Smiles Turn Snake

Yeah…

They dap you up, laugh with you,

Then switch sides when you leave the room…

Fake love cut deeper than hate ever could.

Everybody saying “bro I got you,” but they never really mean it,

Only hit my phone when they broken down and need it,

Smile in my face, whole time they scheming,

Turn around once, now they gossip for no reason.

I can hear the whispers through the walls at night,

Same ones screaming “family” ain’t nowhere in sight,

Acting like they solid when the cameras on bright,

But they praying on my downfall when I’m out they sight.

I done learned pain got a familiar voice,

Fake friends always make betrayal a choice,

Tried to keep it real while they played with my loyalty,

Now my trust gone cold like the middle of February.

Funny how they love you when you standing right there,

But the second you gone, they don’t really care,

Yeah they smile too much, but the energy weird,

Now I move alone ‘cause the truth too clear.

Fake friends, fake hearts, fake love in disguise,

Say they riding with you while they feeding you lies,

When you around they show love, when you gone they switch sides,

Now I keep my circle small ‘cause the fake multiply.

Too many snakes in the grass where I stand,

Too many fake hugs and invisible hands,

I gave loyalty out, they gave betrayal back,

Now I walk through the dark with my heart all black.

I was ten toes deep for people that would fold on me,

Shared my pain and my dreams, now they jokes on me,

Crazy how the closest ones can change so quick,

Turn your kindness to a weakness, then abandon ship.

I seen envy in the eyes behind the compliments,

Fake support got exposed when the problems hit,

Now I analyze every word and every promise said,

‘Cause betrayal leave scars that don’t never mend.

I don’t even hate ‘em, I just learned my lesson,

Real ones stay solid, fake ones keep pretending,

Now the silence louder than the fake affection,

Had to cut ties just to find direction.

So if you say you love me, better show it when I’m gone,

Not just when I’m there singing everybody songs,

‘Cause loyalty ain’t words, it’s what you do behind backs,

And most these people counterfeit, dressed in all black.

Fake friends, fake hearts, fake love in disguise,

Say they riding with you while they feeding you lies,

When you around they show love, when you gone they switch sides,

Now I keep my circle small ‘cause the fake multiply.

I don’t need crowds, I just need what’s real,

Too much pain made my trust hard to heal,

Now I move through the night with my guard held high,

‘Cause the ones saying “I’m here” be the first saying goodbye.
