Judas

Push it to the limit, past the point of exhaustion

You are your biggest critic; forget it when people are talking about your style

Your mind, they say you’ve gone and lost it

I’ve been through this; your friends might be Judas, so just be cautious

Push it to the limit, past the point of exhaustion

You are your biggest critic; forget it when people are talking about your style

Your mind, they say you’ve gone and lost it

I’ve been through this; your friend might be Judas, so just be cautious

If you didn’t know, Judas was who betrayed Jesus

And when I went through the same thing, I couldn’t believe it

Must be dreaming – can you see this? I thought they loved me!

Now I’m speechless, I’m reaching for hugs and they snub me

Do me ugly, now they’re claiming they never knew me

Might say that they outgrew me, outlook looking kind of gloomy

They can’t fool me – people show love when you’re staying local

But when you branch out they want handouts and start getting vocal

“Jimmy, you don’t have any love for your community, bitch

You’re not true to this shit, a rapper soon to be rich.”

Opportunity kicked my door down, it never knocked

And I can never stop, under pressure and on the clock!

Push it to the limit, past the point of exhaustion

You are your biggest critic; forget it when people are talking about your style

Your mind, they say you’ve gone and lost it

I’ve been through this; your friend might be Judas, so just be cautious

You get backstabbed, your friends go for that cash grab

Bombing harder than Baghdad, get on a track and snap!

I speak the truth, might shoot if they get the proof

Of you recording inside the booth, making hits they can’t produce

Jealousy is the root of evil, deceit; I’m on pins and needles

Rocking beats, causing upheaval, so I’m not part of the people?

Ha! Treat me as unequal – what if I return the favor?

Reciprocate it, do you still feel like I’m the traitor?

I got exposure, that part of my life is over

I’m on to bigger and better things and I guess you need some closure

Is it a crime to be dedicated and still be underrated?

Simply stated, this is my song and you just played it

Push it to the limit, past the point of exhaustion

You are your biggest critic; forget it when people are talking about your style

Your mind, they say you’ve gone and lost it

I’ve been through this; your friend might be Judas, so just be cautious
