Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Law and order
You was in my corner, allegedly
What a fake supporter
Got a clean heart, I'm Tola's daughter
Daylight robbery of my soul and my world got smaller
Couldn't believe it was somebody I know, a smooth talker
Pride and ego, law and order
Got family ready to kill for me, yeah, get a man sauced up
But what kind of woman would I aim to be, if I can't even pray for me?
Don't expect no loyalty is what life taught her
What a life that threw me bricks
There's a story written by your favourite author
[Verse 2]
You're the highest paid, allegedly
God's saving grace, allegedly
You want the best for me, allegedly
But all you got is evil eye and jealousy
It's a lot to process
God complex
Finding Nemo
Pride and ego, law and order
[Verse 3]
I was going hard for the team
No one going harder than me
On a world tour everywhere
When I'm in the stu' rassing a beat
I was writing bars in my sleep
Pouring out my heart on my sleeve
You was moving like one leech
But your presence is far from a treat
They ask why I'm starving the streets?
This **** tryna hold my shit up
I'll never forget when you told me, give up
And that my big dreams were far from a reach
And then I broke the tide and brought sand to the beach
To the beach
[Verse 4]
Imposter posing, your life ain't candid
No song you make can repair the damage
Money, money
Money, money, money, money, money threw you off balance
Law and order
[Verse 5]
You told me be wary of the sharks and then you became one
What can anyone truly expect from a day one?
Moral injury
This is no longer a mystery, I know exactly how we got here
I had to accept I'd been had
Entitled people are
Lazy and as members we rationalise that
You're not for the culture, you're just for the cult
[Verse 6]
They love bomb you to start, then
Cuff you by the heart, then
Watch you fall apart, then
It's too late by the time they reveal their cards
I think that's an art
[Verse 7]
Recovery ain't just for addicts
When your gas lit, that's the work of a deeply insecure person
Emotionally immature person
I don't expect you're not a flawed person
But I thought you was good at the core, person
Our people is who we do this for, person
But that's not your person
I accept life has its ways
But I don't have to forgive to finally be okay
