when jealousy comes for you - dj late night 00000 lyrics

chorus
when jealousy comes for you, it don’t knock — it crawls through the back door
whispers in the hallway, knives with smiles that they wore
candy*coated promises turned ash on the floor
when jealousy comes for you, you’ll see what you was missing before

verse 1
raised on cold nights, brick city brick under my shoes
mama prayed for better days, i learned to swallow the blues
smiles in the photos, pockets waiting on a cue
gold*diggers in church pews, they sing and then pursue
they talk behind your back likе they prophets with a plan
greed in their fingеrtips, loyalty in quicksand
fake friends champagne toasts, then pinch your last band
politrics in the alleyways where favors change hands
i kept my heart honest, gave my trust like a loan
they counted every promise like it owed them a throne
when doubt crept through the windows, i felt it in my bones
neglect wrote a sermon and i read every tone

pre*chorus
hate dress*up, disguised as care, you can’t ignore
they smile at your sunset while wishing for more
family hangin’ thin when the pockets get sore
when jealousy comes for you, it don’t leave no doors
chorus
when jealousy comes for you, it don’t knock — it crawls through the back door
whispers in the hallway, knives with smiles that they wore
candy*coated promises turned ash on the floor
when jealousy comes for you, you’ll see what you was missing before

verse 2
backstabbers in tailored suits, they speak in low pitch
they vote for your downfall, then pass the same dish
cheating hearts, back*door deals, i learned to read the script
envy write the headlines, then watch you lose your grip
pocket*wasting lovers with a ledger full of lies
gold chains don’t buy peace when the truth die
deceit plant seeds, watch how loyalty cries
we trade honest nights for illusion*fed highs
i held my circle close, kept the lovers and kin
but some smiled like angels while they sold me sin
despair like a winter that i carry within
still i pray for clarity, that justice begin

bridge (r&b hook, layered harmonies)
honesty, don’t leave me out in the cold
loyalty, don’t fold when the story’s told
love me true, don’t be fooled by the gold
when jealousy comes, hold me close, don’t let go
verse 3 (spoken*word cadence)
brick city nights taught me how to listen to doubt
talk is cheap, but actions? they scream and they shout
you see ’em at your table, then you catch ’em out and about
talking politics like prophets, whispering clout
family torn between hunger and pride
some choose the money, some choose to hide
i watched friends trade their names for a brighter light
but when the storm came through, they vanished like night
i stood where the cameras don’t point no lens
kept my circle small, kept my real friends
if you want me, show me — not with paper or trends
when jealousy comes for you, it’s the fight that won’t end

chorus (variation)
when jealousy comes for you, it don’t knock — it crawls through the back door
secrets in the stairwell, they whisper what they swore
promises sold cheap, love left on the floor
when jealousy comes for you, you learn what you was fighting for

outro (half*spoken, half*sung)
so keep your hands clean, watch the shadows that move
count your true friends, measure by the way they prove
in brick city newark, truth’s a rare groove
when jealousy comes for you, best be ready to lose
but i hold on to loyalty, honesty in my chest
even when the world test me, i give it my best
if they try to take from you, let your silence confess —
nothing built on envy ever stands the test
