[intro]

I watch the patterns… something off in the grin

Polite on the surface… but it’s rot underneath the skin

Hands out to help… but they hover too long

Eyes on the prize… while they play along

Small talk masking the scan of the room

Every gesture measured… every favor assumes

A cost that ain’t spoken… a debt that will rise

I read through the act… I don’t trust the disguise


[verse]

See ‘em help the elderly… fingers brushing the purse

Offering a hand… but rehearsing the worst

Fake conversation just to map out the place

Counting exits and entries while they smile in your face

“Bro I got you”… yeah they got you for sure

Watching what you got… plotting what to explore

They’ll sit on your couch… learn the locks and the doors

Then come back at night like they’ve been there before

Peeking over shoulders… memorizing your code

Quick glance at the screen… now your data is sold

Phone calls sounding friendly… “we’re just here to assist”

Till your savings get drained… now you don’t exist

Build up a bond just to break it apart

Use your trust as a tool… play position and part

I observe every pattern… every move is rehearsed

Good intentions spoken… but the motive is worse


[hook]

Some people are sick in the mind

They all have ill intensions (intentions)

Your tricks ain’t gonna work this time

You’ll respond with a blank expression (intensions)


[verse]

Pyramid dreams getting pitched like a plan

“Be your own boss”… yeah just build up the brand

But the brand is a ladder on backs of your friends

You recruit, they recruit, it just loops with no end

Peer pressure dressed up like “this’ll make you belong”

Till you doing some shit that you knew was wrong

“Just one time”… yeah that line never dies

Now you stuck in a cycle you don’t recognize

They don’t push they persuade… plant a seed then it grows

Water doubt in your mind till it’s all that you know

They stay clean in the shadows… you take all the blame

You the face of the fallout… they just fuel to the flame

Every word got a twist… every tone got a bend

Make the wrong feel right… that’s ill intent


[hook]

Some people are sick in the mind

They all have ill intensions (intentions)

Your tricks ain’t gonna work this time

You’ll respond with a blank expression (intensions)


[verse]

They befriend you to scope what you own and your space

Compliment every detail while they map out the place

Note the times that you leave… when you back, when you sleep

Turn your life into patterns they can harvest and keep

“Yo I got you a play”… yeah a quick little move

Next thing you know you involved in a move you can’t prove

Now your name on the line but they gone out of sight

You facing the heat for the shit they incite

They record what you say… twist the words for control

Now your voice is a weapon they use on your role

Even close ones ain’t safe… some intentions run deep

Sometimes ones at your table got the darkest beliefs

I ain’t paranoid… I just learned how to see

Every layer I peel shows it clearer to me

So I move with awareness… stay sharp and intense

World full of people with ill intentions


[hook]

Some people are sick in the mind

They all have ill intensions (intentions)

Your tricks ain’t gonna work this time

You’ll respond with a blank expression (intensions)
