chopping up the snakes

Get the fuck out the way when you see me coming, You did it once again, always taking, never giving. I'm bulldozing out the fakes, Chopping up the snakes. Gave you both my hands, now you're reaching for my place, Smiled up in my face while you plotted in the shade. I built the bridge for you, you just burned it Now I'm cutting dead weight, I m not carrying the blame. You stabbed me in the back, thought I’d never see the knife, But I read you like a script, every line, every lie. You were begging for a seat, now I’m pulling up the chairs, Turned my kindness into weakness, now I’m charging for the air. I was feeding you the game, you were stealing from the plate, Now I’m fasting from the fake, got no time for dead weight. You were smiling at my wins, but you hated how I rose, Tried to lock me in a box, now I’m breaking through the doors. I set the fire to the bridge, watched it crumble into dust, Every ember is a lesson, every scar is built on trust. You can talk behind my back, you can gossip, you can spite, But you’ll never dim my flame, I’m the power, I’m the light. reaching for my crown , your hands full of rust, Now I’m cleaning out my circle, only real ones that I trust. I learned to spot a snake from the way they shake my hand. No more favors for the faithless, no more mercy for the leech, Every word you ever twisted turned my pain into a speech. I’m the storm you can’t escape, I’m the truth you can’t avoid, You turned friendship into fiction, now your name is getting void. You can keep the little whispers, I’m too busy making noise, I’m rebuilding from the ashes, I’m reclaiming all my joys. You betrayed me for a moment, I’m ascending for a life, I turn backstabbing and deception into sharpened battle knives. Now I’m marching with a purpose, every step is set in stone, You’re a chapter that I closed, I’m the author of my throne. I don’t need you in my future, I don’t even know your name, You’re a bridge that I burned gladly, I’m just walking through the flames. Get the fuck out the way when you see me coming, You did it once again, always taking, never giving. I'm bulldozing out the fakes, Chopping up the snakes. Gave you both my hands, now you're reaching for my place, Smiled up in my face while you plotted in the shade. I built the bridge for you, you just burned it Now I'm cutting dead weight, I m not carrying the blame.
