12omo - Didn't Work Out Lyrics

Had some friends that I used to be close with
But to be honest that didn't work out
Had a few girls that I thought the world of
But to be honest that didn't work out
Made some choices I thought were the right ones
But to be honest that didn't work out
Had a few plans to get that dough
But to be honest that didn't work out

Mmm mmm that's a damn shame
Scrolling, see another go fund me campaign
Phoning
Phones ringing, ha well trying to
Who am I lying to
Phone live on do not disturb
I'm not accessible
I'm just protecting my peace
Is that acceptable
Wanna stand the test of time
I'm a collectible
You just wanna eat in to my time
You are not eligible
Neither is it edible
If it's disrespect they don't forget call em ele's
If a young bull see red I hope you ready
We don't say too much
'Cause they watching like telly
If my nigga pat his stomach
Then you know he hit the belly
Know your worth, then add some vat
Let them niggas know that we ain't cheap
One time I drove past my ex house
Saw her outside
Needed her to see the ride of course I beeped
Petty
Thoughts of a Patek
Should really buy a settee
Mixed emotions
Mixed messages
Mixed priorities
This here the Diary of
A major minority
We influence economy
Our first class
Should have been business
Honestly
Do you even know
Why you wanna own a home
Own some knowledge
Intellectual property
I know a little somethin
If you wanna, talk to me properly

Had some friends that I used to be close with
But to be honest that didn't work out
Had a few girls that I thought the world of
But to be honest that didn't work out
Made some choices I thought were the right ones
But to be honest that didn't work out
Had a few plans to get that dough
But to be honest that didn't work out

When you're everybody's go to
Who do you go to?
'Cause they want you to go
But they wanna go too
Do they have your back
Or are they just tryna hold you
Are they tryna drown the plant
Or are they tryna grow you
You don't mess with someone
Who your people don't mess with
Next thing
You see them with said person
In question, like
Where does that leave you
What's the rules?
Loyal to a fault
Comfort to a fool
That's Promises
Put your mouth where you wallet is
Or your purse
We don't discriminate
We innovate
We build one another
We support we don't intimidate
We don't accommodate nor facilitate
Those silly imitations
We surpass and excel limitations
But Middle finger to those who
Chose to be the opposition
Never loved us anyway
They wanna stop the mission
I'm often shopping picking cotton
Never cotton picking
But sometimes I really find it hard to spot the difference
Exhausting our existence
Wearing chains in the range
Who am I kidding
We work hard in our field
Only just to get a whippin
And that's downplayed
Keep your fake outrage
I don't wanna see the highlights
Show me the outtakes
A gain isn't worth having if without pain
And listen
You'll never get a head without brain

Had some friends that I used to be close with
But to be honest that didn't work out
Had a few girls that I thought the world of
But to be honest that didn't work out
Made some choices I thought were the right ones
But to be honest that didn't work out
Had a few plans to get that dough
But to be honest that didn't work out
