Let Them Go
You ever been surrounded in a room, but felt you were all by yourself?
No one was ever on your level, you felt high like a stealth,
Eliminate, the dead weight, before you start to sink,
They're all yes men in your circle and you're the strongest link,
They're either bums, They cant fight, or They're just straight broke,
They laugh at everything you say like they just heard a joke,
"Get a Hamburger" you say and they order some cheese,
Without a dime in their pockets, like a job is a disease,
But you keep them around because they make you laugh,
Are you at fault for that action because you're making it last?,
Then they push you to the limit, to the brink of disaster,
Sucking you dry, and when they're done then they're gone right after,
Confront them from the beginning so you can avoid all of the drama,
Or you'll be running in a race as if your name was Obama,
Let them go, don't keep them in your positive space,
They don't want you, they want you're money that's why they're up in your face.
