Intro (soft, haunted hum)
Yeah… uh, ayy — mmm
Chorus (melodic, repeat)
They say I chose the wrong ones, yeah, I chose the wrong ones (yeah)
Loyalty got buried under all these cold guns (cold)
Mama cryin' nightly while I try to hold on (hold on)
I been prayin’‚ wishin’ I never messed with the wrong ones
Verse 1
Came up from the bottom, my pockets was empty nights (nights)
Trusted every smile, but the devil wearin’ white (white)
Had a hand when I was down, then they vanish in the light (vanish)
Now I’m countin’ scars and seconds — growin’ up quick in the fight (yeah)
Young heart, big dreams, then betrayals in the coupe (skrrt)
They whisper like they family, then they switchin’ up the truth (switch)
Seen brothers turn to strangers when the ledger gettin’ full (full)
I keep my circle small, keep my head under the roof (roof)
Pre‑Chorus (soft, building)
Every chain got a tale, every smile got a price
I pay with my sleep, I pay with my life
You learn real quick who gon’ stand in the storm
When your name gone missin’ from the calls at dawn
Chorus (melodic, harder)
They say I chose the wrong ones, yeah, I chose the wrong ones (wrong)
Loyalty got buried under all these cold guns (cold)
Mama cryin' nightly while I try to hold on (try)
I been prayin’‚ wishin’ I never messed with the wrong ones
Verse 2
I gave my trust like currency, they spent it on their pride (pride)
Left me with the rubble, left me with the nights I cried (cried)
They loud when the money come, quiet when the sirens ride (ride)
I seen fake love in the mirrors, seen smiles that lied (lied)
Never thought it’d end like this — empty plate on the floor (floor)
Baby need a mama, and a father out the door (out)
I be countin’ blessings through the thunder and the war (war)
Tryna keep my head up, blondes, blues, and broken doors
Bridge (spoken, close)
Look, I ain’t tryna play the victim every time I speak
But pain teach lessons, make a man from weak
If you love me, show up — don’t just feast then ghost
If you ride, ride for real, not just when it’s toast
Chorus (melodic, vulnerable)
They say I chose the wrong ones, yeah, I chose the wrong ones (yeah)
Loyalty got buried under all these cold guns (cold)
Mama cryin' nightly while I try to hold on (hold on)
I been prayin’‚ wishin’ I never messed with the wrong ones
Verse 3 (confessional, quieter)
Now I move with caution, watchin’ tongues and watches (watch)
Trust is currency, I block the toxic deposits (blocked)
I still got love for some, but I learned how to profit (learned)
From heartbreak and the lessons that they tried to stop it (stop)
Used to run my mouth, now I run my back to the block (back)
Protect my seed, teach him right, never let the clock stop (never)
If loyalty is rare then I buy what I need (buy)
‘Cause the wrong ones cut deep, planted thorns in my seed
Outro (fading, resolute)
Porque music
See you when I see you
