Loyalty from Pre-Purgatory by Buu E. Radley

The rich seem to get richer
The poor seem to get poorer
I told y'all on Mustard Seed
But I ain't convinced y'all caught
Lyrics only got better
The beats only got harder
So keep talkin' dat shit
And I'mma pull cards and start that audit
Who's real that claims real?
Who feels like I feel?
Over time the real is revealed
And the fakes get exposed
The hiss sound and the rattled tail
The snakes cannot hold
My circle small like a face pore to peep Judas in the fold
The truest shit you know is the rudest shit you've been shown
The truth causes offense
No white pickets where you've roamed
One summer I stumbled into the hoods of my childhood
Nothing left but rubble in the square feet where my house stood

L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y
I'mma hold you down 'till the day we day
When the world stops and the sun don't rise
L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y

Money talks, bullshit walks
But I think that it's the opposite
You comin' up against Obelisk
The Tormentor, I'll torment ya
Young Buu E. to the Radley
Chop Suey any emcee
You can @ me
My pen like twin glocks
Mary Kate and Ashley
Any competition gets played
Make you kiss a blade
Then chew grenades
Gorilla glue your wrists in place
Put you in my chair, you can catch a fade
I'm top ten, I'm top five
Naw fuck that, I'm the best alive
I'm Paul Walker in the Mach 5
Like Bob Barker, "Come on down!"

L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y
I'mma hold you down 'till the day we day
When the world stops and the sun don't rise
L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y

Who by your side when the dust settles?
When the credits roll and its all over?
It gets hot like a tea kettle
You feeling low and you need a shoulder
Everybody wanna scream "Soldier!"
But the facts always scream louder
When The Axeman comes swingin'
They turn ghost like a haunted house
Where your real people that'll cry for you?
That'll die for you, that'll ride for you?
Put it all on the line for you?
Plant seed when the plot foiled?
L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y
Archaic like fossils
As the sand drops in the hourglass
You clearly start to see who's who
The fake smiles you see through
And only God's gonna hold you down
The fake smiles you see through
And only God's gonna hold you down
