Selflessness HUMBLE, AND LOYAL

Loyalty, loyalty, I'ma hold it till I'm gone Black on, head down, carry on Loyalty, loyalty, that's the code I live Pour one, lay low, take it to the grave with me [Verse 1: 16 bars] Black suit, rain, hearse rolling slow Brother in the box, I'm the last one to know Split every dollar, split every meal Now I'm splitting the silence, I can't hide how I feel Snakes at the wake, smiles on the face Hugging on my family, but they're hiding the hate Kept it a hundred when the lights went dim Real ones stayed, the rest were just a whim Cold hands, pallbearers, weight on the bone Same weight I carry when I'm riding alone Blood ain't the bond, it's the word that you keep Never leave a brother, not in life, not in sleep Candles burning, I'm learning what it cost Trust is a currency, and I've counted what I lost Vow at the dirt, on my life, I won't bend Down to the end, that's my word to my friend [Hook: 8 bars] [Verse 2: 16 bars] Rain on the glass, ghosts in the mirror Faces from the past, and now the truth is clearer Betrayal taste bitter, like smoke in the air Brothers turned strangers, and they don't even care Money get long, watch who you trust Real ones quiet, fake ones fuss Mama in the pew with the Bible in her hand Told her I'm solid, I'ma stand like a man Front row, tears, but I don't let 'em fall Cry in the dark, put my back to the wall Every name on the list, I remember every one Loyalty's a debt, and it ain't never done Ride or die wasn't just a slogan Now it's a promise, and my heart's been chosen You left me the fire, so I carry the flame Loyalty forever, and I'ma say your name [Bridge: 4 bars, beat thins out] Bell keeps tolling, but I'm still standing Ask me what I owe, I owe you everything [Hook: 8 bars] [Outro: bell only, 4 bars] Loyalty... till they lay me down too.
