CloverdaleRell - The Goose and the Hyena (feat. J Kelly) Lyrics

I was on a plane
I was going out to LA and I was sitting beside a man and we were having a conversation
He said, whenever you get to your destination, whats your plans
I'm talking, I'm tellin him what we're gonna do
So I ask him whats your plans, he tell me what he's gonna do
He said it seems like the way you're having the conversation
You and your boys gotta pretty good relationship
I like that kinda bond
Said, seems like you're traveling the world. You're living
Said man I remember when I was your age I was doing the same thing
Said me and my boys still tight
But the way we got to this point was we always had that Geese Mentality
So me wondering what he mean when he said that Geese Mentality
What he said was, if you ever study geese, they're pretty interesting
Said, see when geese take off you never see them without at least 10 to 12 in a pack
Said see the pack take off
Whenever they take off flying you always got the leader in the front, the rest in the back
Following the leader to take off and elevate higher
He said see, and every time the leader gets to a certain point in the sky
He rotates and gets to the back and let another goose lead the pack
He said, its always rotating
He said, something else about a goose,
When one falls they're definitely the crutch
He said, if you ever see one fall out the sky you gon' see at least 3 more fall out behind 'em
They gon' stay with 'em until he dies or until he can pick his wings back up and fly
He said, man I had a few guys along the journey that had a Hyena Mentality
You see a Hyena Mentality is whenever we hunt, we go get prey we eating
I turn my head to wipe my mouth, he eating off my plate
Said, see you gotta stay away from them hyena types
Cause they the type that if something bad happens to you
Adversity, opposition hit you, they'll be the first ones in group chats spreading the bad news
Said, see with that Geese Mentality, one thing, you fall off, nobody gon' know
It ain't gon' come from them
They gon' help you pick up the pieces, get your face back
