Thought You Were Slick

Intro

Yeah, check, check.

You really thought I wouldn’t find out?

You smiled in my face, but kept the knife in your back pocket.

Newsflash: I see right through you.

Listen up.

Verse

You studied my moves, you learned all my flaws

You broke every single one of the unwritten laws

Called me your brother, called me your twin

But the second my back turned, you let the snakes in

I opened my doors, I gave you my trust

Left all my secrets right there in the dust

And what do I get for treating you well?

A front-row ticket to a personal hell

You gossip and whisper, you spread all the lies

Tryna pull me down to your microscopic size

But every bad rumor you start on the street

Is just a reminder of your own defeat.

Verse

You wanted the shine, but you didn't want the grind

You’re stuck in the past, a completely toxic mind

I’m leveling up, you’re stuck where you are

Trying to catch the light, but you're too far

You couldn't stand to see me winning, could you?

You plotted on my downfall like you really understood

The moves I was making, the goals that I set

Now you're staring at the throne with nothing but regret

Yeah, you thought you were slick, you thought you were clever

But a friendship built on envy doesn't last forever.

Chorus

Fake smiles, fake love, fake energy

You were never really down, you were just using me

Keep my name out your mouth, keep it pushing, bye-bye

I’m allergic to the drama and the alibi

So take your apologies, save all your breath

I’d rather ride
