**[Intro]** There’s the saying. You can’t help others till you help yourself. If your house of cards ain’t stable, how you plan to build theirs? Let’s have the conversation of what you said. **[Verse 1]** You can’t help others till you help your damn self That’s the line you skip when you start handing help House of cards leanin’, tape and cheap glue How you plan to build theirs when yours already through? You think shit don’t stink unless it’s somebody else’s Yours pile up quiet while you point at the rest of us Stand tall when all you do is sit Trying to portray a man — just a little keyboard warrior, that’s it Chair got your name carved, screen got your face Never left the room and still talk like you run the place **[Hook]** Help yourself first, the rest is a lie House of cards talkin’ like it touch the sky Sit-down king, welfare high Allergic to fresh air, fake pics get you by Keyboard warrior, stand tall while you sit Shit don’t stink till it’s somebody else’s, admit **[Verse 2]** Fine then — let’s run what you said with no filter How you feel like a king as a welfare recipient Throne made of stamps and a glow in the dark Talk empire language from a government mark How you like being in the screen but think you’re a physical monster? Comments stay heavy, body stay softer Allergic to fresh air, windows stay shut Sun hit the porch and you treat it like what? Batten to men who con you with fake boobs pics Buy the illusion, then call it a hit They send the angle, you send the belief Whole personality rented, nothing underneath **[Hook]** Help yourself first, the rest is a lie House of cards talkin’ like it touch the sky Sit-down king, welfare high Allergic to fresh air, fake pics get you by Keyboard warrior, stand tall while you sit Shit don’t stink till it’s somebody else’s, admit **[Verse 3]** You stand tall when all you do is sit Portray a man — little keyboard warrior, that’s the bit Never stepped on the scene, still narrate the war Type like a soldier, live like a chore House of cards ain’t stable, still selling the plan How you gon’ build theirs with a shake in your hand? You think shit don’t stink unless it’s somebody else’s yard Yours got a smell you just learned to disregard Feel like a king as a welfare recipient Crown on the app, check in the mail, that’s the evidence Like e in the screen, think you a physical monster Till the air hit your lungs and the whole act saunter **[Bridge]** Conversation you asked for — here it go raw No poetry polish, no hiding the flaw Can’t help others till you help yourself That’s not a quote, that’s a mirror on the shelf If the house ain’t stable, don’t draft their design Don’t preach from a chair and call the sitting a grind Fake boobs, fake boost, fake chest, fake proof You fell for the con and still talk like the truth **[Verse 4]** Let’s have the conversation of what you have said Every line you threw, I’m throwing it back at your head You can’t help others till you help yourself — start there House of cards ain’t stable — don’t build in the air Shit don’t stink unless it’s somebody else’s — that’s pride Stand tall when all you do is sit — that’s a lie Portray a man, little keyboard warrior — that’s the role King as a welfare recipient — that’s the soul Like e in the screen, physical monster — that’s the split Allergic to fresh air — that’s the habit you sit Batten to men with the fake boobs pics — that’s the con You bought the picture and called it a bond **[Final Hook]** Help yourself first, the rest is a lie House of cards talkin’ like it touch the sky Sit-down king, welfare high Allergic to fresh air, fake pics get you by Keyboard warrior, stand tall while you sit Shit don’t stink till it’s somebody else’s Now live with it.
