| Caught me with a blindside, ambushed, nothin' less than sabotage
|
| Started off my buddy now my moneys bein' camoflaged
|
| I see 'em watchin', waitin', plottin' on my next mistake
|
| It’s aggravatin' gettin' paid from several different ways
|
| I’m just a music man put a Gibson in my hand
|
| Round me up a pen and pad, I’ll write a song that’s 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, somethin' 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
|
| Ooh, ooh, they can sneak up from behind and get your ass
|
| We’re so (That's right) cruel (Ha ha ha) better 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 it 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
|
| Then 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 sum’bitches wanna get you on the track
|
| Snakes in the grass don’t be fooled when they tryin' to be smooth

|
| Little loop holes all around all that you do
|
| Ooh, ooh, they can sneak up from behind and get your ass
|
| We’re so cruel better watch out for the snakes layin' (Yeah) in the grass
|
| Snakes in the grass
|
| All these snakes with their spine bent, an ambush is there intent
|
| Don’t expect a bite because the venoms in the fine print
|
| Similar to pythons with how they squeeze the life out
|
| Your dreams they show you things you never seen and then it’s 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 pretendin' like they gonna help us
|
| Like where was you when I was broke and I was feelin' helpless
|
| 'Cause they ain’t give me no money just a marketin' plan
|
| But the profits went in your pocket 'cause it’s all was a scam
|
| 'Cause when that moneys comin' in it makes you wonder the worth
|
| It’s like you want your cut but you ain’t doin' none of the work
|
| I see them
|
| Snakes in the grass don’t be fooled when they tryin' to be smooth
