Dead Weight

You said we were kings, building empires together

But snakes only ride storms, not forever.

I put trust in the hands of people I called friend

Showed them the blueprint, let the grind begin

Every deal I made, every dime I earned

They watched, they waited, then flipped when the tables turned

Friends turned vultures, smiles hiding knives

Every handshake a gamble, every word a disguise

I carried dead weight, thought we all could win

But loyalty’s rare, and greed always wins

Dead weight, snakes in disguise

You loved the shine, hated the rise

I gave my trust, I shared the plan

You stabbed my back, now I’m my own man

Dead weight, fake love in your eyes

You wanted my throne, not my rise

I carried the load, I broke the chains

Now I’m running solo, profit from pain

I sacrificed nights, sacrificed friends

While you counted my loss and plotted your ends

Thought I wouldn’t notice the whispers behind

But ambition reveals the real, exposes the blind

I ain’t bitter, just smarter, scars now my guide

Every betrayal taught me who’s real, who lied

I built my empire, bricks from the pain

You tried to burn it down, but I weathered the flame

Dead weight, snakes in disguise

You loved the shine, hated the rise

I gave my trust, I shared the plan

You stabbed my back, now I’m my own man

Dead weight, fake love in your eyes

You wanted my throne, not my rise

I carried the load, I broke the chains

Now I’m running solo, profit from pain

Yeah…

Loyalty ain’t cheap, but treachery’s free

I learned the hard way, now the throne belongs to me

Every whisper, every betrayal, every fake embrace

Built the armor I wear, the crown I now place

Dead weight…

I cut the snakes loose, kept my vision tight

Now I reign untouchable, power in my sight.
