[Verse 1]
Okay I've been around
And I've seen it all
If that shit is fake
Don't get me involved
'Cause you and I don't correspond
You said you're real but you're acting odd
'Cause the people you said
You weren't even tight with
Turns out you and them are the tightest
Passing around secrets
Keeping it private
Like yo he's back keep it quiet
And I don't mind it
I ain't really tripping
But what I hate is all the bullshiting
Saying you stayed the same
But you really changed
And I changed too
I'll admit it
But my change came with age
You changed because of your foolishness
That's a huge difference
Ya that's a huge difference
You really let them trick you
I didn't
I told you they using you for their own interest
You weren't interested and chose ignorance
When they fuck you over I'll see your bitterness
That'll be very interesting
You once ditched me for a bitch
And expect me to let it slide
'Cause you and I been friends for
This and that long
This and that long don't matter anymore
'Cause you care more about
Your relationship with that whore
That you know for a week now
Than your friends riding
With you for years now
You're a snake and you
Can't fix things now
And you gon' act like you don't care
But you chose a side and it's clear
You can't come back around here
Okay I've been around
And I've seen it all
If that shit is fake
Don't get me involved
I keep my enemies close
As long as I keep in mind who they are
[Verse 2]
Okay I've been around
And I've seen it all
If that shit is fake
Don't get me involved
I ain't depressed
Don't get misinformed
I'm just disappointed
And that is all
My name and yours
Are heavily associated
I used to like that
But now I really hate it
We seemed like we were related
But now you're really faking
I can not take it
I can not ruin my reputation
That I worked for
I'm so wavy
Like a surfboard
You riding dick I don't know
What for
They might help you now
But when it comes to crunch times
They'll dumb you wow
It's your life not mine no
But I gotta tell you what's right oh
All you do is debate
But you never listen
Are you that entertained by
Stalking women
And you do it everyday
But keep it hidden
See that's what I don't like
The bullshiting
When I asked you about her
You act like she ain't shit
She sends texts
You awaited
I wouldn't know
If you two are dating
'Cause I can't be trusted
Right? I'm Satan
You can't trust me
But you trust them
Please tell me
How that makes sense
If I can't trust my father
Or my own blood
Why do I trust you
I'm taking back all my trust
That I put in you once
I'm done
Again
I ain't really tripping
But don't complain
When I'm acting different
'Cause I've been around
And I've seen it all
If that shit is fake
Don't get me involved
'Cause you and I don't correspond
I'll keep you close
I know who you are
[Outro]
Okay I've been around
And I've seen it all
If that shit is fake
Don't get me involved
'Cause you and I don't correspond
You said you're real but you're acting odd
Okay I've been around
And I've seen it all
If that shit is fake
Don't get me involved
I keep my enemies close
As long as I keep in mind who they are
Okay I've been around
And I've seen it all
If that shit is fake
Don't get me involved
