Surrounded by Reptiles In The Room

Intro

(Come on, get up, come on, get up, come)

(Come on, get up, come on, get up, come)

(Come on, get up, come on, get up, come)

Chorus

Come on, get up

Come on, get up

Come

Verse 1

You say that you know me, but nah, you don't really

You only know who you wanna believe in

I know your intentions, your friends are all friendly

But why did you take my brother to prison?

Verse 2

I can't trust nobody, they don't know the difference

I don't want attention, just look at the evidence

I see people changing when they get their dividends

It's just like they're auditioning to be my best friend

Verse 3

I need to keep focused, my goals are ambitious

I'll take my time, I don't even think of quitting

My mind is a weapon, you better be cautious

It's not for the weak, this life can be toxic

Verse 4

I just need to make sure my family's protected

There's only a few that I know I can trust

I'd rather be alone than surrounded by reptiles

They snake in the grass, and I can smell the musk

Verse 5

I'm done with the games, I just want the results

They love to talk down, but they never can walk it

They come with the lies, yeah, I know they can't stop it

I'd rather just leave, 'cause I'm over the nonsense

Chorus

Come on, get up

Bridge

Tried to fit in the frame, but the frame was too small

Now I walk in the room and the room starts to fold

Every door that I closed was a door that I chose

Now I'm standing alone and it feels like a home

Verse 6

They ask where I'm from, I say east of the silence

Where the winters are long and the summer's a rumor

I don't owe you a story, I don't owe you a reason

I just water my roots in a different season

Verse 7

Mama said watch the hands, not the mouth, of a man

'Cause a mouth can be sweet while the hands make a plan

I keep one eye open, one foot on the road

And a pocket of patience for the ones who explode

Pre-Chorus

Long nights, long roads, but the vision don't blur

Every scar is a chapter, every chapter a turn

I don't need a parade, I don't need a crown

Just a table, a plate, and the ones I call

Verse

Loyalty's currency, I don't do credit

You pay in the present or you don't get a sentence

I keep my circle a circle, not a crowd

If you're in, then you're in, and I'll say it out loud

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Na, na, na, na

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Na, na, na

Verse 8

Built from the ground up, no blueprint, no crew

Every brick that I laid, I know what it cost too

They wanted a version of me that would stay small

Now the shadow I cast doesn't fit in their hall

Verse 9

I move like the tide, quiet then I arrive

You blink and the shoreline is nothing like you left it

No apologies written, no seatbelt, no brake

I just carry the weight and I turn it to shape

Pre-Chorus

Hold up, hold up

Let me check the map

Hold up, hold up

Ain't no turning back

Chorus

Come on, get up

Come on, get up

Come

(Get up)

Drop

Get up, get up, get up

Come on, get up, get up

Get up, get up, get up

Come on, come on

Verse 10

Loyalty's currency, I don't do credit

You pay in the present or you don't get a sentence

I keep my circle a circle, not a crowd

If you're in, then you're in, and I'll say it out loud

Verse 11

Long nights, long roads, but the vision don't blur

Every scar is a chapter, every chapter a turn

I don't need a parade, I don't need a crown

Just a table, a plate, and the ones I call
