Loyalty

I don't know how to teach you
I'm not gonna preach to you
Only God can show you
You really gotta know you
Dear me today I gotta check myself
I've been not taking care of my health
Bad energy
Inside my head from the tears I've shed
For a stranger that I used to call friend
Things change yeah
There's no need to pretend
Acting really bitchy
So I cut it off quickly
Flexing for a nigga who
Never respected you
That nigga used you
Why you a stupid fool
I said my prayers to God because of you
I don't need you to be
Something that you not
Keep it loyal
Momma never raised a thot
I need loyalty before I give you me

Loyalty
Gotta ask the phamily
Loyalty
Loyalty
Real ones they got me
Loyalty loyalty
If I gotta ask you twice
Fake shit I gotta slice
Loyalty loyalty
If you don't give it ooh
Then you can't get it
Don't even talk to me without loyalty
Loyalty

I hate the fact that
I think of you
After what you put me through
Almost gave my life for you
I was five to wifing you
I was planning babies in my head
Now you wanna say all the things you said
Do I stay do I go
I just don't know
Shots to my chest and my ego
If you down be down
'Til we lay in the ground
I don't need you to be
Something that you not
Keep it loyal
Momma never raised a thot
I need loyalty before I give you me
Ya ya ya ya

Loyalty ooh
Gotta ask the phamily
Loyalty yaya
Loyalty ooh
Real ones they got me
Loyalty loyalty
If I gotta ask you twice
Fake shit I gotta slice cut it cut it
Loyalty loyalty
If you don't give it ooh
Then you can't get it
Don't even talk to me without loyalty
Loyalty

Let's just keep our intentions clear
If you step to me let's just do it with some good intentions
Not some shady stuff bra
I know you see Stephanie
And you see like this pretty chick
But I'm more than that
Don't step to me like you know me
I'm somebody's child
With all respect
Love Cookie
