Reptile by REMI Lyrics
[Chorus: Silentjay]
I gotta let you go, let's go, let's go
You know I
Yeah, get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, heh
[Verse 1: Remi Kolawole]
If you don't love yourself, you're a target
'Cause your head is out of shape like Hey Arnold
And you can't find the iron to make karma
People gonna see that you're weak, take advantage
Anybody can get it 'cause everybody after money, money, money
And everybody got a mask on
See it in my aunt, my pa, my brah, my partner
My manager's ending that faster, hard to believe
When you're blind by fate, it gets harder to read
Who's fake? Who's snake? Who's part of the team?
Two-faced, two face, yeah, I'm startin' to see
On the scene with the eyes on my dollar and dream and
Hurts that my brothers aren't part of the scheme
They lean like cough syrup on their per diem
Just sit home, rip cones, imitating a leech
Gave away thousand, gave my mates housin'
Made them my bed, stayed on stained couches
They'll repay me by breakin' these boundaries
What they say 'bout me, thinkin' I've found it
Cowards that I stayed down
Regardless how far your math, I gave power
And I gave counsel that I should've given to me
Watch out, 'cause the snake closer than you think, ya hear
[Chorus: Silentjay]
No, not today, not today, not today
You know I ain't always the guest that gives out
Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah
Ain't always the guest that gives out
I gotta let you go, let's go, let's go
You know I ain't always the guest that gives out
Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah
Ain't always the guest that gives out
[Post-Chorus: Remi Kolawole]
Please beware of the reptile
You don't know where they're hiding
Please beware of the reptile
If you're not careful, they're hidden beside ya
[Verse 2: Remi Kolawole]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, look
You were my closest, we've been bros since
Nintendo 6-4, Banjo-Kazooie
You knew me in dark, dark clothing
Discman holding Usher or Hovi
Gave me my first ciggie, I smoked it
Weed, you rolled it, me, I toked it
And every time they told me I'm hopeless
You would say, "Focus, dust your shoulders off
'Cause you got a whole lot to do
Don't stop until they all flock to you
It's for us, by us, like we rock FUBU
So if they take shots 'cause they lost, boo-hoo
But then we separated and they got to you (Ooh, ooh)
Brainwashed in the bong water
Lost your best mate to court dates, cops' order
Made some new friends, went wild and got caught up
In the bullshit, too blind to watch all the shit we built
Go downhill like a Longbottom
But I love you, it's why I wrote this intervention
But the snake in the mirror livin' in my reflection
[Chorus: Silentjay]
No, not today, not today, not today
You know I ain't always the guest that gives out
Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah
Ain't always the guest that gives out
I gotta let you go, let's go, let's go
You know I ain't always the guest that gives out
Get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, yeah
Ain't always the guest that gives out
[Post-Chorus: Remi Kolawole]
Please beware of the reptile
You don't know where they're hiding
Please beware of the reptile
If you're not careful, they're hidden beside ya
[Outro: Silentjay]
I only want
To be there
In this life
I gotta let you go, let's go, let's go
You know I
Yeah, get the fuck, get the fuck up out of my way, heh
