[Chorus: Silentjay]

I gotta let you go, let's go, let's go

You know I

Yeah, get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, heh


[Verse 1: Remi Kolawole]

If you don't love yourself, you're a target

'Cause your head is out of shape like Hey Arnold

And you can't find the iron to make karma

People gonna see that you're weak, take advantage

Anybody can get it 'cause everybody after money, money, money

And everybody got a mask on

See it in my aunt, my pa, my brah, my partner

My manager's ending that faster, hard to believe

When you're blind by fate, it gets harder to read

Who's fake? Who's snake? Who's part of the team?

Two-faced, two face, yeah, I'm startin' to see

On the scene with the eyes on my dollar and dream and

Hurts that my brothers aren't part of the scheme

They lean like cough syrup on their per diem

Just sit home, rip cones, imitating a leech

Gave away thousand, gave my mates housin'

Made them my bed, stayed on stained couches

They'll repay me by breakin' these boundaries

What they say 'bout me, thinkin' I've found it

Cowards that I stayed down

Regardless how far your math, I gave power

And I gave counsel that I should've given to me

Watch out, 'cause the snake closer than you think, ya hear


[Chorus: Silentjay]

No, not today, not today, not today

You know I ain't always the guest that gives out

Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah

Ain't always the guest that gives out

I gotta let you go, let's go, let's go

You know I ain't always the guest that gives out

Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah

Ain't always the guest that gives out


[Post-Chorus: Remi Kolawole]

Please beware of the reptile

You don't know where they're hiding

Please beware of the reptile

If you're not careful, they're hidden beside ya


[Verse 2: Remi Kolawole]

Ayy, ayy, ayy, look

You were my closest, we've been bros since

Nintendo 6-4, Banjo-Kazooie

You knew me in dark, dark clothing

Discman holding Usher or Hovi

Gave me my first ciggie, I smoked it

Weed, you rolled it, me, I toked it

And every time they told me I'm hopeless

You would say, "Focus, dust your shoulders off

'Cause you got a whole lot to do

Don't stop until they all flock to you

It's for us, by us, like we rock FUBU

So if they take shots 'cause they lost, boo-hoo

But then we separated and they got to you (Ooh, ooh)

Brainwashed in the bong water

Lost your best mate to court dates, cops' order

Made some new friends, went wild and got caught up

In the bullshit, too blind to watch all the shit we built

Go downhill like a Longbottom

But I love you, it's why I wrote this intervention

But the snake in the mirror livin' in my reflection


[Chorus: Silentjay]

No, not today, not today, not today

You know I ain't always the guest that gives out

Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah

Ain't always the guest that gives out

I gotta let you go, let's go, let's go

You know I ain't always the guest that gives out

Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah

Ain't always the guest that gives out


[Post-Chorus: Remi Kolawole]

Please beware of the reptile

You don't know where they're hiding

Please beware of the reptile

If you're not careful, they're hidden beside ya


[Outro: Silentjay]

I only want

To be there

In this life
