Cross Me

[Verse 1] I showed love to some n****s who ain’t never show it back, Fed 'em when they was hungry, they still stabbed me in the back, Now I’m ridin’ with that iron, can’t be lackin’ where I’m at, Had to cut a few ties, I ain’t never goin’ back. --- [Verse 2] I was deep up in them trenches, I was prayin’ for a sign, Mama told me keep my faith, but these demons on my mind, I can’t trust too many faces, they be switchin’ all the time, They say love’ll get you killed — that’s a fact, not a line. --- [Verse 3] Every night I had to hustle, tryna make it through the rain, All this pain up in my chest, I can’t even feel the same, If you ever cross me once, you won’t ever get my name, I don’t do no second chances — I’m done playin’ games. --- [Verse 4] They was smilin’ in my face, but they prayin’ on my fall, I done been through situations, can’t depend on none at all, Had to stand up on my ten, now I’m built like a wall, If you cross me, then it’s up — I ain’t answerin’ no call. --- [Verse 5] Now they actin’ like they loyal, but they motives lookin’ fake, You was ridin’ with them opps, boy, that’s somethin’ I can’t take, I done gave you all my trust, how you turn it to a snake? Now my heart feel like it’s frozen — I can’t let it break. --- [Verse 6] They say real don’t recognize real no more, Had to learn that on my own, I was sleepin’ on the floor, Had to separate the love from the pain I can’t ignore, Now I’m stackin’ every dollar, I’m the one they can’t afford. --- [Verse 7] All them nights I was cryin’, ain’t nobody come around, Now they see a n***a shinin’, tryna act like they down, But I peeped all the envy, I can feel it in the sound, If you cross me, ain’t no mercy — I’m just standin’ my ground. --- [Verse 8] Now I’m movin’ cautious, trust ain’t somethin’ that I lend, If you cross me, we ain’t speakin’, ain’t no way to make amends, I done lost too many brothers, I can’t lose no more friends, Cross me once, then it’s over — that’s the start and the end. -
