[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, hm

[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 n!gga tryna hold my s*it 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
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 5]
They love b0mb 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
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
