Brush ’Em Off

Just about seen it all
From the bottom of the pit
To the top of the ball
I don’t wanna wind up caught in the dark
Feels like I’m swimming in a pool of sharks

People lift you up
Just to watch you fall
I don’t know why I even bother at all
Seems like they only wanna take me apart

You give ‘em your soul
Wind up breaking your heart
Sometimes I don’t know what I came here for
I was better off with no fame at all
What is everybody here complaining for?

They just keep messing my train of thought
Seems like the whole world’s aiming towards
My business, my life and I can’t ignore
They all in line
They all in line
Waiting just to get a little part of mine

And I get so tired of them talking about me
Everybody’s in my business
They tripping
They dog me
They just wanna use me
Confuse me
They call me
But I just brush ‘em off me

I just about had enough with the games
And as if it wasn’t bad enough
Blowing up my cell phone
Acting up
If they keep pushing I’ma back ‘em up
Cause that’s not what I’m all about

But everybody’s running off at the mouth
Soon as I’m up
They pull me down
What goes around comes back around

Tell me if it’s something that I said or I didn’t do
Is it really worth all of the drama
That you put me through
Now everybody got their hand out for a dime
Well, fall in line
Fall in line
Tryna get ahead
But you fall behind

And I get so tired of them talking about me
Everybody’s in my business
They trippin, they dog me
They just wanna use me, confuse me, they call me
But I just brush ‘em off me

I hate to throw salt in your game or call names
But half of these cats are
Three quarters soft and part lame
What is it raw cane that’s pumpin in y’all veins?

Listen to y’all
A screw’s missing in y’all brains
Now everybody’s talkin like they know me
They phony
Cause they don’t ever come around
Whenever they owe me

No stuntin'
No frontin', y’all
You don’t really want it naw
They fake and I cut ‘em off
I’m saying I brush ‘em off
