King Book - Poison

Yeah

I keep my head on a swivel for the fakes and the phonies
Some of the most venomous snakes be your homies
The only people you can trust are your family and yourself
And these women that you lust
Only care about your wealth
It ain't good for your health
That's why I move in stealth
Cause if you don't love Book on the floor
You don't get Book on the top shelf
I keep that energy
Cause too many times, I let toxicity enter me
Filled me with poison
I'm sick and tired of it
When these people try to bring you down, rise above it
Lies covered with the false love and manipulations
They wanna see you fall but still say "Congratulations!"
Using conversations and relations just to build you up
You turn your back, they pouring cyanide into your cup
I gave 'em too many chances to prove me wrong
But they all proved me right
That's why I'm writing the song

Sometimes this life make me not wanna live no mo'
Seen more poison than the boys in Bell Biv DeVoe
There's only so much you can take before you break
And you end up hurting somebody that you love by mistake
And it seems that it's hard to separate the real from the fake
When everybody fist bumping
Making up secret handshakes
There's so much I got to learn
Need to speak with Drake
So he can teach me everything I need to know to stay awake
Cause when you start to fall asleep
That's when they poison you
Eyes wide open cause I'm hoping Nobody running up on my crew
Everybody gonna do what they really wanna do
So keep a close chosen few friends up in your circle too
And if a stranger hands you a glass Then decline it
If you ask me, that's not a friend
That's just how I define it
They put a smile on their face
Making you believe
That what they got is good for you Then you end up just like Eve

Poisoned
