When I was up

[Verse 1: Menelik] When you up you can look around and see they faces Bandwagon full of love while you winning the races Caught up in the moment flashin lights get blinding While ya movin up the ladder cause love yo rhyming Or ya stats on hail mary's caught But maybe its the average on the threes you dropped Either way above the rest so they tagging along Ridin ya coat tail hoping you a put them onnn Get a little revenue they got you covering tabs From a dollar store trip to a sacks fifth ave Since they knew as juvenile banging the set A portion of yo success is what they grew to expect Like, they the ones responsible for goals you accomplished Like yo funds supposed to put they kids through college They got one thang in common thats what they all fear Yo money maker disabling bet they all disappear I bet [Verse 2: Menelik] And when you need em they ain't never around Hand swipe hittin air cause the help is no where to be found Don't act foolish and get left in the cold See the bond between ya two is but a few years old Came around bout the same time you came up So when you fall its in they nature for a quick change up Stay focused keep sharp eyes for users If at all goes south they gone be yo accusers But those who was round while you was ballin wit nothing Genuine as can be thats the end of discussion They was always down hang when it was nowhere to go Hit the mall and window shop when it was no dough to blow But, thats real love so don't ever depart The ones that want you for the fame on the hunt like sharks Now do ya best to part from the fake and the phony Long distance on the road the mission get lonely
