Switching Sides

(album: While The World Was Burning - 2020)

Murda on the beat, so it's not nice
Ayy

They switching sides, them niggas ain't riding
Them niggas ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They know it ain't tomorrow
They really acting like time really ain't borrowed
I know the sorrows
They switching sides, them niggas wasn't riding with you
They ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They acting like they know you, the things you go through
And they was never for you

Who do I blame? Balancing the pain
Valentino frames, heart full of rage
Hard to crack a smile when the scars still remain
Toast in the air for the ones who ain't changed
Dope dealer drained, Porsche in the rain
Nights on the train, squad screaming "Gang"
'Member watching Menace, really in the screen
Mama working double, I can still feel the strain
Don't keep a main, hoes be betraying
Lost to the fame, crossing the flame
Daps and the smiles fake, it don't feel the same
I come from the gutter, so I'm strapped and I'm praying

They switching sides, them niggas ain't riding
Them niggas ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They know it ain't tomorrow
They really acting like time really ain't borrowed
I know the sorrows
They switching sides, them niggas wasn't riding with you
They ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They acting like they know you, the things you go through
And they was never for you

Who do I blame? Look who I became
Roc-A-Fella chain, try not be ashamed
Of the friendships that you lose
When you're at your lowest time, you will confuse
Pray for better news, chasing avenues
You been grounded enough, you coming up, you from the bottom
Long nights, just to spite 'em, I don't put the top on
Better things, slander names, really tryna block 'em
All of that 'cause they're insecure to be forgotten
I'm coming down on here
It's getting cold down here
We getting snow down here
Can't slow down here
It's getting low down here
They letting blood out here
Click-clack, unload, reload, load out here
Done with the lies, I'm done with the lies
I'm seeing right through in they eyes, yeah, yeah
Tell 'em goodbyes, I'm yelling goodbyes
I'm seeing right now in their vibe they hate
Two of my brothers, we used to be close
And now we ain't speaking so much these days
Clear to me nobody's perfect, not on the surface
I hate to be one day late
Corner niggas switching for the linemen
Private school niggas flying private
They don't even stop when I'm arriving
Can still feel the hate when I close my eyelids

They switching sides, them niggas ain't riding
Them niggas ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They not here tomorrow
They really acting like time really ain't borrowed
I know the sorrows
They switching sides, them niggas wasn't riding with you
They ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They acting like they know you, the things you go through
And they was never for you
