"Snakes In The Grass" lyrics

I don't say too much, cuz I can't trust nobody
I've learned loyalty ain't built for everybody
Genuine people don't say they will when they won't
Showin' love ain't difficult, so why is it so hard for you?

No tellin' who is real or who playin' the part
So I stay on guard
Smilin' in the light, hate in the dark
So I stay on guard
Snakes in the grass, ooh
Snakes in the grass, ah
Can't tell you who is real or who playin' the part
So I stay on, I stay on guard

I don't say too much, cuz I can't trust nobody
I'm learnin' that loyalty don't come naturally, not to everybody
Compromise my sanity out of loneliness, cuz that feel ungodly
Rather be in isolation than entertain these conversations
They like the thought of me as a concept
But they don't wanna peel back the layers
Cuz every time I let someone in my so-called friends, they turn into strangers
And I be scared to give daps out
Cuz now they got their hand out, reach out askin' for favors
And my heart and my head never seem to agree, and it's so hard for me

Cuz I can't see who is real and who playin' the part
So I stay on guard
Smilin' in the light, hate in the dark
So I stay on guard
Snakes in the grass, ooh
Snakes in the grass, ah
Give an inch and they take it too far
So I stay on guard

No tellin' who is real or who playin' the part
So I stay on guard (Stay on)
Smilin' in the light, hate in the dark
So I stay on guard (Stay on guard)
Snakes in the grass, ooh (Snakes)
Snakes in the grass, ah (Stay on guard)
Who is real or who playin' the part

Can't tell you who is real or who playin' the part (Snakes)
(Stay on guard)
Smilin' in the light, hate in the dark
Snakes in the grass, ooh (Snakes)
Snakes in the grass, ah (Stay on guard)
Who is real or who playin' the part
So I stay on, I stay on guard
