[Intro]
Yeah
It’s all about who you let in
Who you keep close
Most people don’t make the cut
[Chorus]
Keep the circle tight, family only, no new additions
Everybody claim they love you ‘til they see the vision
Smilin’ in your face, but they plottin’ on your position
I learned the hard way, now I’m movin’ with precision
Keep the circle tight, blood thicker than the rumors
All these fake ones switchin’ sides like they consumers
I don’t trust a soul that’s movin’ like opportunists
Only real ones ride, everybody else is useless
[Verse 1]
I remember nights when the phone didn’t ring
Now it’s blowin’ up, but half these calls don’t mean a thing
They want a piece of the light, not the grind that it brings
I built this from the mud, now they act like we kings
Together, but I see the envy in they eyes
Talk behind my back, then hit me with the lies
Sayin’ “That’s my brother,” but they ready to divide
The second that the money flip or fame start to subside
I cut ‘em off clean, no text, no goodbye
‘Cause loyalty ain’t seasonal, it don’t change with the sky
Mama told me early, “Watch who you let ride”
Now I’m in the ghost, just me and my side
[Chorus]
Keep the circle tight, family only, no new additions
Everybody claim they love you ‘til they see the vision
Smilin’ in your face, but they plottin’ on your position
I learned the hard way, now I’m movin’ with precision
Keep the circle tight, blood thicker than the rumors
All these fake ones switchin’ sides like they consumers
I don’t trust a soul that’s movin’ like opportunists
Only real ones ride, everybody else is useless
[Verse 2]
She said she down forever, but forever got conditions
Love turn to leverage when the glow up in fruition
Texts turn cold, now she movin’ with suspicion
Askin’ ‘bout the money like it’s part of her ambition
I gave her the world, but the world wasn’t enough
Now she postin’ subliminals, actin’ like it’s tough
I don’t even argue, I just let her self-destruct
‘Cause peace is expensive, and I’m done payin’ up
Dad said, “Son, protect your heart and your name”
Both get attacked when you playin’ this game
So I keep it low, let ‘em think that I’m lame
While I’m stackin’ in silence, stayin’ out of the frame
[Bridge]
All the ones who was there before the views
Still the same ones I call when I’m feelin’ confused
Everybody else just passin’ through
Temporary love, I ain’t built for the crew
[Chorus]
Keep the circle tight, family only, no new additions
Everybody claim they love you ‘til they see the vision
Smilin’ in your face, but they plottin’ on your position
I learned the hard way, now I’m movin’ with precision
Keep the circle tight, blood thicker than the rumors
All these fake ones switchin’ sides like they consumers
I don’t trust a soul that’s movin’ like opportunists
Only real ones ride, everybody else is useless
[Outro]
Yeah
Keep the circle tight
That’s it
Real ones only
