Starting to realize I'm surrounded by the fake,
Stay in my lane, get the f*ck up out the way,
Loyalty thin, seen the snakes they slither and sway,
Pose to be my dawg? You don't check up on a nigga,
When I was down, you were nowhere in the picture.
Disappear quick when the air gets thicker,
Had to stand tall, on my own, got slicker
Eyes open wide, see through the disguise,
Trust gets costly, paid the ultimate price.
Lessons learned, wisdom earned, heart turned ice,
No more blindsided by those sugar-coated lies.
Stacking my chips, betting on me,
Found my strength in the struggle, finally free.
No more chains, breaking out, let it be,
Building my empire, only real ones that I see.
It's just me now, I've got the clear view,
Cutting through lies, found strength in what's true.
Trust is gold, too rich for their due,
I walk my own path, the real ones are few.
Had to redraw the lines, cut ties with the fake,
No time for half-hearted, no room for the sake.
Tested by trials, how much could I take?
Realized the real weight in every handshake.
Kept my circle small, quality not quantity,
Vision clearer now, no mist through honesty.
From the ground up, building up my autonomy,
Every step forward, scripting my own odyssey.
Bet on myself, cashing in every promise,
No more illusions, clear out the comets.
It's just me now, I've got the clear view,
Cutting through lies, found strength in what's true.
Trust is gold, too rich for their due,
I walk my own path, the real ones are few.
