Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
[Chorus]
I see 'em play pretend
Talkin', but they ain't makin' sense
Loyalty lost in the wind
We gon' see who winning in the end, yeah
Arms-length when we shake hands, yeah
They thinkin' they the man, ayy
But I don't give a damn (Yeah)
Fuck it, I'ma beat 'em in the end (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
If there's one thing that I know to be true
If there's something on my mind, I'ma speak it in the booth (Tell 'em)
They ain't puttin' they brains to good use
If there's a lion in the cage, then you wouldn't cut it loose (Ah)
If God got me, I could never lose (Never lose)
There's a side I could never choose (Nah)
Exposure been the best excuse
No such thing as a better noose
I even take defeat with a bit of grace
But every now and then, you gotta put 'em in their place
Became champs off the energy I gave 'em
And got their credibility from keys that I gave 'em
I ain't leavin' space for a maybe
I'm goin' all in, you should save me (Save me)
If you'd been treated the same, you wouldn't blame me (Blame me)
It's too late, fuck you, pay me
[Chorus]
I see 'em play pretend
Talkin', but they ain't makin' sense
Loyalty lost in the wind
We gon' see who winning in the end, yeah
Arms-length when we shake hands, yeah
They thinkin' they the man, ayy
But I don't give a damn
Fuck it, I'ma beat 'em in the end (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's time to pay some respect (Some respect)
Ain't no sign of fear and I'm takin' my chance (My chance)
Yeah, it's quite clear where I'm placin' my bet (Yeah)
Who the top dog? I'm the ace in the deck (In the deck)
Matter fact, we the king, you the jokers (Jokers)
I'ma pull the pin on what's bogus (Bogus)
Never lost sight of my focus (Never lost)
I'm putting everyone on notice (Yeah, yeah)
Go ahead and test my patience (Test it)
I don't need an explanation (I don't need it)
More words? Hmm, save 'em (Save 'em)
I never been down with exploitation (Never)
You gon' lose some and win some (Yeah)
I been doin' what's never been done (Done)
Turnin' outcome into income
Yeah, I'ma go down as a real one (Real one)
[Chorus]
I see 'em play pretend
Talkin', but they ain't makin' sense
Loyalty lost in the wind
We gon' see who winning in the end, yeah
Arms-length when we shake hands, yeah
They thinkin' they the man, ayy
But I don't give a damn
Fuck it, I'ma beat 'em in the end
