help be the ones that get disrespectful (crazy)
They don't wanna see you win, they just wanna be connected (connected)
Then get jealous when they realize you ain't letting them possess it (nah)
They'll snake you for a chain, snake you for a hoe (for a hoe)
Snake you for a name, snake you for a post (for a post)
Then cry victim like you wrong when you finally close the door (close the door)
Nah, I seen it all before (I seen it…)
I'm 36 now, unc, I ain't on that dumb time (nah)
But don't confuse calm with weak, I just learned to love my downtime (downtime)
I don't chase beef, but I'll finish what you start (finish it)
I don't talk slick, I just put it in my art (yeah)
Everything personal, I don't forgive and forget (forget?)
I forgive, then I watch, then I make sure you regret (regret)
Tenfold, that's the rule, that's the karma you collect (collect)
Try to play me like a fool, you gon' pay for that attempt (pay for it)
I gave love to the wrong ones… (wrong ones…)
Now I don't feel nothing… (feel nothing…)
I got trust issues heavy
Can't let nobody in my circle, no… (no…)
'Cause they be smiling while they stabbing (stabbing…)
And they be laughing while you crashing (crashing…)
So I stay silent, keep my distance
And let God handle all the damage (amen…)
They stay scheming, (scheming… scheming…)
Smile in your face but they plotting for a reason (yeah, I see it…)
Stay reaching, (stay reaching…)
Soon as you turn your back they start creeping with demons (I don't trust it…)
I can't trust nobody, (nobody… nobody…)
Where I'm from they'll set you up and call it "even" (backdoor city…)
So I stay low, stay breathing, (stay breathing…)
If it's up then it's stuck, yeah you know how I'm feeling (you know what it is…)
Stay scheming, (ohh-ohh…)
Stay scheming, (yeah…)
That's why I move alone, I don't need nobody near me (near me…)
Stay scheming… (stay scheming…)
Everything personal, don't come around if you fear me (don't come
