Switching Sides

[Intro]
Murda on the beat, so it's not nice
Ayy

[Chorus]
They switching sides, them niggas ain't ridin'
Them niggas ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They know it ain't tomorrow
They really actin' like time really ain't borrowed
I know the sorrows
They switching sides, them niggas wasn't ridin' with you
They ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They actin' like they know you, the things you go through
And they was never for you

[Verse 1]
Who do I blame? Balancin' the pain
Valentino frames, heart full of rage
Hard to crack a smile when the scars still remain
Toast in the air for the ones who ain't changed
Dope dealer drained, Porsche in the rain
Nights on the train, squad screamin' "Gang"
'Member watchin' Menace, really in the screen
Mama workin' double, I can still feel the strain
Don't keep a main, hoes be betrayin'
Lost to the fame, cross in the flame
Daps and the smiles fake, it don't feel the same
I come from the gutter, so I'm strapped and I'm prayin'

[Chorus]
They switching sides, them niggas ain't ridin'
Them niggas ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They know it ain't tomorrow
They really actin' like time really ain't borrowed
I know the sorrows
They switching sides, them niggas wasn't ridin' with you
They ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They actin' like they know you, the things you go through
And they was never for you

[Verse 2]
Who do I blame? Look who I became
Roc-A-Fella chain, try not to be ashamed
Of the friendships that you lose
When you're at your lowest time, you will confuse
Pray for better news, chasin' avenues
You been grounded enough, you comin' up, you from the bottom
Long nights, just to spite 'em, I don't put the top on
Better things, slander names, really tryna block 'em
All of that 'cause they're insecure to be forgotten
I'm comin' down on here
It's gettin' cold down here
We gettin' snow down here
Can't slow down here
It's gettin' low down here
They lettin' blood out here
Click-clack, unload, reload, load out here
Done with the lies, I'm done with the lies
I'm seein' right through in they eyes, yeah, yeah
Tell 'em goodbyes, I'm yellin' goodbyes
I'm seein' right now in their vibe they hate
Two of my brothers, we used to be close
And now we ain't speakin' so much these days
Clear to me nobody's perfect, not on the surface
I hate to be one day late
Corner niggas switching for the linemen
Private school niggas flyin' private
They don't even stop when I'm arrivin'
Can still feel the hate when I close my eyelids

[Chorus]
They switching sides, them niggas ain't ridin'
Them niggas ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They not here tomorrow
They really actin' like time really ain't borrowed
I know the sorrows
They switching sides, them niggas wasn't ridin' with you
They ain't loyal, they didn't love you
They actin' like they know you, the things you go through
And they was never for you
