The snakes from V1DM0 by V1DM0

I see you grinnin’ in the distance, eyes full of deceit
Tryna slip into my circle, talkin’ sweet just to compete
Think I’m blind to your motives, but I read you like a sign
You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I’m not the naive kind
I’ve been through the struggle, pulled myself up from the ashes
Now I’m peepin’ all your bullshit, watchin’ for the crashes
You call me paranoid—nah, I call it bein’ aware
You can keep your fake applause, I’m not impressed by hot air

I don’t trust nobody who can’t stand in their truth
Don’t need your drama or your gossip, keep that poison out the booth
Fuck a handshake and a phony grin, I see right through your game
You won’t put me down or break my crown, I’ll rise up just the same

Every lie you spit is cheap ammo for your pride
But the real shit’s bulletproof, I keep my hustle bona fide
I’m pushin’ forward with my head high, never slip or stumble
Your negativity’s static—turn it off, watch you crumble
I learned to spot the snakes, used to keep ‘em in my yard
Now I keep my circle smaller than the holes in your facade
You can’t break my will or tarnish how I shine
Your hate is just a mirror, reflections of your mind

I don’t trust nobody who can’t stand in their truth
Don’t need your drama or your gossip, keep that poison out the booth
Fuck a handshake and a phony grin, I see right through your game
You won’t put me down or break my crown, I’ll rise up just the same

Sarcasm on my tongue, it’s my armor and shield
Keep your two-faced ways, I’m steady plowin’ my field
Young and relentless, I’ve learned from all I’ve seen
These snakes can’t shake me, I’m grounded in my dream
No back-alley deals or false alliances
I’m buildin’ my kingdom, watch the empire commence

I see your colors bleed, illusions fade to gray
Keep talkin’ that trash, it don’t matter what you say
I’ve got the blueprint for success locked tight in my chest
While you’re busy bein’ shady, I’ll be on to the next
You can’t weigh me down, I’m lighter than your lies
Confidence is currency—mine’s on the rise.
