Snakes in the Grass

Thought you was my day one, but you fake, plastic,

Folded under pressure, went Houdini, vanished drastic.

Tongue sharp, venomous, you slither, serpent tongue,

I’m Atlas with the world, you couldn’t hold crumbs.

Backstabber, Judas with the handshake grip,

You sunk ships with loose lips, iceberg tip.

Snakes in the grass, I hear the hissin’,

Trust misplaced, now the trust missin’.

Snakes in the grass, venom in the bite,

Turned your back on me, now you outta sight.

Loyalty’s a code, you broke it, shattered glass,

Now you in the rearview, memories don’t last.

Tried to build a kingdom, you burned the blueprints,

Now I’m stacking higher, skyscraper influence.

You a ghost in my shadow, your story erased,

Fake smile, fake love, man, it’s all two-faced.

Now you crawling back, crocodile tears,

But I’m deaf to your cries, can’t hear your fears.

Your betrayal’s a stain, can’t bleach this cloth,

Cut you out the picture, you the one I lost.

Snakes in the grass, I hear the hissin’,

Trust misplaced, now the trust missin’.

Snakes in the grass, venom in the bite,

Turned your back on me, now you outta sight.

Lesson learned, no handouts, no favors,

Built my empire, now I’m my own savior.

Snakes in the grass, but I see them clear,

Your betrayal’s my fuel, I’m shifting gears.
