Snakes In The Grass

Caught me with a blindside
Ambushed, nothin less than sabatoge
Started off my buddy now my moneys bein camoflauged
I see em watchin, waitin plotting on my next mistake
Its aggravating gettind paid from several different ways
I'm just a music man put a Gibson in my hand
Around me up a pen and pad, i'll write a song thats really sad
About a boy that gave it all to show up on the scene
He can play guitar and sing but he joined the wrong team
Got a cut throat contract something like a kill shot
If and when you make it out you're so lucky if you're still hot
Will not ever be a puppet on a string
Doin everything you're trained man you got to stay away from the

Snakes in the grass don't be fooled
When they tryin to be smooth just lyin waitin
On the crabs in the grass dig right through
Little loop holes all around all that you do
They can sneak up from behind and get your ass
We're so cruel gotta watch out for the snakes layin in the grass
Snakes in the grass

I guess a couple million dollars just lost in the wind
And a couple people lost that i thought were my friend
You put em in they place but they brought it again
In this industry first man they taught me to grin
In the face of the snake tell the real from the fake
Learn to deal with the hate sit back and know your place
More radio friendly and a little less attitude
And they suck the creativeness right outta you
Then they mold you who they want you to be
And they only let you see who they want you to see
And a lotta these folks talk shit behind your back
Be the same sons bitches wanna get you on their track

Snakes in the grass don't be fooled
When they tryin to be smooth just lyin waitin
On the crabs in the grass dig right through
Little loop holes all around all that you do
They can sneak up from behind and get your ass
We're so cruel gotta watch out for the snakes layin in the grass

All these snakes with their spine bent and ambush is there intent
Don't expect a bite because the venems in the fine print
Similar to phythons with how they squeeze the life out your dreams
They show you things you never seen and then its lights out
Poisoned by a contract from a serpent of the industry
They're financial parasites and they envy creativity
I'm gettin sick of all these labels pretending like they gonna help us
Like where was you when i was broke and i was feelin helpless
Cuz they ain't give me no money just a marketing plan
But the profits went in your pocket cuz its always a scam
Cuz when that moneys comin in it makes you wonder the worth
Its like you want your cut but you ain't doin none of the work

Snakes in the grass don't be fooled
When they tryin to be smooth just lyin waitin
On the crabs in the grass dig right through
Little loop holes all around all that you do
