[Intro]
This shit crazy
In one week six people turned their back on me
Just like clockwork
It's these same people that be bangin' my inbox when shit gets goin'
Sayin', "Ay man, I miss you. I'm tryna fuck with you."
The truth is this is war
If you weren't there when I was gettin' shot at
If you didn't give a fuck
Then fuck you
[Verse 1]
If it's not one thing, then I swear that it's another
In one week I lost five bitches and two brothers
Everybody screamin', "Mob, mob, mob"
But then when it's time to ride, them niggas soft
All these bitches say they down for me 'til death
Then all these bitches must've died somewhere, I swear
Real bitches is rare
Swear I never seem 'em anywhere
Swear they say care, but they don't care
Real bitches is
[Hook]
Rare
You cannot find them anywhere
They ain't over here or over there
Real niggas is rare
I swear, I swear, I swear
They lie and say they there, but they ain't there
Honesty is rare
These two shoes up on my feet, that shit is rare
Name a time a don't have blammy on me, rare
If I shoot at dude and miss, that shit is rare
When you niggas tell the truth, that shit is rare
[Verse 2]
Opportunity never knocked for me, 'cause we ain't have a door
Been on my knees prayin' all my life, God ain't answer back 'til I got off the floor
Got some choppers, then got some more
'Cause I got in fights and then got in war
Ran out of dope and so I got some more
Bubbled up and went and got a whore
'Cause of course you know I had to get some more
Bitches leave, bitches lie
Puttin' your life in their hands would be suicide
I done tried a dozen times, I almost died
Everybody wanna eat, but none of them wanna cook
You're either at the the table or you're just another ingredient in the cookbook
Bitch I'm on that shit now, I don't leave the house without pistol
Puttin' this big ol' dick down your fuckin' throat's the only positive thing to do with a big mouth
I been ridin' Tesla, watch these do's lift up and then lift out
I was the first trapper to go electric, watch everybody be on that shit now
Neither stand up nigga, nor sit down
You left me bitch, you missed out
You the type to answer your nigga's prison call, and then hit two, and then hit pound
These niggas say they real and it's mob for life, then how the fuck you gon' switch now?
You go and sing to twelve, this choppa make a big nigga dance, got that Chris Brown
[Hook]
Rare
You cannot find them anywhere
They ain't over here or over there
Real niggas is rare
I swear, I swear, I swear
They lie and say they there, but they ain't there
Honesty is rare
These two shoes up on my feet, that shit is rare
Name a time I don't have blammy on me, rare
If I shoot at dude and miss, that shit is rare
When you niggas tell the truth, that shit is rare
[Bridge]
If I let you tell me about me, I destroy everything I touch
If I let you tell me about me, everything I did was not enough
If I let you tell me about me, I'm a monsta', I didn't love
If I let you tell me about me, I'm a machine, I can take a punch
If I let you tell me about me, I destroy everything I touch
If I let you tell me about me, everything I did was not enough
If I let you tell me about me, I'm a monsta', I didn't love
If I let you tell me about me, I'm a machine, I can take a punch
[Verse 3]
I can't fuck around with you snakes, so I levitate
I had people tryna take my life who didn't give a shit
Said that you was down for me 'til death, you tried to kill yourself
That's a cheat code, this ain't no game, get the record straight
You was only rockin' for a year, you don't know my pain
We all have PTSD over here, I just show restraint
You had perverts touch you in the club, that shit fucked with you
I had bitches touch me with no love, I had to fuck 'em too
My head and my heart been fucked up, you didn't help with that
You told me you'd be my girl for life, why did you tell me that
Why you bring a snake to the pack and vouch for her like that
Why you lie and say that nothin's wrong then hiss and purr like that
Why you feel entitled to my trust when you lie to me
That one privilege of yours got you fucked up, you called them guys on me
I'm gettin' war calls from my bros when I try to sleep
Real ones know that I am not a lame, and that I'ma squeeze
[Hook]
Rare
You cannot find them anywhere
They ain't over here or over there
Real niggas is rare
I swear, I swear, I swear
They lie and say they there, but they ain't there
Honesty is rare
These two shoes up on my feet, that shit is rare
Name a time I don't have blammy on me, rare
If I shoot at dude and miss, that shit is rare
When you niggas tell the truth, that shit is rare
[Verse 4]
You think that you understand it all, you don't know a thing
I never told you a single lie, you on your own thing
Why you paint me out to be an ape, I never hit you girl
You tryna put us all up in the cage, we live in different worlds
I pray for the future kids you want, their minds [?]
Just because you fuck with black men don't mean you give a fuck
Whenever I'm ridin' in the city, got my windows up
Hopin' that they don't see through my tints and take me for my love
[Bridge]
If I let you tell me about me, I destroy everything I touch
If I let you tell me about me, everything I did was not enough
If I let you tell me about me, I'm a monsta', I didn't love
If I let you tell me about me, I'm a machine, I can take a punch
