"Swindled" lyrics
Went from working for somebody to just letting that somebody become nobody real damn quick
Oh, to be right all the time, what's it like, being right in a room no one's in
I'll just raise a bottle, you can keep the cap
'Cause like Cole said, you're the reason that we laugh
Even if I wasn't rich, I would still be rich
In substance and in character, that's something you can't manage
And I know that I'm the shit, just had to prove it first
They come for the beat, but they stay for the verse
And just tell me one more time, point out where I lied
'Cause money talks and I ain't heard you say much in a while
I moved on to different shit, retired, then got bigger
And that shit happened right in time 'cause I was at my limit
I got swindled by my bank, my girl moved away
My mom been staying with me, had to deal with some delays
But, when nothing's working out, I have to put in reps
And I just set a PR with the world on my chest
And forgive me for a second, you know I have to ask
What's it like to know you lost out on the biggest fucking bag
And I know this shit it isn't easy, yeah
To dig a hole you can't get out of, yeah
But, me I had to go and lay my seed, and dead careers, they grow the greatest plants
Could've killed myself, I guess
Could've killed myself, I guess
But, I just took a breath in jest and let my kindness kill you instead
I just have a problem with gaslighting when it's dark times
Know, the times where you try and do your best, but they throw that fuel on a house-fire
I just have a problem with people that get away with shit
People that never really cared, but care a lot when you expose that shit
Taken too many high roads, and hell yeah, the view is glorious
But, sometimes you gotta burn it down so you can build yourself up again
And if that makes me an asshole, then so be it, I'm an asshole
I guess you could say I learned something from being surrounded by assholes
The difference is I can admit that shit, the difference is, I know who I am
The difference is that I won, you lost, and you really have to fucking hate that shit
Whatever though, congratulations, you swindled 'til the spindle ran out
And best of luck with your transition, 'cause you sure as hell ain't no man now
I got swindled
I got swindled
I got swindled, but
More importantly
You just got swindled
Oh, to be right all the time, what's it like, being right in a room no one's in
I'll just raise a bottle, you can keep the cap
'Cause like Cole said, you're the reason that we laugh
Even if I wasn't rich, I would still be rich
In substance and in character, that's something you can't manage
And I know that I'm the shit, just had to prove it first
They come for the beat, but they stay for the verse
And just tell me one more time, point out where I lied
'Cause money talks and I ain't heard you say much in a while
I moved on to different shit, retired, then got bigger
And that shit happened right in time 'cause I was at my limit
I got swindled by my bank, my girl moved away
My mom been staying with me, had to deal with some delays
But, when nothing's working out, I have to put in reps
And I just set a PR with the world on my chest
