Yeah… Funny how that work, huh? Everybody got a seat when it’s time to eat… But when it’s time to split the bill… Yeah. You said you was my friend, you was never really slidin’ Funny how you knew the route whenever I was drivin’ Had a couple people with me, thought the love was unconditional Till I needed something from ’em, now the love was conditional I ain’t even mad, I just had to read between it You was always in the picture, never there when I needed Had a front-row seat to everything I was achieving But the minute things went left, you had a reason for leaving Damn… I guess that’s how it go Everybody say they solid till it’s time to really show You was talkin’ ‘bout the trenches from the comfort of your home Had my number all these years, couldn’t call when I was low And that’s crazy… ‘Cause I would’ve picked up for youuu… See, that’s the difference, I ain’t gotta make a scene You was playing both sides, I was playing for the team Funny how you wanted credit for the things you never did You was living off the friendship, I was paying what it is You ain’t have to cross me, could’ve told me where you stood I was giving you the benefit, you was taking all the good Now you tell ’em that I changed, I just changed who got the keys You can say you had my back, but you was standing behind me That’s a difference. You wasn’t really there for meee… You just liked what I could do for you And I was too blind to seeee… All the things that I was putting up with you I don’t need apologies Just don’t rewrite the history You said you was my friend, but you was never really slidin’ Said you had my back, but you was never really behind me Said you was my girl, but you was never really ridin’ Had you in the passenger, you was never on my side then Ohhh, you was never on my si-i-ide… And I ain’t even tryna argue about it Nooo, I ain’t tryna argue about it You said you was my girl, you was never really ridin’ Had you in my future, you was living for the timing Told me that you loved me, had me thinking we was building Whole time I was making plans, you was making other arrangements I was tryna make a home, you was keeping your options open I was talking ‘bout forever, you was careful with your wording You ain’t have to say you leaving, I could tell by how you held me Used to ask me how my day was, now you barely even tell me What’s on your mind… And I ain’t stupid, I just gave you room to prove it Funny how you needed space, but had somebody else to move in I was tryna clear the air, you was clearing out your conscience Told me nothing ever happened, that’s a very specific promise Look… I ain’t saying I was perfect, I got things I could’ve handled But you kept a couple flames and let me think I held the candle Had me thinking I was chosen, I was really just convenient You was calling me your peace while you was taking mine in pieces And I let it go on for too loooong… Had your name beside a heart, should’ve put it by a question Every time I brought it up, you would turn it to confession Made me apologize for noticing the distance That’s a hell of a way to turn intuition into guilt trips You was good at changing subjects, I was good at making excuses Now you telling all your friends that I was distant and confusing I ain’t tryna clear my name, let ’em think whatever suits ’em You can keep the version of me that you needed for your story I know who I was. You wasn’t really there for meee… You just liked what I could do for you And I was too blind to seeee… All the things that I was putting up with you That’s on me, though… You said you was my friend, but you was never really slidin’ Said you had my back, but you was never really behind me Said you was my girl, but you was never really ridin’ Had you in the passenger, you was never on my side then Ohhh, you was never on my si-i-ide… And I ain’t even tryna argue about it Nooo, I ain’t tryna argue about it I don’t hold grudges, I just hold people to what they told me You was saying we was brothers, that’s a title, not a trophy You was always down to celebrate, but never down to struggle Guess you only knew the handshake, never understood the hustle And as for you… I ain’t got much left to say You was asking for my trust while giving yours to somebody else I was looking for a partner, you was looking for yourself Had me putting you on pedestals you couldn’t reach yourself Funny how the ones you love can teach you things you never wanted I was buying into promises, you was selling me a concept Now I’m sitting with the lessons, ain’t no need to make a comment I don’t need to get even, I got even with my conscience See… That’s growth, I suppose Had to lose a couple people just to see who wasn’t close Used to think that being loyal meant you never let ’em go Now I know you can love somebody better from the road From the roooooad… And that’s the part that gets me… I ain’t ask nobody to be perfect. Just be who you said you was. You was never really slidin’… You was never really ridin’… But you was always there for the good part. I guess everybody got their own definition of loyalty. I was there for youuu… Was you there for meee?
