[Chorus]
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you lust over his things, you might lose your only chance
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
[Verse 1]
Jealousy and envy like to hide amongst our friends
And if we look inside the mirror, we got some of it within
Niggas hating on each other, see each other and pretend
Which we drowned in holy water, all our insides need a cleanse
Inshallah, mashallah to my brethren
Fighting through this hell, know there gotta be a Heaven
Need to face all my emotions, I been runnin' and repressin'
You could bury what you killed but you can't murder your depression
I still survive, sometimes when breathin' I still don't feel alive
Jealous eyes watching the moon, then sun forgets to shine
See the sign, you keeping your focus on other niggas' grinds
Hypnotized by glitter and gold, and other niggas' lies
We watching one another like a show on prime time
You can't learn to play your role from learnin' other niggas lines
You can't learn to win the game if you been cheerin' from the side
You can't make it to the front if you just follow from behind
[Chorus]
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you dream about his world, you could watch your life pass
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
If you dream about his world, you could watch your life pass
Focusing on what you don't got forgetting what you have
[Verse 2]
I need to find inspiration, if I want it, I could get it
Don't believe inside myself, I'm insecure, I need to face it
I be seeing niggas flexing and I feel like I ain't make it
Need to focus on my wins and never focus on my failing
But it's hard when the social media defines your presence
Watching niggas throwing cash, it make you feel like you a pheasant
Lookin' at other people gettin' stuck inside their blessings
And we can't walk away, it's like the longest jail sentence
I'ma break free, the internet is make-believe
(It make you wanna kill your dreams)
I'ma break free, the internet is make-believe
Killing people's self esteem, it make you wanna kill your dreams
Niggas be showing off their lives, but it's never what it seems
Posting shit to get reactions and we hope that we get seen
I be scared to post a picture if the likes don't get received
And if niggas don't react, then I'm deleting everything
[Chorus]
I was taught "You should never become jealous of a man"
If you wanted what he had, then you should figure out a plan
