4 Signs You're Being Preyed On

I'm catchin' feelings for my niggas and my sisters
'Cause I've made so many mistakes
I should've fallen off the map by now
Lookin' back I caused myself a lot of pain
I let myself be disrespected
By little kids who just see life as a game
I'm movin' past the confusion now
If I look, I see the truth, it's plain as day
The users among us boldly assume
That the prey they're latched on too broken to choose
They play the crap out us and hope that the truth
Won't cost them their life's work, they're hopin' for you
To fall in line, all the time, nevermind your own life
Out the blue, they're onto you, they wanna get your soul tied
All the use and the abuse, that shit'll leave you so tired
Best to choose the better route and watch out for these four signs

(One) They feel like a fucking godsend
They make your life so much better
Finally, your dreams are coming true
They're making you finally fucking alive
(Two) They think you're the fucking shit
Your best qualities are immediately taken seriously
They can't see how you might fail in the future
And they can't hold you accountable
(Three) You get warnings from the people around you
Subtle comments and reactions
That indicate they don't like this person for you
You seem to be the only one who really likes them like that
(Four) They're perfectly compatible with you
You live in the same world
They're molding themself to you
It's a match made in heaven

See, I felt like I'd just spent my entire life
Consumed by paranoia, self-assuring lies
Learning how confusion and delusion combined
Cut through an essence like a knife

Then I found myself filled with unfillable holes
Gaps all in the flux of what I thought I knew
Questioning everything I'd been told
Security's the opposite of life

My wishes came true and then my dreams were destroyed
The kingdom and the crowd were just white noise
Selling shit for shit to replace their toys
Thought I'd never get outside

No mobility was drivin' me insane
Soul-crushing work accentuated the pain
The ending just looked like clouds and rain
And I couldn't even cry

But, now, I can cry
Yeah, now, I can cry
Now, I can cry
Now, I can cry
