Watch who you call your homie, my friend,
For betrayal lurks around every bend.
A tale of deceit that cuts so deep,
As secrets whispered in the dark seep.

Once we walked these streets side by side,
Scheming and dreaming with unbridled pride.
But now I see the truth behind those eyes,
Beneath the smile, a treacherous disguise.

You bro snitched on me without remorse,
A snake in the grass, following no course.
I trusted you with my darkest fears,
But now it's crystal clear, through salty tears.

We planned our moves like an intricate dance,
Building an empire with cunning and chance.
Yet greed consumed you, clouded your sight,
And in the end, darkness swallowed your light.

A code we swore to uphold till death,
A brotherhood forged with each stolen breath.
But you broke that bond, shattered it apart,
Leaving scars etched forever on my heart.

Now I walk alone in this ruthless game,
Haunted by memories filled with shame.
I watch my back, never knowing who to trust,
Wary of friends turned foes driven by lust.

So heed my warning, young souls out there,
Loyalty is rare, handle it with care.
