On My Own

I'm taking shots
Aye, aye, aye
I'm taking shots but they all stay silent
They love the shine
But they ain't got the grind to keep the lights on
I do it on my own
They all be moving like some pythons
Can't trust a soul
They beg for shoulders just to cry on
Meanwhile their pockets be lying
They said they'd have you when you're down bad
But when you out, now they can't find the cash to pay you back
You fronted work and filled plates to keep the family fed
Reach out your hand, they leave you for the dead
Texts for weeks left unread
And you could be in any situation, they still talk slick
Talking 'bout the love you gave ain't worth what the return is
Like dreams we shared was worthless
Working on my verses
You was working on a scheme to exploit my purpose, your purchase
Is all of this hate really necessary?
In the beginning, you was talking nothing temporary
I could see you slipping
Contraband is my hustle
Boy, you tried the wrong tricks
Now I might need a muzzle
My muscles starting to flinch
I find myself calling shooters
Like, boy, you can't take a hint
I'm 'bout to end our business just like this
We could have had the world
Only real ones in my circle
I'm glad you finally showed me what your worth is
I keep my dreams inside my head
They are so sweet, lead me to bed
And l'Il still shine when the lights out
Singing in the streets and abandoned apartments
Visualized the light and learned to conquer the darkness
Dancing slowly with the demons, finding right where their heart is
They are not heartless
I knew pain before I knew you
Thankfully, I also knew profit
So when you dropped it I got it
I flipped my money, I could never flop it
You were in the picture, but I had to crop it
This a new business, new office
And I'm balling on my own supply; I never smoke it
Raise my lighter to the sky 'cause people taking notice
And if I give you this smoke
Try your best not to choke it
When you hear this story just know I wrote it
'Cause people lie and people cheat and people fake out
But I ain't never had a team like this so find your way out
We could have had the world
Only real ones in my circle
I'm glad you finally showed me what your worth is
I keep my dreams inside my head
They are so sweet, lead me to bed
Hey
I keep my dreams inside my head
They are so sweet, lead me to bed
Lead me to bed
They, they lead me to bed
They, they lead me to bed
They, they lead me to bed
Hey, hey
