[Verse 1]

He’s not even a friend, just an acquaintance
Takes years to balance the essence of a friendship
Doesn’t take rocket science, soon he’ll look at you in silence
But it isn’t that easy to see enemy written on his lips
Bet he won’t be there when the days grow short
Thinks he supports you but does his best to throw you in backcourt
He’ll leave you alone, treat you like you deserve to be an outcast
Gives you a vast blast, trying to outlast what he thinks is outclassed
Talks to you like ya’ll friends, then turn his back on you
Really you don’t exist in his view; you’re a breathing statue
It all can happen in one day
Betrayal is written all over his x-ray
Someday you’ll realize he’s displayed you as a fool
Cruelty is what he fuels on, his mental level’s in preschool
He does his best so you’ll never find out
Finds ways to knock your senses out
He pitched out, you swung and strikeout
Life’s too large to stress on one soul
His goal is to try to make you lose your control
(Don’t mind him any)

[Chorus]

(It’s payback time)
In this world today, you’ve got to learn to watch your back
(It’s payback time)
This world has ways to slap you if you never look back
(It’s payback time)
It’s hard to see what’s there when it’s pitch-black
(It’s payback time)
If you’re not careful, they have ways to run you off track
(It’s payback time)

[Verse 2]

You say she’s your friend; you just met her
Life’s all better when she answers all your questions
Your mind’s blistered; you can’t distinguish the bitter
Her vision widens, using your blindness for her weapons
Tell her your secrets; you think they’re all safe
That’s where you made your first of many mistakes
You’re new to the neighborhood; you wouldn’t of known
She enthrones you to be the backbone
Your mind’s blown all over, it seems as if you’ve found a new home
Situations occur, ditches you in one second you’re all alone
You had a feeling this would happen; still you didn’t do anything
Now you’re bruising inside your own booming beating
(And it’s your entire fault)
You doubted your conscience, when you should’ve listened
You’re weakened; feel like your isolated on an abandoned island
(You should’ve listened)

[Chorus]

(It’s payback time)
In this world today, you’ve got to learn to watch your back
(It’s payback time)
This world has ways to slap you if you never look back
(It’s payback time)
It’s hard to see what’s there when it’s pitch-black
(It’s payback time)
If you’re not careful, they have ways to run you off track
(It’s payback time)

[Verse 3]

In the beginning they seem to be a friendly kind
Only if there was rewind in life, you could see just how blind you were
As ghastly feeling it happens to be, it only made you stronger
Above all you’ve captured a wiser mind you won’t ever fracture
You have to teach yourself there are 2 faced people in this world
In all this game is swirled up with lies, it twirls you mind
You try to incline your self-esteem, but they grind up your mind
Trust is an issue in this world today
It’s not okay to be the smoked hay thrown in the ashtray

[Chorus 2x]

(It’s payback time)
In this world today, you’ve got to learn to watch your back
(It’s payback time)
This world has ways to slap you if you never look back
(It’s payback time)
It’s hard to see what’s there when it’s pitch-black
(It’s payback time)
If you’re not careful, they have ways to run you off

Bud you really got to start following the rules.
