| Have you ever been betrayed? | |
| That shit's the worst hit of pain | |
| When somebody you loved can't look you in the face | |
| And have you ever had your heart torn out | |
| By somebody you thought was a friend | |
| And now your trust is worn down or bought to an end | |
| No pardons can mend it when you're darkened within | |
| **** your cause and effect, it's a hard fate to take | |
| And your reasons don't soften the sin, your dogs can bark for you | |
| But you gotta watch when you argue 'cause dogs will bite | |
| And snarl at you, just to remind you they're harmful | |
| I feel awful, | |
| I'm a mental case, shattered to pieces | |
| And I've got a palm full, past law school and beyond console' | |
| Cause you've crossed the bar with me | |
| Farther than | |
| I've ever thought possible | |
| My choice is now mandatory and not optional | |
| Don't speak another sentence to me, ever mention me | |
| I don't exist, convince yourself you invented me | |
| You've committed the crime of the century and just 'cause loyalty | |
| Ain't a trait you possess, don't think that | |
| I'll lessen the penalty | |
| I love you in a place where there's no space in time(And that's forever, right?) | |
| I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine(Only second to family) | |
| I love you in a place where there's no space in time(Who really got your back) | |
| I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine(How loyal are your friends, y'all?) | |
| What's your name again? | |
| I know, I knew it 2 seconds ago | |
| But, I don't recognize this second face | |
| Though to the first it's identical | |
| You were the type that | |
| I put on a pedestal | |
| Your acts were commendable | |
| But the bond of friendship isn't impenetrable | |
| And inevitably the blunt force of ego proved lethal | |
| To a good person forced to wallow in the shit of evil people | |
| Fundamentally filled with avarice, a cheat from the soul | |
| Spending their lives to make sure that you ain't achieving your goals | |
| Unreasonable kings that want to see you jump through rings of fire | |
| For their own amusement, holding nooses, hoping trees are higher | |
| So abusive towards you that truce just doesn't seem required' | |
| Cause why play the game when you can make the other team retire? | |
| Strings are tirelessly pulled in your favor as you play the rumor creator | |
| Twisting words till they sound like statements you made up | |
| With a big grin you soak it all in, as former friends | |
| Go face to face with contradicting convictions | |
| Plots are thickening, 'cause you pitched in, you feel important now? | |
| Must've been high as kite from snorting clouds | |
| Sorta proud of yourself, and the way you hold your ground | |
| Distastefully wore the shroud, how's it feel to have puppets | |
| To order 'round but | |
| I saw through you, even before | |
| I foundHow you would say no beef, give me dap | |
| And hit me with a quarter-pound | |
| Your loyalty's watered down, bottled with a squirt cap | |
| But when the drama popped off | |
| Where the **** were you to plug the cork back? | |
| I love you in a place where there's no space in time(And that's forever, right?) | |
| I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine(Only second to family) | |
| I love you in a place where there's no space in time(Who really got your back) | |
| I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine(How loyal are your friends, y'all?) | |
| Men are as harsh, as women are vindictive | |
| Picking apart minutiae, on some bitch shit, kids all in your business | |
| Forget honesty, nowadays you'll be lucky find that quality | |
| In a drama odyssey where cats never react responsibly | |
| And I'm jostling with haters, hypocrites and hypochondriacs | |
| Abolishing their dated ignorance and fighting copycats | |
| And if I don't give my patience a rest | |
| I'll probably take my anger to death | |
| Complaining about some pain in my chest | |
| Aged and distressed, thinking 'bout who just ****ed me | |
| Over 20 years ago, amazing how pricks can miss your skin | |
| Yet pierce your soul but where's the line at? | |
| Like where does loyalty appear to fold | |
| And what do you owe someone | |
| And just what do you feel you're owed? | |
| But yo, you know when you've been done wrong, that numb calm | |
| A breech in the moral code's eternally portable | |
| The moral of the story's old even if it's poorly told | |
| Beware of cats that straddle fences like the chain link rodeo |
