Watch Your Circle

Yeah…

They say watch your back,

I say watch your circle

Same ones smiling with you might be hurting you

Yeah

Watch your homie,

watch your circle, keep your eyes open

Love get complicated when the money start showing

I done lost too many,

got my heart barely coping Everybody say they real,

but the truth stay unspoken Watch your homie,

watch your homie

Everybody close don’t mean they really know me

I was down bad,

ain’t nobody come and hold me Now I’m getting to the money,

everybody say they know me

I remember cold nights,

had the rent past due Now they see a little motion,

everybody want a piece too Funny how the love change when the

checks come through Same ones saying “brother” might be jealous of you

I don’t trust easy,

I got reasons for that Lost friends to the streets,

can’t get ’em back

Mama told me keep my head,

keep my heart intact

So I turned every scar into a line on a track

I done seen loyalty disappear over pride Seen a brother switch sides

and pretend he ain’t lie That’s why when they say “forever,” I

just look in they eyes ’Cause forever ain’t a word,

it’s what you prove over time

Watch your homie,

watch your circle, keep your eyes open

Love get complicated when the money start showing

I done lost too many,

got my heart barely coping Everybody say they real,

but the truth stay unspoken Watch your homie,

watch your homie

Everybody close don’t mean they really know me

I was down bad,

ain’t nobody come and hold me Now I’m getting to the money,

everybody say they know me

I don’t want revenge,

I just want peace

But the memories loud and they don’t let me sleep Every loss

put another little crack in my grief Still I pray for my

people every night before I eat If you love me,

keep it solid when the pressure get high Don’t disappear when I’m

broke, then appear when I fly I’ve been learning that the truth

don’t always sound nice Sometimes protecting your heart means creating some distance

in life So I move with a purpose,

ain’t chasing no clout If they doubt me,

let ‘em doubt me,

I’ma figure it out Had to separate the real from the ones

hanging ’round Now the circle got smaller but the love more profound

Watch your homie… Watch your circle… Everybody with you ain’t for you.

Remember that.
