Loved Ones

Intro: Royce da 5'9"

As time goes by, a eye for an eye

We in this together, *******, your beef is mine

So long as the sun************ne should light up the sky

We in this together, *******, your beef is mine

Verse 1: Royce da 5'9"

Man, I just saw that ******* out the other day

That's me talking to my loved ones

I wouldn't have this ************t no other way

That's me sparking for my loved ones

As the plot thickens,

either get rolled on or rock with it

Make a decision, *******, the clock's ticking

Feeling chauvinistic,

rolling with the coldest ************

And the whip's equipped with gold ignitions

It has just been bought to my attention

That the mistress finally went and told the missus

Aw, ************t, Vi************s, hold this liquor

I got to take this phone call from my shawty tripping

Verse 2: Rapsody

Uh, I'm dipping out, keep the car and the house

I get my own ************t, ************t, I kept a separate account

I know the rules in the street or the house

And what I learnt, it ain't an equal amount

I see them *******s you 'round

And the loyalty,

you'd go to war to hold 'em all down

Tell 'em your word is your bond,

but you lie to me, how?

You respect them *******s

way more than me by a mile

I had your child, ************t, babe,

I can't figure it out

You cheat on me, it's respected,

cheat on them, it's foul

Somehow, the codes that

you live by ain't balancing out

Cross the line, mother******,

I'ma line it with vowels

I owe you nothing, ******* your vows

I was your down-ass chick, you let me down

Said your word and your ******* is alls you had

I learnt your your word

and your ******* wasn't always 'round

************t, I know *******s in the bin you still loyal to

Never snitch, you don't sing,

you a lawyer dude

But pillow talk and sing to ************,

is that loyal, too?

Tryna figure out when it becomes,

"Aw, ******* the rules"

'Cause you a real *******

and that's what real *******s do, love none

Verse 3: Royce da 5'9" & Rapsody

Money over ************ and hoes how this ************t goes

Even though she giving a ******* head out of his globe

Keeping me fed was something

more than just bottles of rose

But when you out in the cold,

you gotta follow the code

I'm a rider fa sho, got my side chick in those

Apartments that's downtown

with the thousand-dollar deco'

I'm wilding out for the dough, though, make sure

That you never let me out, always keep me in

I get geeked when we be deep,

I feel awkward when we be thin

Made of these ingredients,

real ******* and loyalty

My three downfalls is get killed,

snitching, and lawyer fees

Tripping over quarter-kis

Even if ************t come up missing,

I flip for my 40 thieves

Death before dishonor,

just lock me in jail and throw the keys

'Fore I step to your baby momma, c'mon, bro, it's me

We just rolling, clutching 9s

Even though it's rumors you been ******* mines

I don't believe 'em, no, I just be tuning 'em out

Out of my mind and out my vehicle

Just give me some drink and some ************ to blow

No, I ain't naive, though

We cold, uh, my *******, we close

My wife friend got a big old ass

She come around me, I put her in the fish bowl fast

I be staring at her like she a science project

Thinking to myself like,

"Goddam, why I ain't got that?"

But I'm just busy getting money,

running through these ************ with my loved ones

Killing all these *******s

with the quickness for my loved ones

Getting it with my loved ones,

splitting it with my loved ones

Hey, money over ************,

never switch and never love none

Getting money, running through

these ************ with my loved ones

Killing all these *******s

with the quickness for my loved ones

Getting it with my loved ones,

splitting it with my loved ones

******* with these hoes

even though we never love none
