So Easily

So Easily

An empire is rising fast, built it brick by brick

now they want a piece when the whole thing lit

I was out here grinding, they were sleep on the kid

now they act like family but I peep what it is

they smile for the camera, switch when the lights off

same ones who doubted now they want to ride soft

I don’t do handouts, don’t do the small talk

if you wasn’t with me then you lost in the dark

I been through the struggle, turned pain into power

every scar on my skin made me build up the tower

they fold under pressure like paper in rain

I weather the storm, stay solid through change

they chase the attention, I chase the progression

they stuck in the cycle, I’m breaking the tension

I move with intention, no room for the fake

if you can’t keep it real then stay out my way
