Lyrics
Some of my friends ain't really my friends
Some people I consider friends aren't truly supportive.
Say it's all love but really it's pretend
They claim affection, but it's insincere.
Don't know who to trust in this world full of sin
I struggle to identify trustworthy individuals in a morally corrupted world.
So I stay to myself that's always how it's been
Due to this, I tend to isolate myself, a pattern I've always followed.
Used to play ball but fell in love with rap though
I used to engage in sports but shifted my passion to rap.
Fuck a nine-five I fell in with fast dough
I prefer quick money over a regular nine-to-five job.
People say I changed and turned into an asshole
Others claim I've changed negatively since my success.
I can never trust keep my eyes on the back door
Due to distrust, I'm always cautious and ready to leave.
Some of my friends ain't really my friends
Similar sentiment about friends not being genuine.
Say it's all love but really it's pretend
Reiteration of the disparity between claimed love and actual feelings.
Don't know who to trust in this world full of sin
Continued struggle to find reliable people in a morally flawed society.
So I stay to myself that's always how it's been
Consistent tendency to keep to oneself due to trust issues.
Used to play ball but fell in love with rap though
Reiteration of the shift from sports to a love for rap music.
Fuck a nine-five I fell in with fast dough
Emphasis on preferring quick earnings over a traditional job.
People say I changed and turned into an asshole
Perceived negative change by others due to my success.
I can never trust keep my eyes on the back door
Maintaining vigilance and suspicion towards others.
Cause some of my friends ain't really my gang
Some individuals I considered part of my close circle aren't truly supportive or loyal.
When it's time to turn up everybody wanna hang
Everyone wants to be around during good times but disappears during adversity.
When a nigga need help everybody act strange
People act differently when I need assistance.
So I had to boss up young nigga had to change
I had to improve and adapt to the situation independently.
Now I'm getting paid to write rhymes and act hard
My current income is from writing rap lyrics and projecting toughness.
I just want some love a big house and fast cars
Desire for love, wealth, and luxury.
I can't fall in love I blame it on my last broad
My inability to commit to love is attributed to past negative experiences.
Bet she feel dumb now she see that I'm a rapstar
Someone from my past likely regrets their dismissal of my potential.
Some of my friends ain't really my friends
Reiteration of the lack of genuine support from friends.
Say it's all love but really it's pretend
Repetition of the disingenuous nature of claimed love.
Don't know who to trust in this world full of sin
Continued struggle to trust others in a morally questionable environment.
So I stay to myself that's always how it's been
Consistent preference to keep distance due to trust issues.
Used to play ball but fell in love with rap though
Previous reference to shifting interest from sports to rap music.
Fuck a nine-five I fell in with fast dough
Continued preference for quick income over a regular job.
People say I changed and turned into an asshole
Perceived negative transformation by others due to my success.
I can never trust keep my eyes on the back door cause
Maintaining vigilance and suspicion towards others' intentions.
When you start succeeding watch the envy come
Cautioning about envy arising once success is achieved.
Never doubt it promise you the hate can come from anyone
Warning about unexpected negativity and hate from various sources.
When you get that power start controlling how your city run
With power comes the ability to influence but also control.
It's plenty fun
There's enjoyment in this new lifestyle.
Tryna stop the violence but it's plenty guns
Efforts to curb violence are challenged by the prevalence of firearms.
Plenty nights I was out here tweaking I was risking life
I've taken risks and lived dangerously on numerous occasions.
Plenty guys envy me they tryna start up plenty fights plenty times
Many envy and attempt to provoke conflicts.
Country boy been dreaming bout the city lights with pretty vibes
A rural upbringing contrasted with aspirations for an urban, glamorous life.
Told me drop the tape I gotta get it right
Pressure to release a successful music project.
