they play

Yeah baby, why do these people try to play me like a pawn, Acting like they know me, but they fade away at dawn, Chasing dreams in shadows, but the light is what I flaunt, Heart’s a heavy burden, but I carry what I want. Sip the pain away, drowning thoughts in every sip, Life’s a twisted game, and I’m just trying not to trip, Counting all my blessings, but the stress just won’t relent, Got a heart of gold, but they treat me like a rent. Fakes in my circle, yeah they lurking in disguise, Spitting venom in my ear, but I see through all the lies, Every tear I shed, I turn to diamonds in the rough, Keep it real, I’m rising while they’re stuck in all that fluff. Feel the weight of pressure, but I’m built to withstand, Haters throwing shade, but I’m shining like a brand, Yeah baby, I’m the truth, and they can’t handle that, Living life electric, while they’re stuck in static rap.
