• You Know Who You Are

You were there from the start/
taught me to be aware of the sharks & prepare for the dark/
you kept a secret you practiced what you were preaching against/
your inner demons were praying I would tear apart/
you won't admit but you competed just a little a bit/
I could tell cause you'd be heated over little sh*t/
telling me to quit trying & get real/
I got a little shine you was like big deal/
I was pursuing dreams, steady doin my thing/
you wasn't doing the same you wasn't doing a thing/
from my truest to a brutes to a judas/
to who knew that this would happen/
but the fraction was brewing it seems/
I should have seen, mistaking smoke for a little steam/
it turned to fire you burned me hoping to ruin me/
I won't even mention your name in the bars, it's too close to the scars/
but I'm sure n*gga you know who you are/

Chorus
You Know Who You Are

You were there from the start/
you told me what ever I'm doing to do it from the heart/
I was pursuing a dream that was cloaked in the cloth of the uncertain/
making money music & art and it wasn't perfect/
you told me what ever's worth it is worth hurting/
double edge seemingly sharp, rather unnerving/
but still, you believed in a brother/
I was starving as an artist, you was feeding a brother/
you could see in a brother what I couldn't see myself/
when couldn't see myself needing help/
one reason or another I was trying to do it all/
there's allot of ways to fail but that's the fastest to the fall/
but through it and after all you was with me not against/
you cheered me from the bench/
and now you're with me as I ball/
and that meant, I ain't got to mention your name in bars/
you know you're close to my heart/
so I'm sure that/

Chorus

You were there from the start/
before you were even aware of a plan you part/
of the scheme, grand as it could seem at the top/
man can only go so high before you reached where we can't breath/
but you know your limitations you walk patient/
while everybody starts to run for their plan B/
like a fire escape, but you stay in the kitchen/
let them sleep on their dreams, you just lying awake/
you stay eyeing the cake, they getting greedy/
and then they turn their side against you like their getting sleepy/
try to prevent you cause you ain't too what they bout/
get in your mental convince you to take the way out/
please, let them try, let the me fail/
let them tell lies on you let them be/
let them see you prevail/
let them bail on their attempt to stunt a star/
in any event be sure that you know who you are/

Chorus
