Snake Me
Navigating Shadows: J The Young King's Journey Through Trust and Betrayal
Lyrics
I know nobody after me but I still check my shoulder
I am cautious even though I don't expect betrayal; always watchful.
And you start letting go of friends when you start getting older
As you age, friendships may fade, and it becomes challenging to trust.
And it be hard to trust throughout the years my heart start getting colder
Over the years, trust becomes difficult, leading to a colder heart.
But I be tryna to listen to the angel on my shoulder
Attempting to heed the advice of the angelic influence in decision-making.
And I ignore the devil on the other one
Choosing to ignore negative influences or temptations.
Cause if I listen he gon' make me catch a murder uh
Fearing that succumbing to negativity might lead to serious consequences like murder.
Stay out of the way give me a beat so I can murder one
Asking for space to express oneself through music and potentially excel at it.
Don't get it twisted though you try my bruddas better run
Despite the artistic pursuits, a warning that crossing certain boundaries could be dangerous.
And I don't want to see you, you weren't there from the start
Avoiding those who were not present from the beginning of the journey.
I pray to God I be asking him to work on my heart
Praying for personal growth and improvement from a higher power.
The same ones say they love you they gon' tear you apart
Expressing skepticism about those claiming love; warning of potential harm.
The same ones when you make it they gon' say they need parts
Expecting opportunists to surface when success is achieved.
And I could care less if you hate me
Indifference to negativity and criticism.
And I Gotta make it lord don't let them take me
Desiring success while seeking protection from harm.
I ain't never bend so they can never break me
Asserting resilience and unbreakable determination.
And I love my bruddas lord don't let them snake me
Expressing love and loyalty to close friends, asking for protection from betrayal.
Lord don't let them snake me
Reiterating the plea for protection from betrayal.
It be the closest ones to you that'll get you done up
Warning about potential harm from those closest to you.
These niggas scary though they talking they won't never run up
Highlighting the deceptive nature of some individuals who talk but won't act.
And they gon' slide with them toys press here and try me if you wanna
Warning of potential consequences if someone attempts harm.
It's crazy how we got them pipes right without a plumber
Noting the availability of weapons without the need for external assistance.
And I know my bruddas ridin' that's why I'm gonna step for mine and
Expressing loyalty to friends and a willingness to defend them.
You might not want to be on the other side
Cautioning against being on the opposing side.
And y'all just talk to y'all ain't slidin' all of these niggas lyin
Criticizing others for talking without action.
My bruddas catch you you gon' touch the sky
A threat that encountering friends in a negative context will lead to consequences.
Y'all don't want beef y'all vegan'd up feel like a baby how I'm heating up
Dismissing conflicts and asserting strength like heating up (anger).
I called them niggas with all the mops they going to get to cleaning up
Contacting associates to handle a cleanup or resolve an issue.
You weren't there now you wanna be with us
Rejecting those who weren't supportive initially but want to join now.
Fell me what you schemin' huh
Questioning the motives and plans of others.
Y'all be quick to switch teams
Criticizing disloyalty and quick changes in allegiances.
And stuck in quick dreams
Stuck in unfulfilled dreams due to disloyalty.
But I know we gonna make it cause my bruddas been with me
Believing in future success due to enduring support from close friends.
Remember the days serving tables they ain't tip me
Reflecting on humble beginnings, serving tables without recognition.
But one day they gon' name the greats and won't be able to skip me
Confident that future recognition is inevitable.
I know nobody after me but I still check my shoulder
Repeating the theme of vigilance despite not expecting betrayal.
And you start letting go of friends when you start getting older
Reiterating the difficulty of maintaining friendships as one ages.
And it be hard to trust throughout the years my heart start getting colder
Continued struggle with trust over the years leading to emotional detachment.
But I be tryna to listen to the angel on my shoulder
Trying to heed positive influences and guidance.
And I ignore the devil on the other one
Ignoring negative influences or temptations once again.
Cause if I listen he gon' make me catch a murder uh
Fearing the consequences of succumbing to negativity, potentially leading to violence.
Stay out of the way give me a beat so I can murder one
Seeking opportunities to express oneself artistically and excel.
Don't get it twisted though you try my bruddas better run
Warning against crossing boundaries and the potential consequences.
