Hook — melodic)
Watch 'em flop, watch 'em fade, I'm steady risin' (yeah)
All that talk they made, ain't nothin' but gossip, we survivin' (ooh)
Countin' bands, countin' blessings while they playin' pretend (playin')
I been too real for the fake ones — watch 'em flop in the end
(Verse 1)
Came from nothin', block lights, cold nights, prayin' for better days
Had my brothers locked in the mud, we was grindin' through the maze
Now the whip shine, new chains, but my mind still on the ways
Used to eat cold meals, now it's gold deals tips on sleeve of J's
They was ridin' with the breeze when we had blues, now they fold fast
All that hate, all that frontin', can't match the heart I hold past
I keep my circle tight, cut the snakes off like I'm on guard
They want the throne overnight — looks pretty 'til it fall hard
(Pre-Hook)
I ain't celebratin' when they lose, it's just karma movin' slow (slow)
Trust gettin' thin, loyalty's thin, like ice in the snow (yeah)
We count scars like medals, that's how real ones glow (glow)
Pray for the ones that switch lanes, hope they find their road
(Hook — melodic)
Watch 'em flop, watch 'em fade, I'm steady risin' (steady)
All that talk they made, ain't nothin' but gossip, we survivin' (we survivin')
Countin' bands, countin' blessings while they playin' pretend (playin')
I been too real for the fake ones — watch 'em flop in the end
(Verse 2)
They want the smoke but they foldin', ain't built for the pressure (pressure)
Conversate with success, I never stress the lesser (nah)
Mama sleepin' sound, house quiet, dog at the dresser
We made it out the trenches, now they watchin' like a lecture
Youngins lookin' up to me, so I steady show 'em ways
No glamorize the pain, we just pushin' past the days
Wherein they play you for a laugh, then they actin' gladly brave
Now they takin' pictures by the pool, but they don't know how to save
(Bridge — soft, melodic)
Pray for the lost ones, pray for my dawgs in the field (in the field)
Pray that the fake ones learn how to love and how to heal
I keep movin' silent, let my paper speak my deals
Watch 'em flop, then watch the lessons that real life reveals
(Ad-lib)
Ooh, yeah, huh, aye
(Hook — full)
Watch 'em flop, watch 'em fade, I'm steady risin' (risin')
All that talk they made, ain't nothin' but gossip, we survivin' (survivin')
Countin' bands, countin' blessings while they playin' pretend (they playin')
I been too real for the fake ones — watch 'em flop in the end
(Outro — reflective)
This for my day ones, this for the ones who kept the faith
We kept our heads up, turned our pain into a Wraith (skrrt)
They laugh now, then they watch when the tide take 'em away
We still standin' tall — watch 'em flop, that's just part of the play (yeah)
Porque music
See you when I see you
