[Pre-Intro]
Yeah, we rise from the ashes, no fall
Tales of betrayal, backstabs, and it all
Haters everywhere, can't hear my call
But I got my mind, I got my ball
[Intro]
They talk and they hate, they envy, they prein'
But I keep my faith, stay grindin', no fleein'
Money on my mind, low key, I'm schemin'
Prison system tryna lock down the dreamin'
[Verse 1]
Wrapped up in struggle, city so cold
Fake friends and women, stories they told
Loyalty's a game, they switch, and they fold,
But my heart stay solid, stay bold, stay old that's why they look weird when they realize I tote!
Backstabbers they creepin', I see through the disguise, if they thinking I'm a easy kill they tweaking. Fake smiles, real lies, truth buried deep inside,but it's hard to hide it, when the stories in there eyes.Getting money, I ride, no need to hide
In this fight for my life, got my pride, my guide
They say slow down, but who gone hold me down when the story change,can't trust damn soul got my nerves bad!
[Verse 3]
System corrupt, it’s a trap, it’s a maze
Trying to keep us down, but we set ablaze
They oppress and oppress, but we break the chains
Haters throwing fears, but we got no shame
[Pre-Chorus]
They hate when you rise, they envy your shine
But I gotta move on, gotta stay on my grind
Caught in the system, but it's just a design
Loyalty’s rare, gotta trust what’s mine
[Chorus]
Haters, backstabbers, stay in my lane
Getting my money, escaping the pain
System so messed, ain’t playing no game
Unloyal women and friends, I don’t feel the same
[Verse 4]
They smile in my face, then stab from behind(main) I'm trying to tell my jiggas that
Trust is a lesson, now I’m inclined
To move in silence, to realign
Focused on my bread, they no longer define.
Put your guard down it's never a stranger to rob you blind. I work my muscle in the street like what defines me!
Prison system locked, but I won’t fold
Searching for truths, stories untold
They trying to break us, keep us in the mold
But our spirit’s fierce, brave and bold. A lot of good jiggas in cell man. But what to treat us like the trash can. Until it's one of there's in that trash man!
Money on my mind, gotta elevate
Fix the broken system, it’s time to change it
Fake friends turn foes, I maintain it,
Loyalty’s rare, in this game of fame man!
[Pre-Chorus]
They hate when you rise, they envy your shine
But I gotta move on, gotta stay on my grind
Caught in the system, but it's just a design
Loyalty’s rare, gotta trust what’s mine
[Chorus]
Haters, backstabbers, stay in my lane
Getting my money, escaping the pain
System so messed, ain’t playing no game
Unloyal women and friends, I don’t feel the same
[Bridge]
Faith in my heart, hope in my soul
Fighting through the darkness, reaching my goal
They try to hold me back, but I control
My story, my destiny, my role
[Outro]
Yeah, we victorious, brighter days ahead
Leaving behind all the pain and the dread
Money, loyalty, lessons we fed
Haters fall back, we risen instead
