We’ve all got jealousy surrounding us on a daily basis. This is a track about not giving into its ugly nature and just continuing to do our own thing.
lyrics
While we’re out here trying to do something so different
These people act, like we’re actually so ignorant
Like we don’t know what we’re doing, just following trends
But they’re really adversaries dressed up just like our friends
May it be rapper, musician, or whatever the hustle
They sit and scheme their next move like it’s a piece of the puzzle
Aiming their shots, when we try to progress
Cause they hate seeing others, having any success
It’s such a shame to see
Such hypocrisy
It’s such a shame to see
Such jealousy
Let’s look at the truth; when you’re down, they’re proud
Of themselves cause they feel like they stand out in the crowd
But when you’re up they truly despise it
Cause they’re so devious and so conniving
They talk behind our backs like it’s a game
That they need to win, to glorify their name
Then when they’re caught they cast off the blame
Like I said, it’s a crying shame
Cause when they were down we came up to their sides
Helping them survive and getting them to strive like;
“Good job man, you’re improving yourself,”
But when it’s their turn they become someone else
I sit and wonder why these people act the way they do
Maybe it’s just the fact that they hate me and you
But I think it’s much deeper, like a self-hatred’s at play
I’m just glad I’m not like them at the end of the day
It’s such a shame to see
Such hypocrisy
It’s such a shame to see
Such jealousy
So with all of that in mind, check your own life
For the wolves in sheep’s clothing taking up your time
Like they want your attention but they show you none
And talk about your failures like it’s all in good fun
But what it really is, is envy in disguise
They don’t want to see you fly, they don’t want to see you rise
Up to a new level with your happiness in mind
Cause they want to see you fail, time after time
I’m saying all of this as a warning to those
Who want to thrive in life and perpetually grow
You probably have foes that you don’t even know about
Waiting in the shadows, of this I’ve got little doubt
But stay in the game, stay in your lane
Continue onward with this lifetime race
Cause you’re truly blessed, and they know that it’s true
They’d give anything for a day, of being you
It’s such a shame to see
Such hypocrisy
It’s such a shame to see
Such jealousy
The Bronx is one of my all-time favorite bands. Seeing them live is an experience one won't soon forget. But if you can't make a show, check out this live album instead as proof of their energy. Dre Carlan
