[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Now that you surround yourself with thieves
EmWhere is the good you shared with me
FPrivate keys are used just to Emunlock it
FEverybody's hands in someone Emelse's Gpocket
[Verse 2]
CEveryone's a fool who's not like you
EmEverybody's doing what you do
FWhy should you pay if someone Emelse is buying
FYou won't tell the truth cause Emeverybody's Glying
[Chorus]
AmNo one wants to be rEmeminded
FNo one likes to hear their best is Efar behind them
AmI don't want to the  good exGample
FI don't want to be the good exGample
[Verse 3]
CIf this gives you the power to be right
EmNo matter what you're doing in your life
FSecret of the bedroom have been Emopened to you
FCriticizing others for the Emsame things you Gdo
