[Intro]

Have you ever woke up in the morning?

Without a place to lay your head?

[Verse 1]

Yeah, it's all love when it's bottles poppin' and pretty bitches

You take a loss, you see who really with you

Sides is gettin' switched, niggas jump like a Philly Sixer

I watch 'em sell they soul, thinkin' it's gon' benefit 'em

Just to make a band, you know the shit that made Diddy richer

And fame'll make your dog turn crooked

Snakes in the grass, they start blendin' with the bushes

You think y'all both chasin' sacks like white and brown kushin'

Hurt your heat to realize that you the one that he was juugin'

And a broad, I can't trust 'em if I tried

Got play years ago, it's still fuckin' with my pride

Boy, I'm paranoid, got me clutchin' when I drive

My own homie tried to down me, nigga, nothin' else surprise

When that storm come, you either suffer or survive

Bounce back'll have your ass with David Ruffin in the sky

I'm just tryna dodge the reaper and the suckers in disguise

God forgive me, please keep these snakes 'round from near me, man

[Interlude]

You know also I had haters out there, y—

And it's-and it's always like that

Wherever you from, you would get hated the most

[Verse 2]

Yeah, you lose your soul if you thinkin' that you gon' please 'em, dog

Cam'Rons turn to Rico when the greed involved

Niggas turn snitch when that death by a needle call

When you eatin', they expect for you to feed 'em all

And if you don't, they only down with you that they see you fall

They say money is the root of all evil

But really when he broke is when a nigga most deceitful

You never know how people really feel long as they need you

D-Money took a bullet screamin', "I'm my brother's keeper"

And fuck what Brutus said, he loved Caesar

Can't even trust a preacher now they pimpin' out cathedrals

My uncle stole from me, went ghost and I ain't seen him

Same nigga been around since the day that I was teethin'

Bill said, "I'm crazy," well, I'm finally start believe him

When you've been through what I did, your ass is happy to be breathin'

Prayin' 'fore I sleep, still havin' dreams of demons

God forgive me, please keep these snakes 'round from near me, man

[Interlude]

And um-you know you have haters who

Who was in school with you and-and they mad because they was on that

They was in that-in that same third grade class with you

But they don't have the same hustle as you

[Chorus]

Yeah, I got snakes in my grass

They wanna see down, nah, I can't trust a soul, no way, ah

I can't trust a soul, no way, ah

I can't trust a soul

I got snakes in my grass

It's money on my mind, nah, I can't let it go, no way, ah

I can't let it go, no way, ah

I can't let it go, no

I got snakes in my grass

They wanna see down, nah, I can't trust a soul, no way, ah

I can't trust a soul, no way, ah

I can't trust a soul

I got snakes in my grass

It's money on my mind, nah, I can't let it go, no way, ah

I can't let it go, no way, ah

I can't let it go

[Verse 3]

Yeah, snakes in the grass, they want my fall, nigga

I'm cuttin' my yard like fuck 'em all, nigga

Every time that I feel, I stood up tall, nigga

I paid all my dues, it's time to ball, nigga

Pro'
