I bet you think this song is about you

[Chorus]
Yuh
I gave you time to earn the trust
You misinterpreting facts
My circle's tighter than your circle
I ain't circling back
They tell you "This is what I believe in
But the truth don't speak it"
It's so easy to pass a promise
But who gon' keep it?
I gave you time to earn the trust
You misinterpreted facts
My circle's tighter than your circle
I ain't circling back
They tell you "This is what I believe in
But the truth don't speak it"
It's so easy to pass a promise
But who gon' keep it?

[Verse 1]
It's a profession, they getting lost in their wars
Words only have meaning when they prop and enforce
Tanks doing battle, never dropping a corpse
Turn a blatant lie into a confident chorus
These fools go to schools
Spend a life, pay the dues
Gotta' learn how to pull
All the fight out of you
Gotta know every punch
Every strike, every move
Just to prove some common sense
End up exhausted and confused
And it's still not enough
Gotta' teach people how to kill all their love
Or gotta' feed hope and hope it heals all of us
Instead of something real to undercut the wheels on the bus
And it's round and round
Never gon' find where we might get out
And it's round and round
Rather let us die then incite shit now

[Chorus]
I gave you time to earn the trust
You misinterpreted facts
My circle's tighter than your circle
I ain't circling back
They tell you "This is what I believe in
But the truth don't speak it"
It's so easy to pass a promise
But who gon' keep it?
I gave you time to earn the trust
You misinterpreted facts
My circle's tighter than your circle
I ain't circling back
They tell you "This is what I believe in
But the truth don't speak it"
It's so easy to pass a promise
But who gon' keep it?

[Verse 2]
It's an obsession
They've forgotten what's real
Desperate for attention never stopping to feel
Less deliberate
It's just as toxic concealed
Talk is cheap
Just a tool to open options and deals
Love bombs developed for defense, maybe
Become a new weapon to test
To infect safely
Who to impersonate (to impersonate)
Who to invest in (invest in)
Finding someone open to suggestion
Then they take, not a lot at first, they wait
Need to find a better balance
Need the time to build a case, manipulate
Because of the look that's on their face
If guilt is not enough, you fill the violence in their wake
Make no mistake
It's a perpetuating system
Where they take over, and grays between the empathy and wisdom
All in faith
Green pastures just meant for cause
They pretend to find solutions to some fabricated flaw
(You can't escape)

[Chorus]
I gave you time to earn the trust
You misinterpreted facts
My circle's tighter than your circle
I ain't circling back
They tell you "This is what I believe in
But the truth don't speak it"
It's so easy to pass a promise
But who gon' keep it?
I gave you time to earn the trust
You misinterpreted facts
My circle's tighter than your circle
I ain't circling back
They tell you "This is what I believe in
But the truth don't speak it"
It's so easy to pass a promise
But who gon' keep it?

(Which side are you on?)
(Which side are you on?)
(Which side are you on?)
(The vanity to think)
(We all revolve 'round you)
(Which side are you on?)

[Outro: Spoken]
Well, when the mask comes off, and you see the truth of who that person really is, if you try to call them out on any behaviours or personality flaws that you notice, suddenly you're the villain and they're projecting that blame onto their target, and so, the relationship can change very quickly once it's secure
