Shysters and Wannabees

Oh, yeah
Well, well, well

I've been going through changes, 'bout to lose my mind
I done found that good help, it's so hard to find
When you think you got someone there for you
Willie, I need your help, that's why I'm calling you

Now listen, little brother, I wouldn't steer you wrong
That "Hell at the House" was a badass song
This business is hell, you know I've been around
So listen, I'll tell you what I'm talking about

You got the shysters (shysters) and wannabees (wannabees)
Gold diggers (gold diggers), putting on the squeeze (putting on the squeeze)
Backstabbers that stay close (stay close)
Listen to me and shake those (oh yeah)

I've been having a good time and dressing clean
Been on soul and blues and Billboard magazine
Been doing good and I'm feeling fine
But I trade it all for some peace of mind

But look at this money that you done made
Don't let, nobody (let nobody) rain on your parade (your parade)
'Cause when you up you got plenty of friends
But where do they go when you ain't got no hand (oh-oh, oh)

You've got your shysters (shysters) and wannabees (wannabees)
Gold diggers (gold diggers), putting on the squeeze (on the squeeze)
Backstabbers that stay close (yeah)
Listen to me and shake those (oh)

I'm trying to tell you 'cause I've been in the game
I've been everywhere, done 'bout everything
Got some non-believers with a whole lot to say
Step around, I'll step over 'em 'cause they're just in the way

Well, it seems like everywhere I go (come on, son)
People gossip and won't they let it go (tell a story)
Certain people I won't name, no names
I'm just talking 'bout what I'm talking 'bout
Lord have mercy

Shysters (shysters) and wannabees (and wannabees)
Gold diggers (gold diggers), putting on the squeeze (on the squeeze, yeah)
Backstabbers that stay close
Listen to me and shake those (oh)

You've got the shysters (shysters) and wannabees (wannabees)
Gold diggers (gold diggers), putting on the squeeze (on the squeeze)
Backstabbers that stay close (yeah-yeah)
Listen to me and shake those (oh, oh)

Baby I need some help, that's why I'm calling on you
I'm out of my mind, just don't know what to do
Boy I'm trying to tell you right, wouldn't say nothing wrong
I hope you realize by the end of this song

People say they my friend like they opening doors
But they just fools running around in sheep's clothes
Keep on doing what you do
Don't worry about it 'cause they talk about me, talk about me, yeah

Shysters and wannabees
Gold diggers, putting on the squeeze (mm, ay)
Backstabbers that stay close (ay, yeah)
Listen to me and shake those

Shysters and wannabees
Gold diggers, putting on the squeeze
Backstabbers that stay close
Listen to me and shake those

I just don't know what I'm gonna do
I know it's gonna be like this Willie
Don't worry about it young player
It's gonna be all right
