Before I Lied

Like I didn't make it hard enough
They had me in a corner, tryna paint me with this tarnished brush
But I'm shooting, and while they talk of stars I've struck
I'm pulling up on MCs like "did you write that bar for us?"
Trimanosaurus to these carpet bugs
I'll call this finger opinion and throw it up when they ask for one
Got new money-making jokes like be careful who you laugh amongst
Hah, be careful who you laugh amongst
Like I didn't make it clear enough
They had me on the edge, looking down, in fear I'd jump
They said the flow seemed as weird as fuck
And I need to pretend to be something else to get this money
Just another obstacle, I see 'em coming
It's possible I could be wrong and they could all actually love me
I don't know
I've been here before, but I don't really trust 'em
Listen
