//Intro
Bleed you dry
Take every breath, see you die
Watch you fall and just lean aside
Shake your hand, bleed you dry
Take every breath, see you die
Watch you fall and just lean aside
Shake your hand, bleed you dry
Take every breath, see you die
Watch you fall and just lean aside
//Pre-Hook
Most expensive thing I bought was the lesson I learned
The only things I ever got were the things I earned
Most expensive thing I bought was the lesson I learned
The only things I ever got were the things I earned
//Hook
Watch ‘em gas you up just to say they own you
They weren’t with you from the start, man, they barely know you
They won’t see inside your heart when they tear you open
Nah, they just after what you got, man, they’ll leave you broken
Just to fuck you over
Shake your hand, bleed you dry
Take every breath, see you die
Watch you fall and just lean aside
Stab your back and then meet your eye
Shake your hand, bleed you dry
Take every breath, see you die
Watch you fall and just lean aside
Stab your back and then meet your eye
//Verse (Hyde)
Watched you work hard, and then grow fast
Study legends and then blow past ‘em
Don’t ask if you were good enough
We both know that, you coulda stood above
Head and shoulders higher than the runner up
But you weren’t comin’ up
You were grindin’ hard, but you weren’t runnin’ up numbers
You wanted ‘em, some of ‘em slumbered
You wondered what others were doin’ to do it
You thought you pursued it
But you just got good at the music, nobody heard it
You were still losin’, it was perverted
Nothin’ you're doin’ was workin’ (Workin')
Knew they would love it if they would just give you a shot, ay
If they would just give you a spot, ay
You could go straight to the top, ay
Then you met some folks who said they could fix it
You were good, you just needed mixing
A little fiction, just to spice you up
A different vision, man, I like you, but
You need a slight adjustment, I think I could come up
Make it nice or something, for a couple hundred
Yeah I know it costs, but ain’t nothin’ free
You can blow up, man, guaranteed
So they sold you on some pipe dreams
They promised fans and stacks of cash and all these nice things
Tellin’ stories ‘bout what might be
I guess the ending’s just too likely
Too many got a story like me
//Pre-Hook
Most expensive thing I bought was the lesson I learned
The only things I ever got were the things I earned

The only things I ever got were the things I earned

Just to fuck you over
Shake your hand, bleed you dry
Take every breath, see you die
Watch you fall and just lean aside
Stab your back and then meet your eye
Shake your hand, bleed you dry
Take every breath, see you die
Watch you fall and just lean aside
Stab your back and then meet your eye
//Verse (Yaydo)
My, my, how the world turns
You getting real slick with them nouns, verbs
Perfected the craft, avoided distractions
Turned down the help so it’s all yours
That’s a smart swerve, but the heart yearns
Isn’t this fitting
Your humble beginnings insighted your hunger for winning
But what if I told you that this could be all yours
Just sign on the dotted line, it’ll be fine, man, quit bein' so cautious
You don’t wanna be a primadonna missing out on his prime to scared for losses,
Look at the way you rhyme, handle your lines, virtually perfect, flawless
Everything can be exactly how we had designed it bro, trust me, promise
You want the fancy cars
The fastest broads
The fans abroad
The admiration of all your scars
This is the fee, I mean, yeah, it costs
But it’ll be worth it, fam, you're raw
I’ll take care of everything, hand it off
A minor adjustment, man that’s all
Leave it to me you’ll be blasting off
You want the power it could be ours
We could be galavanting with the stars
Imma get everything that I thought wasn’t attainable, keep on cranking out them bars
I could be something akin to a god
I could make everyone love me
I mean love you
What’s wrong?
Don’t you trust me?
