Scales

[Intro]
I keep reminding myself, most of us won’t get the roses while we can still smell em
You’re welcome

[Verse 1]
You taught me numbers don’t lie
Get to the butter, caterpillars don’t fly
Niggas try and short me and you catch ‘em every time
I know I can leave a burden weighing heavy on your mind
Blink at me when you ready, I’ll lighten the hold
You’ve been on a tare, gotta carry the load
Had you with me back in school
I used to carry you home
Hope they don’t catch us together
Wherever we going

[Chorus]
Got me weighing all the options
You show me what the cost is
You kept me balanced, kept me balanced
You kept me balanced

Still with me through the losses
Even when you sitting with the bosses
You kept me balanced, kept me balanced
You kept me balanced

I heard somewhere
The fire that burns the brightest burns the fastest

[Verse 2]
Bad intentions when I’m with you
All the weight you carry, I’m the only one that gets you
We both love the gram, only numbers in your captions
Now it’s only flower when before you was in Aspen
Always hold me down, I can count on you
Help to make sense of it all
When I ball that’s on account of you
The Feds hate when we together
If you stay at home you can stay with me forever

[Chorus]
Got me weighing all the options
You show me what the cost is
You kept me balanced, kept me balanced
You kept me balanced

Still with me through the losses
Even when you sitting with the Bosses
You kept me balanced, kept me balanced
You kept me balanced

And they say all good things must come to an end

[Verse 3]
I got a son now, I ain’t seen you in while
Thinking of our time always leave me with a smile
I still remember everything you taught me
Trust in the process, the journey can be costly
You stand alone, they’ll never be a copy
Sometimes I miss the thrill while I’m sipping on my coffee
If rap don’t work, I know you’ll be there waiting
Battery in your back like the streets are for the taking

[Chorus]
Got me weighing all the options
You show me what the cost is
You kept me balanced, kept me balanced
You kept me balanced

Still with me through the losses
Even when you sitting with the Bosses
You kept me balanced, kept me balanced
You kept me balanced

[outro]
When I tip the scales
It hit like a 10 on the richter scale

When I tip the scales
It hit like a 10 on the richter scale
On the richter scale

Yeah
