Cold Hearted

People ask how my heart can be so cold..
 
Cause you begin to realize shit as you get old...
 
Not everyone wants to see you succeed..
 
They rather see you down and out and watch your heart bleed...
 
Funny how they only be around when it's something they need..
 
But when roles become reversed they disappear like a missing person..
 
So ask yourself who is the only one hurtin..
 
Not everyone has your best interest at heart..
 
That may be how they portray it to start..
 
But as you begin to elevate and they stay the same, people switch their position...
 
So when your back is turned start to listen..
 
Cause they tell you all the shit you wanna hear to your face...
 
But once your back is turned their words change pace..
 
They are off to the races..
 
Spilling your business to other peoples faces..
 
Too many people in your circle...
 
Will only hurt you...
 
Can never pinpoint who leaked your business...
 
A bunch of them will claim witness..
 
But they could be the culprit, and just feed you lies..
 
Trying to take the heat off them and spitting bullshit staring you dead in your eyes..
 
If you cannot name everyone in your circle without thinking..
 
It may be a sign to have your circle start shrinking..
 
So it's not that I'm cold hearted, I just don't trust people..
 
I don't see them as equal..
 
To me if we are not day ones, everyone has a motive that is ulterior...
 
I don't trust people based on their exterior..
 
Yeah so I am judging the book by its cover...
 
My family member list is full, we do not need another...
