Bittersweet

Got love for everyone in the business

But everyone in my business

Tell me, how should I talk when everyone is a witness?

And every slur out your mouth can turn into someone's sentence

That turn into somethin' later, that turn into somethin' vicious

And vicious niggas is after yo' time, turnin' yo' switches

Your friends swervin' yo' bitches and then burnin' your bridges

You stuck and severed in thoughts of when it's all gonna end

When the ending's harder than thoughts

Or when it starts, it begins

Nobody wins when the family feud

Or when the family news turns into somethin' that no one from the family choose

Or when you plan to choose it, it's a dub for the feat

When they play they move

When the plans change and you plan to expand, pannin' the views

And these R&B singer women you called, all your friends choose

Kehlani hops on the news like it was somethin' to prove

Like me and her wasn't cool when I been friends with you for six years

Plus, plus the crew and we can Google picture proof

Got my phone number too, you coulda called me

But you movin' like we ain't even crew, and you'd not rather hear my views?

We used to phone talk late about exes and all our pools

I held your newborn in my arms, tell me how we aren't cool

Instead, you went to Twitter Shade Room to focus on your views

You was the quickest one to take me off records and set the mood

And now you got these little garbage artists talkin' like they takin' me off somethin'

That's gon' harm me, your label paid me already, dude

But KK, back to you, let me tell you who's

How to move, this is what you do

If you wanna take that stance, then that's cool

But we gon' do this with some rules

Ayy, JoJo, I need you to take notes too

Don't take me off the deluxe album that no one gives a fuck about

Take me off the original too

'Cause when I'm scrollin' through this Spotify playlist

See me my name both in y'all top five pages

It just feels a little unsincere, hmm?

Or maybe I refuse, am I trippin' and confused?

Y'all could have took me off the album but have still have yet to do?

Ayy, nah, maybe it's the truth

Got the numbers and the proof

'Cause with both of y'all combined, I gave y'all forty million views

Y'all can't lose

What do you do when your friends lookin' at you sideways?

I can't even tell 'em what happened because of my case

You can't even trust in nobody 'cause they might try face

All the G's tellin' you, OG, this isn't my day

Y'all can dub and hurt me but I'm fueled by a God

Tender love and mercy, devil tryna work me

But I pop up in the scene, chocolate car, color Hershey

It's some niggas that I lent money to that never imbursed me

I had many visions of this time, made decisions for the prime

Future thinkin' how I'm speakin' on the past like, "What a time"

Once upon a time, was just a kid that loved to rhyme

And now the fame is bittersweet, I take the cake that come with mine, Tory

Is it worth it?

When everything that's bittersweet isn't perfect

Lookin' beyond the surface

And I can see the greatest go away

I never meant to break your heart

(I never meant to break your heart, no)

I never meant to break your heart, no

Look

I know I'm swingin' with the excalibur sword, calibers in the draw

Copped me a brand new Cullinan, calendars lookin' for him

My balance fully attended, two talents full on the floor

My palace is full of awards, my shower is like the Falls

I'm serious

And my aim is never beef with my peers

When niggas careers like the game with the seat with the chairs

When the music goes off and you left sittin', seein' who's there

Yeah, niggas don't even compare

It hurt to say them words 'bout Roc Nation management

'Cause Jigga whole career, I've been a fan of it

And I'm just pissed 'bout how these niggas handled it

I worked for this for years

And outta nowhere, here comes Jill tryna come smear campaign and damage it

Like she hit me with the "Oh, well"

But I know this so well

I'm colder than a polar bear's toenail in my hotel

Got thick strippers gettin' motorboated in a motel

Made videos and TMZ'll paid me just to go sell

I don't like to do this, y'all just act like I ain't human

Been two months and seein' me on memes and I ain't suppose to do shit?

Oh, I get it, y'all think I'm stupid

I'm supposed to lose to these lies

Tellin' rumor and sellin' niggas that feudin'

And talkin' to GOAT, never with they chest but all with they throat

It's like you can only trust these niggas as far as you throw

As far as it goes, the check, cards in the wallet

Console still got these bitches tryna swallow me whole

You know me

Shawty said I can't be canceled 'cause I'm far too handsome

I hopped up out that yellow Lamb', her man start a tantrum

The bands fallin' over me just like a starvin' dancer

But take that up with the man who decide to harness answers

I know God got me, I know God got me

The car frame in two lanes, it's a wide body

She'd rather fuck me in her brain but try to side eye me

Them Flower City niggas with me, homie, why try me?

Crack the seal on the weed, still on the speed

Watch critics create meme with zero chill on my feed

They never expected me to react actually

But fuck it, that's that nigga, I'm back to bein' me

But I wonder if we'll talk again

Wonder if we'll run up on Runyon Canyon at 9 o'clock at night and take that walk again

Even if you don't, I still consider you my friend

And the greater that it came, is still the bigger that it is

In my darkest days, sittin' at the pillar countin' scrilla

Chinchilla jacket like Tony at the villa

Not only am I richer than these fuck ass rap niggas, I'm realer

And I'm down to put that work in until you fill 'em

Shotta had many visions of this time, made decisions for the prime

Future thinkin' how I'm speakin' on the past like, "What a time"

Once upon a time, was just a kid that loved to rhyme

Now the fame is bittersweet, I take the cake that come with mine, Tory

Is it worth it?

When everything that's bittersweet isn't perfect

Lookin' beyond the surface

And I can see the greatest flow away

I never meant to break your heart

(I never meant to break your heart, no)

I never meant to break your heart, no

Yo, why yuh come disrespect up mon?

Oonuh caan jus' dance?
