[Intro – Spoken] Yeah... It's crazy how the closest ones can hurt you the most. Day one... Thought we was built different. Guess I was wrong. [Hook – Melodic Rap / R&B Vocals] You were my day one, my brother, my right hand Never thought I'd see you switch up on the game plan We had dreams of getting rich, putting on the whole fam Now I'm looking at you like, "Who the hell are you, man?" We used to ride together, we used to grind together Talk about the future, said we'd shine forever Now the trust is gone, and the bond is severed You were my day one, but you changed up on me [Ad-libs:] Damn... I never thought it'd be like this. [Verse 1 – Rapper] Checkmate, whole operation under investigation Federal agents at the door, no time for explanations Somebody gave the blueprint, somebody leaked the code Funny how the ones you trust be the ones who fold We was splitting every dollar, had the same ambition Now I'm sitting with my lawyer, fighting allegations I told you keep it solid, keep the circle tight Now the whole situation got me up all night Hope you put some money up, hope you got a plan 'Cause when the lawyers start talking, you gon' understand That the chains and the watches don't mean a damn thing When you're facing real time and your phone don't ring You was supposed to be my brother, not a liability Now I gotta question everything you ever told to me [Hook – Melodic Rap / R&B Vocals] You were my day one, my brother, my right hand Never thought I'd see you switch up on the game plan We had dreams of getting rich, putting on the whole fam Now I'm looking at you like, "Who the hell are you, man?" We used to ride together, we used to grind together Talk about the future, said we'd shine forever Now the trust is gone, and the bond is severed You were my day one, but you changed up on me [Verse 2 – Rapper] Yo, I remember when we couldn't pay the rent Sleeping on the floor, every dollar getting spent Now the money coming in, everybody want a piece But the same ones at the table trying to bring you to your knees I was locked down, you was supposed to hold it down Instead, you treated my accounts like they were yours to count Came home, saw the numbers, something wasn't right All the loyalty you preached disappeared overnight You had my name on your arm, said we'd never fold But a tattoo ain't a promise when the pressure gets cold I gave you every chance, tried to keep it in the fam Now I'm cutting off the ties, doing what I gotta, man It's a cold world when your brother turns a stranger When the ones you trusted most become your biggest danger I ain't worried about the money that you took from me It's the years I gave you that you took for free [Hook – Melodic Rap / R&B Vocals] You were my day one, my brother, my right hand Never thought I'd see you switch up on the game plan We had dreams of getting rich, putting on the whole fam Now I'm looking at you like, "Who the hell are you, man?" We used to ride together, we used to grind together Talk about the future, said we'd shine forever Now the trust is gone, and the bond is severed You were my day one, but you changed up on me [Verse 3 – Rapper] Let me tell you something 'bout the code we used to live by Everybody talk loyalty until it's time to live by Your actions, your decisions, and the choices that you make Can destroy a whole legacy with one mistake You can have the biggest house, the diamonds, and the cars But you can't buy respect when you show them who you are I seen real ones lose everything they ever had Seen a family fall apart behind a dollar and a bag And the ones who stayed solid, I remember every name Even when the lights went out, they never switched their lane So I move a little different, keep my circle small 'Cause the ones who claim they're brothers ain't your brothers after all [Bridge – Melodic Vocals] How could you let it go? After everything we built I gave you all my trust You repaid me with this guilt I thought we'd last forever Thought we'd never fall apart But the hardest thing to lose Is a brother and a heart [Final Hook – Melodic Rap / R&B Vocals] You were my day one, my brother, my right hand Never thought I'd see you switch up on the game plan We had dreams of getting rich, putting on the whole fam Now I'm looking at you like, "Who the hell are you, man?" We used to ride together, we used to grind together Talk about the future, said we'd shine forever Now the trust is gone, and the bond is severed You were my day one, but you changed up on me [Outro – Spoken] Yeah... Some people are in your life for a reason. Some people are there for a season. And some people show you exactly who they are When everything is on the line. Day one... Never thought it'd end like this.
