I'm scrolling back to twenty-ten back when we were brothers
Before the money and the fame started changing colors
We were standing on the corner with a dream and a plan
Now I'm looking at a stranger not a living man
You're smiling in the picture but I know what you did
The way you sold the family just to make a little bid
I'm holding on to memories of people who are dead
Even though you're still alive and living in your head
The colors are fading and the edges are torn
I'm mourning the day that the success was born
We're frozen in a second where the loyalty was real
Before we ever knew the way the winter was gonna feel
You're just a ghost in the photo a shadow in the frame
I'm looking at your face but I don't recognize the name
The heartbreak of the hustle is the people that we lost
People that we lost
I'm celebrating victory but standing in the rain
Trying to find the person who could understand the pain
I'm winning every battle but I'm paying every cost
Paying every cost
You're chasing after echoes of a life you left behind
Searching for the loyalty you're never gonna find
The success is a desert and the water is a lie
Watching every single bridge slowly start to die
You're a king in the present but a beggar in the past
Wondering how a brotherhood could never even last
Delete the file
Burn the print
I don't need
A single hint
You're gone
You're just a ghost in the photo a shadow in the frame
I'm looking at your face but I don't recognize the name
The heartbreak of the hustle is the people that we lost
People that we lost
I'm celebrating victory but standing in the rain
Trying to find the person who could understand the pain
I'm winning every battle but I'm paying every cost
Paying every cost
