I've been there when you needed me the most

Had your back when you were broke

I've shown you love when there's no hope

You were my friend, like blood

Like brothers, like family

And I say damn

Where would you be without me?

Without me.

I'm fucking tired of playing god when you in need

The choices you made are on you completely, what's it got to do with me?

You mobbing through the streets, clueless but it's not like you could see

You know I'm cool, so you take it like it's an opportunity

To get some free money, damn you ain't got no shame

You been living off of my dough, bitch I'm not your bank

You be asking to borrow knowing that you not gon' pay

Abusing the privilege my nigga, that is not okay

Why don't you get it? I shouldn't have to explain it

Our foundation should be on some real shit, not you asking for payments

So create a dream, then get off your ass and then chase it

I'm mad and frustrated dealing with this shit, I'm lacking the patience

You the homie, I don't mind you coming around dog

But I should not have to pay for your downfall

Choose your faith, but still even if your day don't seem great

Just know I got your fucking back either way, you already know.

Without me.

Now my own family tripping, I ain't think I would get this shit from siblings

The money I'm making is yours right? it's a given

Let me tell y'all why I get a different feeling

Y'all was living good watching me and my momma struggle once we get the bills in

I don't recall any help or sympathies

Since 15 I been paying rent, you know what that did to me?

Could have been here, had this rap shit popping off, if y'all had lent the hand

But y'all wasn't worried 'bout helping us, you had a different plan

Focused on yourself, and now you holding on for help

You were self centered, and that was just an open door to hell

Oh, you need some money now, yeah of course I know the deal

You want the benefits without playing the courses on the field

You ain't even doing your best or trying

Don't ask me for shit unless you dying, this is me testifying

Just know that when your bright days going straight

I couldn't have your back without feeling strange but you already know.

Money can leave you isolated cause people are shady

So why debate it? they love cash and fantasize to make it

To get it, we'll fight and break shit, develop unrighteous ways

Even taking the side with satan, thankfully I've awaken

Foes who abused the privilege by having those who were gifted

Around them close and they vision, stop corroding your friendships

Don't be having your hands out, smiling, hoping to get shit

Mooching off of a man's treasure is bogus and it's just

Not the way you should function with brothers when you're amongst 'em

That is what we call punk shit and it can leave you stuck in

A boat that's already sunken, this can happen to anyone

Sisters, brothers and cousins, they disrespecting, then fuck 'em

That's the way that the fountain leaks, keep on pushing your boundaries

In due time I am bound to see all the snakes that surrounded me

I know that if my brightest days turn gray

You wouldn't have my back unless there was pay, it ain't no secret.
