Loyalty Lies (instrumental)

from Loyalty Lies by Jay.Soul & Justo The MC

/

about

The 2nd brand new single by veteran Amsterdam groove architect Jay.Soul and New York underground rap monster Justo The MC is here!

LOYALTY LIES
Dusty soulful guitar snippets and buttery keys effortlessly set the mood and then Jay.Soul unleashes some ultra funky syncopated drums and a powerful bass line for this scorcher. Justo shows off a more pensive, observational perspective about the stresses of today’s society, superficial people and fake friends. Not to be missed!

lyrics

chLoyalty Lies

Once upon a time in a city that’s just a
(cluster fuck)/
I was in the middle of it
Trying to get my (money up)/
Not a lot of sleeping in a place
without an off switch/
Living past your means ain’t no boss shit/
Cause really in reality you alone/
Can look’em in the eye they rather watch a phone
(Got me in a awkward zone)/
Ain’t no loyalty/
People you trusted prolly snitching
where ya lawyer fee/
(Watch it get disorderly)
The conduct/
Really got me screwed up/
I just need a few bucks/
Help a brother move up/
So I’m on my grizzly, like I never left/
I’m just tryna do what’s right
But ain’t got nothing left/
( Hold your breathe) (Final steps)/
Keep climbing pray your knees don’t buckle/
You could feel they keep lying,
Cause they just don’t love you/
There’s a lot of people trying
but they can’t dodge trouble/
So a lot people dying
on the strength of the hustle/
Cold world/


Hook:

Acting like you know me/
Bet you wouldn’t hold me down/
If you bout it gotta show me/
(Fake Love)
I don’t need it homie/ Chill/




(These days)/ Ain’t no solace in the souls you meet/
(These days) / Ain’t no difference not a soul unique/
(2x)

So if they are better hold on tight/
Get a hold on life/
Cause there’s so much grief/
So much strife/
If your turn your back/
You might feel that knife/
(Backstabbers)/ I know that’s right/
Gotta/ Stay clear,
there’s a lot at stake here/
You can’t make mistakes here/
What I tell you stays, here/
We don’t address anybody
out of the faction/
If you a real one then we need action/
Hold it down/


Hook:

Acting like you know me/
Bet you wouldn’t hold me down/
If you bout it gotta show me/
(Fake Love)
I don’t need it homie/ Chill/
