Mistakes (feat. SAM & Ntitled)

They told me keep your distance from the other side
They told me keep your business on the down low
But I just couldn’t seem to get it through my mind
That people’s hatred rises with the sizes of your milestones
They told me keep your distance from the other side
They told me keep your business on the down low
But I just couldn’t seem to get it through my mind
That people’s hatred rises with the sizes of your milestones
Until I gave my back to somebody I thought would have it
Got it back dripping blood because they decided to stab it
Shit hit me in the heart cuz I couldn’t start to imagine
Or fathom the reason for their unexpected reaction
Now I follow my gut and keep my mind awake
Eyes wide open across the room I’ll spot the fake
I can not go and slip up cuz there’s a lot at stake
I done fucked up I ain’t learned from the other’s mistakes
Thou that is faithful doesn’t get bit by the snake twice
You make the same mistake then you are bound to pay the same price
Do it one more again it ain’t mistake that’s what you call a vice
Now that I’m enlightened I wish I’d listened to they advice
They told me keep your distance from the other side
They told me keep your business on the down low
But I just couldn’t seem to get it through my mind
That people’s hatred rises with the sizes of your milestones
They told me keep your distance from the other side
They told me keep your business on the down low
But I just couldn’t seem to get it through my mind
That people’s hatred rises with the sizes of your milestones
Its always said to keep your friends close, enemies closer
But what happens if you don’t know who’s who
You’re insecure about yourself so you go searching for that closure
End up gassing up the ones that burn you
They told me study the person’s actions
Assess and guess the next move
Correct predictions mean that the colors they present are true
Eyes the windows to the soul so take a good look
Eyes the windows to the soul beware to get hooked
Beware because some curtains give you blurry vision
So remember to keep your mind in that correct position
Be sure to always try and figure out their composition
If foundation crooked then so’s the rest of the building
They told me keep your distance from the other side
They told me keep your business on the down low
But I just couldn’t seem to get it through my mind
That people’s hatred rises with the sizes of your milestones
Now it's my time to tell you my experience set
I did some shit I saw some shit some shit that I still regret
Thought I understood the world was killer confident
I walked with that bravado till I got wacked in the head
I should’ve listened to the ones that had my interest at heart
But I thank God my experience ain’t tore me apart
Cuz that shit made me stronger but it left me with scars
But what’s an armor without chinks that means I made it through war
I done
Fucked myself up
Way too much
And now I face the repercussion
I done put in
Way too much
And see what I got back was
Absolutely nothing
I done
Fucked myself up
Way too much
And now I face the repercussion
I done put in
Way too much
And see what I got back was
Absolutely nothing
