Life Is Backwards

Anta Gatewood

Rhymed
Life is straight backwards but people don't see it/ So imma break it down for the ones who don't believe it/ Fakes gets noticed when the real ones don't/ Some people say that they'll ride for u and know that they really won't/ Death before dishonor now it's dishonor before death/ Ur old friends will watch ur downfall when ur new ones will help u do ur best/ There's nomore loyalty nowadays some people u can't trust/ Everybody is for self what happened to we and us/ The world is getting funny every single day/ Life is straight backwards but only the real can relate
