So That's How It Is

I use to have a friend that always use to worry
 I always told him things would be greater later
 one day he got his blessings and shut me down in a hurry
 and then have the nerves to call me a hater,

 they say that money changes people
 and I see it happen all the time
 now so you got your little change , you want to be evil
 when I had your back, when you didn't had a dime.

 hey you're still my boy ,we're still cool
 cause I cant just wipe you out of existence
 but right now you're acting a little rude 
 so i'm going to keep you at a distance

 now while you're running behind my back
 telling everyone that I'm just jealous
 I am happy for you in fact 
 i am nothing if not overly zealous,

 but you will need me before I need you 
 that truly can say 
 soon you'll fall from that high horse and look like a fool 
 and I just cant wait til that day

 i'll be there to tell you I said so
 when you were up you act as everyone were beneath you
 and the only thing I'd want you to know 
 is that you should not have bitten the hand that feeds you








well because of the backstabbing of an so call friend this poem is something i had to write i titled this one
