Take These Jewels

Everybody who shake your hand

Ain't your man

Its real, if you sleep you better wake up man

Don't be a fool, learn the rules

Put your faith in your hands

Or be stunned when you see your son

Hanging your ass

I mean you thought that nigga was real

He intended to squeal day one

DA's said he's willing to deal

Never let your friends know

How your pistol blow

How you get your dough

About the crib on the low

The code of silence expired long ago

Even in Queensbridge, you'll be surprised who's informing yo

Once the shit hit the fan, the horns will blow

The DA is the conductor for the chorus yo

The symphony ain't complete till the curtains close

And you upstate thinking you deserve parole

Now you vexed cause your man won't accept your calls

I speak valuable lessons so check this yo

Keep your friends close, enemies closer

Never sleep on any beef, or get worked to a smoke

Loyalties worth more wealth, in world where people be all for self

I got friends who never call me till they want help

Then expect me to show love, I don't receive from them

It hurts me, cause I will bleed for them

Yet is it worth me risking, being free for them?

I got a lot more to lose in thought

A lot more secluded

Yours a lot more polluted

What should I do man?

Women, flocking my digits like the Blue Van

My boy Blue passed, it seems he was one of my true mans

Dudes smile in my face with there conspiring ways

Betrayal put Christ in the grave

Niggas, unrighteous ways

You up, they want to stop you

Down, they talk about you

Even your friends will rob you

You think I'm lying?

Ask Rich Porter mom duke

Shit is real

Gimmie a bit a favour, of a friend who won't snake you

Coke that don't lose grams, and I'm cool man

I was quarterback in the pack, despite D from the Blue Van

Just me and a few mans, setting screens, reppin Queens

Whoever thought that this will be Cory's destiny?

Keep your friends close, enemies closer

Never sleep on any beef, or get worked to a smoke
