Day Ones

(album: LYSTening - 2017)

The trials and tribulations you all face, the ups and downs, everything you're going through... will only make you stronger

Been through too much shit in my life already
Fights, involved in plenty
That's why my minds all ready
I'm tryna keep my thoughts steady
From going just mental
I vent through a pencil, in hopes that it ends on an instrumental
The flow I spit is not coincidental
Just know it's essential to twist your temple
So much stress I'm battling
I've definitely felt insanity
I've dealt with death in the family
I've felt depressed it was damaging
I've got a couple ex friends mad at me
Cause they wan't me stressing with agony
Cause their life is a mess and a tragedy
Cause they never really set up a strategy
Like me, cause they seen that I planned and I plotted, now they're mad that I've actually got it
Cause I told them I'd make it they thought I was faking but now they all see I was honest
Its amazing what a little time can do
What a little time can prove
The lies from the truth
Deny me then lose
I dare you to come take a walk in my shoes

Cause I don' seen a whole lot
An I don' seen a whole lot
Whole lot, whole lot

Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from

You don't need friends that'll waste your time
That'll take up space in your mind
That'll say that they pray for you like they don't hate but you know they straight up lying
Cause the words that they say to your face are just not the same words said from behind
Pay attention those are all signs
Eyes wide open don't be so blind
The question is, who really has your back?
When it all comes down, please answer that
Don't mean to offend I'm just askin facts
Are they real friends or are you that attached?
I love when hate comes
Cause my day 1's
Will bust ya face up so come and say something
Watch you change up the conversation
To stay away from all complications
Homie be aware
Loyalty is rare
Fucking with my team you gon' need a prayer
Now you're really scared
We don't even care
We proceed to tear you gon' need some air
We ride for
Anything we want we do not fold
Get it pronto
Never grind slow
Let time show who's the honcho

Cause I don' seen a whole lot
An I don' seen a whole lot
Whole lot, whole lot

Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from

Keep a real friend close by bro
Like a 4-5 though
One that'll fight that'll ride on your rivals
That'll pull a rifle, if they had to die for
You and decide when its time for survival
Move past every wack fake phony
True cats in my pack mayn only
Cause I'd rather choose to stay lonely
Then roll with a two faced homie
You pretend to be
Like you are friends with me but I directly see that you envy
Don't expect to be even next to me and try to empty me of my energy
Been there done that get the fuck back
I ain't fucking with none of ya'll so fuck that
Runnin laps around you like a running back
A tough act to outdo I've become that

Cause I don' seen a whole lot
An I don' seen a whole lot
Whole lot, whole lot

Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
Real friends, day ones, fake ones stay away from
