Believe Her - Rapsody, Merna

My guard up nowadays, I don’t trust nobody

See what you glorify, I could probly guess what you think about me

What you want from me?

Cause you think I got it

Old friends I ain’t seen in years be like «Don't forget about me»

That’s some other pressure, enough to stress you out

How you gonna save a whole city and you ain’t got your mama out?

Questions I ask myself, in my shoes how you pick and choose

To refuse the help when they never loved you neither

But you do it just to keep the peace cause jealousy is evil

Peace less frequently, you just wanna be a needle

In a haystack, hard to find

Protectin' sanity cause all we got is peace of mind

And if you did believe, don’t get tainted by the shine

Who are you?

The one that get love from that nigga that go «doo, doo, doo!»

Say I’m doing big things, reciting «Gimme the loot!»

But who are?

When the party’s over and everyone is gone

When the world is over and we’re all alone

Are you a believer?

Are you a believer in my Lord?

Are you a believer?

Are you a believer in my Lord?

Will you be around when it all comes down?

Will you be around when it all comes down?

My guard up nowadays, I don’t trust nobody

What’s true if niggas are lyin', you ask Bill Cosby

Allowin' you like Bill Cosby, I be on some shit

Drinking wasabi, watching Miyagi tryna learn to split

Cause family miss you but time’s an issue when they 6

14, 7, 9, you look to 'em for innocence

Everybody’s intent ain’t the same

Dependin' on perspective, I could be the bad or the good Bane

Backstab you for not lettin' you ride the back of this train

On my coat cause everybody’s infatuated with fame, man

I got a feeling that they really don’t love me

I got a feeling I’m too dark so they think that I’m ugly

I got a feeling family think I’ve come into some money

So I’ve got a feeling I’ve got new cousins coming to find me

I got a feeling I’m bout to find out how precious time be

I find out everything about time and loyalty from a cosign

And I got a feeling y’all don’t know where my mind is

Got a feeling there’ll be less questions about how I been

Got a feeling change is comin' in climate and I don’t mean rain

Or somethin' holdin' myself up to a promise

Lookin' at reflection tellin' «myself don’t lose you

Don’t move too quick, be cautious what you walking' into

Be ready all times, the levee might break

Chevy’s 'll shake when they hear the shit that I gotta say»

Uh, stakes is high, my folks is poor

My people proud, they live through me

I love 'em when it’s said and done I gotta expose my peeps

Cause it’s real
