Yo
Somebody dropped a jewel on me one time
And I kinda forgot about it until I was going through something
He told me, he said it's a good feeling to get what you want
But only a stupid fool hates to turn from evil
He said wise friends make you wise
But you hurt yourself by going around with fools
At 23, had a business, had friendships, had a company
Glad to be on my own living lovely
If you needed anything it was on me
Two cars deep going on shopping sprees
That week I bought the get highs and blew a G
Met a thug, fell in love, weekends in AC
Yo, when friends fell out with moms they stayed with me
If I ever need it, they said they'd do the same for me
'Cause when friends is like your fam that's how it's supposed to be
Would've died for the ones once close to me
You won't have to learn what I learned hopefully
It's quite plain that
Nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
I said nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
(Nobody, nobody)
(No)
(Nobody, nobody)
(Ooh)
(Seen what I seen)
(Seen what I been where I been)
(Been where I been)
(Nobody)
(Yeah)
Trouble with the label, trouble with the business
Led to trouble with money, then trouble with friendships
From ocean views to ghetto blues
Can't believe I played the fool
I should've cherished my jewels
Never knew my own peoples would turn so cruel
Except for a few the rest was like it's on you
Thought about school but I had dreams to fulfill
Too many visions of doing shows and seeing my name on the bill
Life got ill, watch the distance gave me the chills
Found nine out of ten phony that told me they was real
So I vowed the next time I get on and get a deal
To lay stronger foundations and just build, build, build
Keep my head to the sky and seek God in pain
And never will I trust in chariots and horses again
To focus on my future but the moment was the aim
So whatever people did only me could I blame 'cause
Nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
I said nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
(Working on the low like a private dancer)
But I know now that prayers get answered
Back on my feet and it feels heavenly
Old faces looking like how can it be?
Remember me? I'm the one you counted out
The one you did doubt
The one you borrowed from then gossiped about
The one you rejected, the one you neglected
Is the same one now like reborn and resurrected
The one you denied, now can't look in the eye
'Cause I'm the one you spit on when I fell by the wayside
I'm the one you left bleeding, the one you left grieving
But true soldiers go to war in any season
I suffered not in vain, now I'm prepared for the rain
Knowing it takes more than fortune and fame to truly maintain
But no matter how it change one thing remains the same
That nobody owes you when you out the game
I said nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
Nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
I said nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
Nobody owes ya, nobody calls ya
Nobody knows you when you out the game
(Nobody seen what I seen)
(Nobody, nobody, oh nobody)
(Oh)
(Ain't nobody)
(Oh)
(Nobody calls ya, nobody knows ya, nobody owes ya, baby)
