Somebody dropped a j**el on me one time and I kind of forgot about it until I was going through something. He said it's a good feeling to get what you want but only a stupid fool hates to turn from evil. He said wise friends make you wise but you hurt yourself by going around with fools At 23, had a business had friendships had a company Glad to be on my own living lovely If you needed anything it was on me Souped(?) cars deep going on shopping sprees And every week I bought the get highs and blew a g' Met a thug fell in love weekends in A.C Yo, when friends fell out with moms they stayed with me If I ever needed, they said they'd do the same for me Cause when friends is like your fam that's how it's supposed to be Would've died for the large(?) ones close to me You won't have to learn what I learned hopefully It's quite plain that Hook Nobody owes yah, nobody calls yah Nobody knows you when you out the game (x3) Trouble with the label trouble with the business Led to trouble with money and trouble with friendships From ocean views to ghetto blues can't believe I played the fool I should've cherished my j**els Never knew my own peoples would turn so cruel Except for a few the rest was like it's on you Thought about school but I had dreams to fulfill To many visions of doing the shows and seeing my name on the bill Life got ill wise statistics gave me the chills Found 9 out of 10 phony, that told me they was real So I vowed, the next time I get on and get a deal To lay stronger foundations and just build build build Keep my head to the sky, and see God in pain And never will I trust in chariots and horses again Should've focused on my future but the moment was the aim So whatever people did only me could I blame Hook Nobody owes yah, nobody calls yah Nobody knows you when you out the game (x3) Working on the low like a private dancer But I know now that prayers get answered Back on my feet it feels heavenly Old faces looking like how can it be? Remember me I'm the one you counted out the one you did doubt The one you borrowed from then got sent about The one you rejected the one you neglected Is the same one now like reborn and resurrected The one you denied now can't look in the eye Cause I'm the one you spit on when I fell by the wayside I'm the one you left bleeding the one you left grieving But true soldiers go to war in any season I suffered not in vain now prepare for the reign Knowing it takes more than fortune and fame to truly maintain But no matter how it change one thing remains the same That nobody owes you when you out the game Hook Nobody owes yah, nobody calls yah Nobody knows you when you out the game (x3)
