Too Loyal...

As real as I can put it
Jealousy is real, and loyalty is rare
It's crazy, how you can be there for everybody
But when you need somebody, nobody seems to be there
You know, fake people don't surprise me anymore
Loyal people do

Is there such a feelin' as bein' way too loyal?
(Quincy Tellem)
Coulda caught me a bird for a war I started
But I found myself involved (turn, turn)
Is there such a feelin' as bein' way too loyal?
Touch road and I grew some roses
Got straight out the mud of the soil (turn, turn)
Is there such a feelin' as bein' way too loyal?

Always eight racks to show
How's the real whipped up for bro (uh)
Is there such a feelin' as bein' way too loyal?
Steady and slow always wins the race
I turned down million pounds and more (money)
Is there such a feelin' as bein' way too loyal?

Still grateful (turn, turn)
I still otmoney and I think that's a mindset
I signed for peanuts to my label (ugh)
'Cause I come up from nothing, and now it' just Gucci, coffee
(Turn up, turn up)
They said that the dough won't change you
But if you get stuck in fifty racks in cash then the jets can't touch you
I signed my deal on a Monday (one), Tuesday I blew some money (one)
Wednesday I patterned up pops

I'm feeling like I'm blessed by God, then mumsy (one)
Shutdown my show on a Thursday
Friday I had a copped out from early (one)
Uh, but the opps want clout more than they wanna hurt me
It's still losses and winnings, but the fans wanna see these drillers
They don't want me living, they want me existin'
You know how it gets in prison
Twenty-four hours is a drive-by shootin', I call that social distance
Uh, and they wanna blame me for all the killings

Coulda caught me a bird for a war I started (ugh)
But I found myself involved (turn, turn)

Is there such a feelin' as bein' way too loyal?
My family turned funny, he ain't got morals
I told 'em if you didn't cut with a oppers
Count me out a relation stuf (uh)
I still say "Hello" to auntie (turn, turn)
I'ma outta school whole parties
Or sips of a Supermalt, by now if you link up we dish out smoke
But that ain't my fault, I was mindin' my business up in o (one)
I had eighteen sets in the Addison Lee same time as none

Knots all in my 'mari jeans, my Burberry tee ain't match the coat
Coat is a trench, so I'm comin' for the trenches
Somebody told me I'm jugglin' both
I coulda caught me a coat if I drilled it
With my life at risk, oh no (money)
I got a hood to inspire, and a family to fee, I call that grove (one)
I got nothin' to prove (one), but I got all to lose
When I go die, don't call me a legend
Like prince Tutankhamun

Coulda caught me a bird for a war I started (ugh)
But I found myself involved
