Loyal - XV

I’m asking where the Loyalty at!

Is you Loyal?

You askin' if yo boys got yo back?

Is they Loyal?

Sometimes I don’t be calling you back, but I’m Loyal

She have You wondering where she at?

Is she Loyal?

Cuz' you be leaving her out so much, now she Spoiled!

Hiding your true colors, like forgetting we was Royal

Niggas out here drilling but ain’t striking no oil

Putting brothers in the soil, Man, that ain’t Loyal

Lost some Loyal soldiers like that, when we was young heads

Who could’ve picked up pencils instead of tryin' to dump lead

Brothers like Dale and Brennan, building bunk beds

Wait until you poppin' like pimples, that’s when you bump heads

Love, Life, Loyalty and Live Long Like a Legend, yeah

That’s all that I’m reppin', L7, there ain’t no question here

Can’t replace my affection, my fanbase is my reflection

When I was feeling down they both was getting neglected

Til' I looked in the mirror and wasn’t recognizable

Every time I tried to go I was more unreliable

Been denied so much but still felt undeniable

I wake up those who riding still, tell em' we arriving yo

Never forgot from where I came, I know that the time has

Changed, I promise to stay the same, my Loyalty to the Game

My Loyalty ain’t for fame, my Loyalty ain’t for sale

Remember Everyone Ain’t Loyal, that’s R.E.A.L

Tell them cats chill, you ain’t LOYAL

If you ain’t Jazzy Jay, Uncle Phil, LOYAL

In the ending I’m Ian Fleming, nigga, my Word Is Bond

You more like a brunette that turning blonde, I’m Loyal until' I’m…Gone!

You can’t trust a word that they say

'Cuz friends will turn to foe in a day

Is it real or an act?

For the pride or a bag?

They’ll put the knife in ya back.

Are they Loyal?

Your girl just ain’t been acting the same — Is it Loyal?

Your boys been acting different they change — It ain’t Loyal

Is it real or an act?

For the pride or a bag?

They’ll put the knife in your back-

Not everyone Loyal

Who you loyal to?

What you loyal through?

Is this temporary?

Check yo temp see what it boils to

I ignored the truth, for the last time, not no more wit' you

Had to chuck the deuce, to some dudes who just wasn’t true, yeah!

I could disappear and never hear a ringer

Could count my real friends with only Homer Simpson’s fingers

All I got is my homies like Tommy, Cole & Gina

I’m Martin in the Middle, Let nothin' come in between us.

Uh!

Through the game, never changed, you stayed LOYAL

Got some fame, niggas came who ain’t LOYAL

Had some gains, felt some pain, remained LOYAL

Dedicated like my name Dwayne, the same LOYAL

Get money with the crew, Stay Loyal, There ain’t nothin

You can’t do, when you choose to stay loyal

I be loyal to the grind, stay in line, stayin' Loyal

What’s Real?

Remember Everyone Ain’t Loyal.

that’s REAL!

You can’t trust a word that they say

'Cuz friends will turn to foe in a day

Is it real or an act?

For the pride or a bag?

They’ll put the knife in ya back.

Are they Loyal?

Your girl just ain’t been acting the same — Is it Loyal?

Your boys been acting different they change — It ain’t Loyal

Is it real or an act?

For the pride or a bag?

They’ll put the knife in your back-

Not everyone Loyal

You wanna talk Loyalty, well let’s talk about it

No need to walk around it, no need try to hide it, fam

I’m no Iron Man, I can’t be Tony Stark about it

I lost my Rhodey homie and I was lost without it

I kept my cool, it was nothin' to lose, another friend

I’ve went through this before, I’ll go through this again

Your birthday the first day that we chopped it like cake

About faults that we made, and the honest mistakes

I can’t honestly say, that shit really has changed

Or the Loyalty’s gained, cuz, Boy, you the same

There will always be test and questions of moves that we make

But Loyalty is nothing more than a proof of your faith

I know people I left in my house that abandoned me

Blood makes you related, Loyalty Makes you Family

Seven, maybe you not understanding me

I try to say this candidly, but can you be, LOYAL?

And that’s that

You my dawg, until we fall

And that’s all

Ain’t nothin' else to it

That’s what Loyalty is to me

What is it to you?
