Went backwards took a few L's
Did the work came up short
People trying to change the rules
Can't waste anymore time
Getting older trying to hang
Stay modern while everything fades away
It was your times it's changing
Constant changes hard to keep up
Things that made sense hold no value
No value is given more credit
Old rules are replaced with new
One best friend not many loss loyalty
Cheating is accepted the new norm
While right is overlooked excluded
Left in the void standing against wrong
Perks of a relationship no commitment
Lust is the new love broken trust
Honesty is rejected for ongoing lies

Always trying my to blend in
But end up standing out
Trying to be mindful keep the peace
The silence causes a mouthful
Coming up with new material
Over the internal struggle within
Focused on bettering the situation
Improve with personal growth
A new perspective on life
Stopped feeling into the bad
Focused on what's right
Not wasting time anymore
Taking on the hurt as punishment
Learn the lesson grow into better
Over lowering myself to be accepted
Good vibes on the rise big brown eyes
Focused on doing more making it happen

I respect your title wheres the worth ethic
Don't knock my hard work
You have a title it means nothing
Since you have no respect for the team
Blame last minute communication
Don't bring me down meant for more
Fighting for mine quick to square up
Squash this beef Don't care for drama
Since you chose to settle Gave up
Did the work quick to cut off liars
Turned my back betrayals not welcomed
Not looking ahead living in the moment
Spoke up got ignored its crumbling down
Now smiling in silence rising up

A lead playing a side kick
Behind the scenes hustling
While credit is being stolen
A villain in their story
The hero trying to survive
Do what's right stand tall
A moral code as a shield
Works hard in silence
Loud once the victory is achieved
Thriving on a new level
Striving to become a better
Not settling for average
From nothing to something
Much more than before

He enjoyed work made the most of it
Conversations with older individuals
Wisdom gained from every encounter
Fun stories shared don't fit in anymore
Everything changed got worse lost value
The people who made it work are gone
Now the lazy try to undo all the good
The high standards are now lowered
Trying to keep the rich history preserved
While the bad leads try to erase history

Always helping others
Time to help yourself
Ignored trying to be supportive
Once you do your thing
All of a sudden everyone needs you
Learning to say no
The sacrifice didn't have benefits
Feeling used and ******* over
Treated bad so much expectation
Turned to stone showing no emotions
Going numb with all the disrespect
False promise trying to rise up
Being knocked down sent backwards

Made out to be the bad guy
Why are they mad
Because no don't care
Trying to slander his name
Belittle his character
Hell never talk about them
They are not a thought
Never going to be a priority
For their devious acts
Not tolerating deceitful behavior
He doesn't care to be right or liked
The truth will conquer misleading lies
