[Verse 1]
Watch your back, I keep my circle tight, haters lurk in shadows, tryna steal my light
They talk behind my back, whisper got no facts, pretending they my friends but they just act
Backstabbers sneaking, knife in the back, jealousy is creeping, yeah, I see the trap
They smile in my face, but hate in their heart, playing their part, tearing bonds apart
[chorus]
Momma use to say watch out for who pray for you, you never know about those who preying on you,
They got that hate inside when they jealous of you!
Dear God protect your son from all those that is envious.
They wanna see me take my last breathe, they sitting and watching trying to see the way that move! But I can’t get caught slipping no no I can’t be caught slipping when these haters wanna do me in!
[Verse 2]
All these backstabbing snakes, telling tales, words like knives, they finna fail
They envy my rise, can't hold me down, crown on my head, I wear it proud
Fake friends and foes, they all the same, hearts so cold, playing the game
Trust is broken, lessons learned, now I see through all their burns
[chorus]
Momma use to say watch out for who pray for you, you never know about those who preying on you,
They got that hate inside when they jealous of you!
Dear God protect your son from all those that is envious.
They wanna see me take my last breathe, they sitting and watching trying to see the way that move! But I can’t get caught slipping no no I can’t be caught slipping when these haters wanna do me in!
