Didn’t Work Out

[Intro/Producer tag]

Oh I think it’s marvellous

Whistling

Answer phone message

Clears throat

Yo



[Chorus:]

Had some friends that I used to be close with

But to be honest that didn’t work out

Had a few girls that I thought the world of

But to be honest that didn’t work out

Made some choices I thought were the right ones

But to be honest that didn’t work out

Had a few plans to get that dough

But to be honest that didn’t work out



[Verse1:]

Mmm mmm that’s a damn shame

Scrolling, see another go fund me campaign

Phoning, Phones ringing ha

Well trying to who am I lying to (yeah)

Phone live on do not disturb

I’m not accessible (no way)

I’m just protecting my peace

Is that acceptable? (is It?)

Wanna stand the test of time

I’m a collectible (mmm hmm)

You just wanna eat in to my time

You are not eligible neither is it edible

If it’s disrespect they don’t forget call em ele’s (elephants)

If a young bull see red I hope you ready (then)

We don’t say too much

‘Cause they watching like telly (then)

If my n***a pat his stomach

Then you know he hit the belly (then)

Know your worth, then add some vat (yes)

Let them n***as know that we ain’t cheap (mmm)

One time I drove past my ex house

Saw her outside i

Needed her to see the ride of course I beeped

Petty

Thoughts of a Patek

Should really buy a settee (yeah)

Mixed emotions

Mixed messages

Mixed priorities

This here the Diary of a

Major minority

We influence economy

Our first class should have been business (yeah)

Honestly

Do you even know

Why you wanna own a home? (why)

Own some knowledge, intellectual property

I know a little somethin’

If you wanna, talk to me properly



[Chorus:]

Had some friends that I used to be close with

[Verse2:]

When you’re everybody's go to (yeah)

Who do you go to? (well)

‘Cause they want you to go but (mmm)

They wanna go too (true)

Do they have your back or are they just tryna hold you? (i dunno)

Are they tryna drown the plant

Or are they tryna grow you? (help)

You don’t mess with someone who your people don’t mess with (never)

Next thing, you see them with said person In question, like (what)

Where does that leave you? (well)

What’s the rules? (mmm)

Loyal to a fault , comfort to a fool

That’s Promises (mmm)

Put your mouth where you wallet is (Caching)

Or your purse

We don’t discriminate we innovate

We build one another we support

We don’t intimidate (nah)

Don’t accommodate nor facilitate

Those silly imitations (silly)

We surpass and excel limitations (limi)

But Middle finger to those who

Chose to be the opposition (yes)

Never loved us anyway

They wanna stop the mission (hater)

I’m often shopping picking cotton

Never cotton picking

But sometimes I really find it hard to spot the difference

Exhausting our existence wearing chains in the range

Who am I kidding we work hard in our field

Only just to get a whippin’ (ha)

And that’s downplayed keep your fake outrage (please)

I don’t wanna see the highlights show me the outtakes (please)

A gain isn’t worth having if without pain (true)

And listen, you’ll never get a head without brain (good one)
