They smile in your face but plot behind your back
When you winning they scheming, that's a fact (yeah)
Dead weight hanging on your every move
Acting like they love you but they disapprove (uh)
Jealous of the progress that you made yourself
While they sitting idle wishing for your wealth
Fake embraces, phony conversations
But when it's time to ride they got complications (what)
You think you know me
But you don't really know me
(La la la, oh oh oh)
They want what you got but they won't work for it
Smile to your face then they talk that nonsense (ABABCC)
Hate to see you shine, hate to see you blessed
Fake love in their hearts, envy in their chest
Always in your business, always in your space
Can't stand when you winning, jealousy they embrace
You was there when I had nothing at all (nothing)
Now I'm standing tall and you plotting my fall
Talking sweet but your intentions are sour
When I needed help you was counting the hours (tick tock)
Now you see me rising, now you wanna be close
But I remember clearly when you wanted me ghost
Snake in the grass with a venomous bite
Acting like my friend but you pray for my plight (damn)
Break it down now
Who really got your back when the lights go out? (nobody)
Who really standing there when you filled with doubt? (nobody)
False friends scatter when the storm clouds form
Real ones weather every single storm (real talk)
(Instrumental break with ad-libs)
Yeah, yeah, uh
That's how it goes
Fake love, fake friends
Story of my life, yo
They want what you got but they won't work for it
Smile to your face then they talk that nonsense
Hate to see you shine, hate to see you blessed
Fake love in their hearts, envy in their chest
Always in your business, always in your space
Can't stand when you winning, jealousy they embrace
I see through the mask that you wear every day (I see you)
Acting like you real but you fake anyway
Dead weight on my shoulders, dragging me down
But I cut loose the anchor, now I own this town (my town)
You thought that your hatred would make me quit
But your negativity just made me more legit (more legit)
While you waste your time plotting on my success
I keep pushing forward, couldn't care any less (nah)
They smile and they laugh but they pray that you fall (oh oh oh)
That's the price of success, got to rise above it all (la la la)
Fake friends will reveal themselves in time
Keep your circle tight and your vision aligned (yeah)
