I drop jewels so I'm giving you golden wisdom
You'll know detention if your co-defendant knows your business
Keep it very discreet, don't you risk it
Or show commitment to any friend who shows resentment
Show em distance, don't speak or roll with snitches
Or let emotion deceive you
Don't be beefing over women
Who queens never put kings in those positions
They know commitments a privilege, so they show persistence
Can only strengthen what weak minds won't envision
I respect a foe more than a phony friend with rouge intentions
If we the same team, no contention
If we on the same page, you know the sentence
Some people only call when they're broke or bidding
Other than that they don't remember your existence
No love lost, I find myself no longer caring
Under these circumstances I'm overstanding

It's essential to question who's really with you
Unconditionally, not only when beneficial
The devil was an angel, his intentions
Got him removed from paradise, views conflicted

I can give you jewels to survive
But you would rather wear jewels to shine
A chain is bondage to foolish minds
Consume lies, they can't handle the truth is bittersweet
Beef is something I don't pursue
Simple and plain, please don't get it confused
If it's survive or die, I will eat your food
I'm a different cloth from he who is getting consumed
Should've been more informed, now he in the news
When you do well and people you assumed are cool ain't enthused
Those the ones you need to remove
Anybody with animosity is not to be trusted
Handle it properly, when the grass get greener
Watch the weeds of deception grow into plots and schemes
Stay up, it's the opposite of rocked to sleep
Make your own bed don't let nobody stop your dream
Especially when you know you got mouths to feed
