[Intro: Spoken – cold and calm] You say you solid. But I seen you fold just from silence. So let's be honest, ngga... Loyalty? That cost. And you couldn’t afford it. [Verse 1] I never needed no voucher, no big homie stamp My credit come from scars welfare and food stamps I move like a myth but I talk like a prophet Kept it ten toes while you bent for the optics They confuse loud for power — I move in still mode With a smirk like, “Yeah, that was me, but you'll never know” Keep receipts in the attic, got a ledger for pain Ngga smile like a saint, but he built off strain This is grown man flex, not that TikTok post You out here beggin’ for likes — I got rich off ghosts I put blood in the dirt just to watch what grow You put dirt on my name, but I still rose slow Never brag on war I ain’t finish myself They be yelling "real ngga," but they mimic for help You want power, not presence — and there’s a big-ass difference I turn conflict into profit, you just thirst for mentions [Hook: Chant-style, stripped-down with echoes] Loyalty ain’t free — you pay with your chest Ngga talk tough, but he fail that test I don't move loud, but I stand in smoke Try to play me once, and your lifeline broke Loyalty ain’t free — that bond take blood Not a handshake, not a post, not a hug I don’t want love if it flinch under pressure Don’t say “real” if you fold for acceptance [Verse 2] They be askin’ what I owe the game — not a mf thing I bled for this throne, gave the culture my veins You got followers, filters, all that flash But a weak foundation built to collapse I done broke bread with traitors Hugged dudes who set traps Taught nggas how to hustle — they came back with raps And still I never switched, never begged for seats Just pulled my own chair up and made nggas eat You ever build somethin’ real, and they lie on your name? Smear your rep, then smile like nothin changed? I been through it, ngga — I still don’t vent That pain get cooked into bars, now it pay my rent I’m the proof that revenge don’t need no noise I let karma work while I polish these toys Too slick to be touched, too calm to be questioned I'm the whisper in your pride when you re-learn lessons [Bridge: Spoken, cinematic strings underneath] See... Loyalty ain’t about bein’ seen. It’s about who show up when the cameras off, when the money low, and when the rumors loud. You nggas too loud to be real. [Hook: Repeat with full force + layered vocals] Loyalty ain’t free — you pay with your chest Ngga talk tough, but he fail that test I don't move loud, but I stand in smoke Try to play me once, and your lifeline broke Loyalty ain’t free — that bond take blood Not a handshake, not a post, not a hug I don’t want love if it flinch under pressure Don’t say “real” if you fold for acceptance [Outro: Spoken] I don’t need your loyalty. Keep that. I just needed you to know — That I knew you ain’t have it.
