| Don’t ever misinterpret me, I’m glad to be alive G*
|
| I put two and two together though and keep coming up with three
|
| It hard to rest when you see the evil some people possess
|
| Just multiply stress, my depression’s even depressed
|
| Countless times I extended a hand to help a friend in need
|
| Only to misread 'cause for me the same wasn’t received
|
| You called me when you was flat broke and wanted K hook a loan up
|
| When I said, «Cool», he was at my house before I could hang the phone up
|
| See, I’ll break bread and feed ya, these days homies’ll bleed ya
|
| Their procedure: borrow money and get selective amnesia
|
| You try to give 'em time but that seems to be worthless
|
| Knowing he owe you coming around showing you things he just purchased
|
| Then they start ducking your calls, you know how you can tell
|
| 'Cause all you get is half a ring and then it’s straight to the voice mail
|
| So, what the Hell, I guess I gots to leave these cats alone
|
| Another friendship dead and gone over a couple of hundred bones
|
| People so phony, phony
|
| I feel like it’s me and God only, only, only, only
|
| I can’t let it phase me, phase me
|
| I’m trying hard to keep from going crazy
|
| What? |
| To keep from going crazy
|
| When I detect a suspected lie, it’s hard to let it slide
|
| An artificial female friend milking your sympathetic side
|
| Money I would give, not lend, was down with her to the end
|
| Not from a tricking standpoint, I just considered her a friend
|
| Kind of mad I didn’t control this, never fathomed she would go this low
|
| But now I’m tripping over this repeat pattern that I noticed
|
| Like clockwork, an hour after every time she leave
|
| She be like, «Baby, I need some money, can you help me please? |
| «And I’m like, «OK, might pay a bill or help her knock the rent off»
|
| Every time she came around my gold-digger alarm went off
|
| But when I needed help and asked for it the game flipped
|
| She had more excuses than the pipe burns on a crackhead’s lips
|
| And it’s a trip, 'cause when it’s time to show me they my homie, they don’t
|
| And if I need them to do something for me, they won’t
|
| So now it’s all about me, one syllable
|
| And artificial people get cut loose like umbilical
|
| People so phony, phony
|
| I feel like it’s me and God only, only, only, only
|
| I can’t let it phase me, phase me
|
| I’m trying hard to keep from going crazy
|
| What? |
| To keep from going crazy
|
| The doctor checked me out and wrote me a prescription with the quickness
|
| But the side effects of the medicine were worse than the sickness
|
| See I sacrificed for others but the same love didn’t follow
|
| I wish I had a dollar for every time that I wished I had a dollar
|
| I regret sometimes not having a biological seed
|
| Any time that it was ever proposed to me I disagreed
|
| If they persisted to insisted, I just packed up and I slid
|
| Too many of my partners paying child support, «Arr Hell no, not the kid»
|
| But if I did, maybe hope would seem more realistic
|
| To be gifted with a reflection of my own characteristics
|
| 'Cause most people are senseless, self centred and pretentious
|
| Any show of love is meant to benefit their own interest
|
| My eyes are now trained to spot game when it arises
|
| The wisest people learn how to see through those disguises
|
| 'Cause fakers show more fiction or more depictions than HBO
|
| Fraud to real is a ninety-nine to one ratio
|
| People so phony, phony
|
| I feel like it’s me and God only, only, only, only
|
| I can’t let it phase me, phase me
|
| I’m trying hard to keep from going crazy
|
| What? |
| To keep from going crazy |
