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
