Loyalty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My friends that turned foes don't owe me nothing
You can't betray those you can't reach
I put a blunt in the air, it don't mean nothing
I can't see hate through the smoke if my mind is at peace
[Pre-Chorus]
I blame myself as if I can see it coming
Fake friends leave when you're down
I'm not down when they leave
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes loyalty comes with a lawyer fee
Something tells me, "It's not true, life's a bitch that lives in you"
Something tells me we've grown apart
And there's no regard (No regard)
Which piece of my broken heart should I listen to?
[Verse 2]
A part of me wants revenge, I must get even
Eye for an eye, can't you see what I see?
How can you breathe against me if you're not breathing?
Money's all the revenge that I need
[Pre-Chorus]
I blame myself as if I can see it coming
Fake friends leave when you're down
I don't get down when they leave
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes loyalty comes with a lawyer fee
Something tells me, "It's not true, life's a bitch that lives in you"
Something tells me we've grown apart
And there's no regard (No regard)
Which piece of my broken heart should I listen to?
'Cause sometimes loyalty comes with a lawyer fee
Something tells me, "It's not true, life's a bitch that lives in you"
Something tells me we've grown apart
And there's no regard (No regard)
Which piece of my broken heart should I listen to?
[Post-Chorus]
Don't get me started on lovers' relations
If you just ain't seen one another in ages
You might fuck around, forget each other's faces
Just sign paperwork, dotted line, upper cases

How did this song come about?
The line itself “Loyalty comes with a lawyer fee,” originally came from some fake friends that eventually we’re trying to get with an ex of mine and started snitching on me and writing some statements and stuff like that. I ended up doing some time over some old stuff, you know what I mean? But it w...
What was the songwriting process like?
I’m constantly writing so you know, it’s a timeline really when I listen to my music of where I was when I wrote it, you know what I mean. I can remember when I wrote this song I was just going through a lot of stuff, you know. I got married once and got divorced, it was also another time where loya...
What has the emotional reaction to the song been like?
Those particular friends, I don’t speak to them anymore. You know once you, once they snitch on you, you got to kind of cut them off. They were long time friends, but when the grass gets cut, you know you got to cut the head from the snakes, right. I don’t speak to them anymore, I don’t know how the...
What are your musical influences?
Well I was a big fan of Jay-Z growing up, so I think a lot of my rhyme schemes and word play and so forth kind of comes from that, but melodically you know I was a big Robert Plant fan, I’m a Led Zeppelin kind of guy, so I think if you mixed the two together and I’m from the south, so it’s all 808,...
