I know people, the kind that will build your hopes up from the ground up through floors to the highest level.
Only to step back and watch those hopes fall from the highest level through floors till they hit the ground and shatter.
Yeah! I know people.
I know people who will smile wide showcasing all their 32
Grin from ear to ear, give you a standing ovation even.
Chanting your name, singing your praise only to stab you when you’re not looking.
Yeah! I know people.
I know people, the worst of their kind who will taint your image.
Make others think you are no saint.
All out of envy. But really there’s nothing to envy.
They see you try, pushing, doing your best but they can’t stand it.
Yeah! I know people.
I know people, the ride or dies.
The homeboys and the homegirls.
The we are in this together.
Surely hard to find.
Your squad goals.
But they are there, for every high and low.
Yeah I know people.
