Lessons Learned - Intellectual

I used to speak highly of people that I know

Til those people tried to kick me down when I was low

Two face fake smiles don't take it personal

Had to shed all the dead weight that's why I move solo

Cuz they needed me more than I'll ever need them

Vultures in the circle will try to bite a feeding hand

That's why I keep my distance, I don't need new friends

Everyone got motives but they tryna pretend

I've been solid

If a sucker ever diss me, they lying

I don't need to front on nothing

I'll claim it

So if you got something to say better just say it

Don't wait til my back's turned

Got no time for snakes

But I hear the hiss

If it came down between me or you

I would kill for this

Cuz I've been grinding for so long

Ain't no stopping this

Until I prove myself

They don't care bout what I gotta say

But that's just how it goes

You learn and you grow

I used to be in love with this chick that I know

Til she never stopped whining for me to love her more

She needed validation she could never be alone

Always questioning my intentions had to let her go

I didn't wanna be the bad guy in your story no

But I refused to play captain save a ho

You got issues you need to figure out on your own

I hope one day you figure out how to be alone

You say I'm heartless, reckless

Cuz I don't love you

Guess you forgot all the times I put no one above you

Now my priorities are straight

I don't got nothing to say

You speak reckless on my name

Throwing shots when you mad

I ain't catching none of your strays

You just mad at yourself

You don't know how to be with no one else

But me

So don't come for me

I've moved on you see

Keep your jealousy

We were stuck in a box

Now I'm finally free

Every mistake is a lesson

I earned my PhD
