Temporary
A BOOGIE Lyrics

And I'm just giving you real
A Boogie is being honest with his listeners

I swear these niggas be so temporary
People, especially guys, are not loyal

Bitches be so temporary
Girls, too, are not loyal

Gotta listen I don't think they hear me
A Boogie wants his listeners to understand what he's saying

Turn it up 'cause I don't think they hear me
He wants them to turn up the volume

Lemme tell you how I feel
A Boogie wants to share his perspective

I heard loyalty is everything and shit
There's a saying that loyalty is important

But where she at I swear to god
But A Boogie has never experienced loyalty firsthand

I never seen that bitch
He's never witnessed someone being loyal

They said they love me I promise
People claim to love him

I won't believe that shit
But A Boogie has heard it all before

'Cause they be faking it
People are not sincere

Saying it like they mean that shit
But they talk as if they are authentic

I hate that, why you want the truth
A Boogie is asking why people want honesty

If you can't face that
If they can't handle the truth

I be keeping that shit a thousand
A Boogie always keeps it 100%

I give 'em straight facts
He's providing factual information

Time is money , money is time
Time is valuable, just like money

And you can't replace that
You can't replace wasted time or money

If everything I tell you is real and how you gon' fake that
A Boogie poses a rhetorical question; if what he says is real, then how can people fake not knowing what he means?

And I ain't saying niggas is Different
He's not saying all guys are untruthful

But yeah it's different
But, in general, people are not trustworthy

And a lot of niggas say they official
Many guys claim to be genuine

Really be bitches
But they're actually fake and untrustworthy

Just keep a small circle if not
A Boogie suggests having a small group of friends

Just stay independent 'cause niggas is quick
Otherwise, stay independent or else guys will turn on you

To switch up and go missing
Guys will frequently change sides and disappear

And they will never go that hard with you
They won't have your back like they should

Never go that far with you
They won't support you to the fullest

How you gon' let a nigga eat
Why would you help someone else succeed

And he ain't starve with you
When they didn't struggle alongside you

Prolly break the law with you
He questions if they would even break the law with him

Never take the charge with you
They would never face the consequences with him

Watch you slip up
And, in fact, they are waiting for him to mess up

They will never take the fall with you
They won't take the blame for anything

So now I'm walking in the rain
It's a depressing time for A Boogie

With my timbs on stepping over
He's walking with boots through puddles

Puddles full of pain
He's metaphorically stepping in sadness and negativity

All my friends gone, some in jail
His friends have either left him, or been incarcerated

Other niggas changed like a Drake song
Others have grown distant and unrecognizable

But I'm going in, I'm scoring
A Boogie is still moving forward and succeeding

And I'm just making that shit count
He's determined to take advantage of his opportunities

When I gave these niggas chances
A Boogie tried to help his friends

They kept turning that shit down
But they kept refusing his help

Yeah they say they fucking with me
They claim to be his friend

They just say that shit right now
But only for the time being

But when I turn around
When he's not looking

They no where to be found
They will disappear

And I ain't with the drama
A Boogie doesn't want any trouble

I know these bitches temporary
He knows not to expect loyalty

When I see 'em I say hamba
When he meets them, he greets them politely

I don't need 'em I say hamba
He quickly disassociates himself from them

I say asalamalakum
He greets them with peace

They gon' tell me walaikum sala
They will respond accordingly

It's the same with these niggas
The same applies to guys

That be saying they gon' ride or die
But claim they will be loyal no matter what

When I know
But A Boogie knows

They ain't really gon' ride or die
They won't actually be there for him

I fuck around and let that choppa fly
He's ready to cause serious harm if need be

Just because they day one
Just because they've been friends for a long time

That don't make 'em a one
Doesn't mean they will always be there

Real recognize real nigga
He knows who is genuine and who is not

I can't mistake one
He won't make the mistake of trusting the wrong person

I just keep it pushing when I run into
He will just move forward when he sees someone he doesn't trust

A fake one
Someone who is not genuine

You know loyalty is everything
He understands the importance of loyalty

Until my fucking day come
It's especially important for him personally

Ain't it crazy how them niggas say they
He thinks it's insane how guys claim

Fucking with ya , grab a pistol
That they support him, but then get aggressive

Bust it with ya, you go to work
Trying to get him to commit crimes

They at ya crib trynna fuck ya sister
They'll try to sleep with his family

The ones close to you
People who are supposed to be close to you

Will do the most you
Will treat you the worst

If it's bread on ya head I'll bet
If there is a reward for capturing A Boogie

They put that toaster to you
They will kill him for the money

They look at you and smile tho go half
They'll share with him at first

With you on a bottle
They'll drink together

Sip hennessy and moscato
They'll drink different types of alcohol

I ain't even Gon lie tho
But A Boogie isn't lying

That's word to my nigga Quado
He swears this is the truth, inspired by his friend Quado

Rest in peace my nigga Quado
Quado has passed away

They call you bro when they need you
They'll refer to him as a friend when they need something

In the cold like Chicago
They'll treat him poorly

First they hate you then they love you
They'll go back and forth on how they feel about him

Then they turn into a snake again
Eventually, they'll turn on him again

No new niggas I'll never
A Boogie won't trust new people

Make that mistake again
Because he won't repeat his past mistakes

They start off real cool
At first, people pretend to be genuine

But once you see that they faking it
But eventually, their true colors come out

Take a picture nigga you might never
He advises to take a picture, because who knows if they'll ever see them again

See they face again
They might never see them again

Lemme tell you I feel
A Boogie wants to express himself

Lemme tell you how I feel yeah
He's going to be honest

And I'm just giving you the real
He's providing his perspective

I'm just giving you real
He's keeping it honest
