Kept the flowers behind your back
It's the thought that counts
You don't wanna blow smoke
But I don't want that crown
Nothing noble 'bout going for it
Still do it all for us
And since day one, in the squad I trust
I don't want them to look up to me
Need to see the bros eye to eye
They saw me jump without an instructor
But then I grew wings on the skydive
Said with a straight face
I'ma take us up out of the mud or die trying
Look who's thriving and still alive
Never looked for a high five, aye
Pure intentions, my only hope is I earn respect with
The folks I care for the most
How they treat you in person doesn't answer the question
Maybe it's something you'll never know
What do they say 'bout you when you not around
Are they gon' build you up or knock you down?
Some'll hate you, some'll love you
Gotta know the truth from what they talking 'bout
Long as I'm getting paid and still making my momma proud
I'm good forever, can't get to me
No, I wouldn't let 'em
If I need opinions I look in the mirror
Or I look to heaven
'Cause face to face with 'em, not a sound
So what do they say 'bout you when you not around?
Last time I saw them we caught up and laughed
'Bout stories from the past
Then they asked me about the fam
Got a few little birds 'round the way
Word always comes back
Same day they were cool with me
They took my name through the trash
I ain't even get mad, got pity for a troubled soul
Feel for 'em but can't relate
I ain't never been one of those
Early when it's time to cut 'em off
Never been one to cut it close
Forgiving costs, them roads I take are so high I got a bloody nose
Pure intentions, my only hope is I earn respect with
The folks I care for the most
How they treat you in person doesn't answer the question
Maybe it's something you'll never know
What do they say 'bout you when you not around
Are they gon' build you up or knock you down?
Some'll hate you, some'll love you
Gotta know the truth from what they talking 'bout
Long as I'm getting paid and still making my momma proud
I'm good forever, can't get to me
No, I wouldn't let 'em
If I need opinions I look in the mirror
Or I look to heaven
'Cause face to face with 'em, not a sound
So what do they say 'bout you when you not around?
