Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Payback what it is about
I had your back and you sold me out
Loyal....till the end
Until you thought you could ascend
I want to strike swift but I should wait
Because my mind's ate up with hate
Hatred it clouds the mind
Think it out and bide my time
Take it like a man take it like a ***
You a rat you a *** snitch
Plea bargain and you can barter
But what goes around comes around harder
Big man want to be the boss
But you got caught up couldn't pay the cost
Now look back on all you lost
Because you went and double crossed
Pay back what it is about
I had your back and you sold me out
Talked loud but that's just jokes
You strung out on weed and coke
Last to show up first to run
I get first crack at this ***
Give me the pipe I'm a break his knee
And the string him up in the tree
