Fake friends

They smile in your face, but they scheme in the shadows, Counting your paper, they want what you battle. Claiming they real, but they fold like a chattel, Snakes in the grass, yeah, they rattle like cattle. I see through the lies, I don’t play with the fakes, When push comes to shove, they gon' break like the stakes. Trust is a currency, watch how it fades, Friends turn to foes, yeah, they switch like parades. Heart full of scars, got me guardin' my soul, Fake love around me, I’m just playin' my role. Keep my circle tight, only real ones can roll, Cut the dead weight, let the truth take its toll. I’m stacking my wins, while they plotting my loss, Learned the hard way, now I’m paying the cost. Keep my eyes open, no more blind to the gloss, Fake friends in the rear, I’m the boss of the cross.
