Snakes in the Grass - Racket County, Hard Target, The Lacs

Caught me with a blindside, ambushed, nothin' less than sabotage

Started off my buddy now my moneys bein' camoflaged

I see 'em watchin', waitin', plottin' on my next mistake

It’s aggravatin' gettin' paid from several different ways

I’m just a music man put a Gibson in my hand

Round me up a pen and pad, I’ll write a song that’s really sad

About a boy that gave it all to show up on the scene

He can play guitar and sing, but he joined the wrong team

Got a cut throat contract, somethin' like a kill shot

If and when you make it out you’re so lucky if you’re still hot

Will not ever be a puppet on a string

Doin' everything you’re trained man you got to stay away from the

Snakes in the grass don’t be fooled when they tryin' to be smooth

Just lyin' waitin' on the crabs in the grass dig right through

Little loop holes all around all that you do

Ooh, ooh, they can sneak up from behind and get your ass

We’re so (That's right) cruel (Ha ha ha) better watch out for the snakes layin'

in the grass

Snakes in the grass

I guess a couple million dollars just lost in the wind

And a couple people lost that I thought were my friend

You put 'em in they place but they brought it again

In this industry first man it taught me to grin

In the face of the snake, tell the real from the fake

Learn to deal with the hate, sit back and know your place

More radio friendly and a little less attitude

Then they suck the creativeness right outta you

Then they mold you who they want you to be

And they only let you see who they want you to see

And a lotta these folks talk shit behind your back

Be the same sum’bitches wanna get you on the track

Snakes in the grass don’t be fooled when they tryin' to be smooth

Just lyin' waitin' on the crabs in the grass dig right through

Little loop holes all around all that you do

Ooh, ooh, they can sneak up from behind and get your ass

We’re so cruel better watch out for the snakes layin' (Yeah) in the grass

Snakes in the grass

All these snakes with their spine bent, an ambush is there intent

Don’t expect a bite because the venoms in the fine print

Similar to pythons with how they squeeze the life out

Your dreams they show you things you never seen and then it’s lights out

Poisoned by a contract from a serpent of the industry

They’re financial parasites and they envy creativity

I’m gettin' sick of all these labels pretendin' like they gonna help us

Like where was you when I was broke and I was feelin' helpless

'Cause they ain’t give me no money just a marketin' plan

But the profits went in your pocket 'cause it’s all was a scam

'Cause when that moneys comin' in it makes you wonder the worth

It’s like you want your cut but you ain’t doin' none of the work

I see them

Snakes in the grass don’t be fooled when they tryin' to be smooth

Just lyin' waitin' on the crabs in the grass dig right through

Little loop holes all around all that you do

Ooh, ooh, they can sneak up from behind and get your ass

We’re so cruel better watch out for the snakes layin' in the grass
