Guilty by Association Lyrics by Pat Stay

2019

[Verse]
Everything I was taught was a lie
Yo, the cool kids are the losers now
Dude, look around
Bro, look at these OGs is doin' now
Dudes that we used to idolize
Scared to death for Calvin to meet these kind of guys
'Cause, ayy, they got the most honeys
Had the most money, fat change with the go luckies, what?
And people treated 'em like a king
Took you under his wing, payin' for all the drinks
Unlimited drugs too, give you props and hug you
Call you his lil' bro, every minute, tells you he loves you, look
You with me, shit goes down, I got you
I now the whole spill, I looked up to this dude once too
Loyalty and respect tatted right across his neck
I could paint the whole picture, these were basically all my friends
Or acquaintances, really not even that
But when I was with 'em, boy, I thought I was bad
You know what I mean? Walk in the party feelin' invincible
No one sayin' shit to you, then he hits this dude
For no reason, stompin' him out, laughin' as if this shit is cool
I giggled too, but deep down, thinkin', "Yo, Pat, this isn't you"
But that's nothin' compared to the shit he'd do
I'm talkin' about, you know, poisonin' all his people
Got his boy on the needle, got kids and don't even see 'em
He puttin' hands on his woman just to list off a couple
Used to think he's the man, but now, I'm like, man, fuck him
End up bein' a rat and a junkie, you can't trust him
And as I got older, shit just became clearer
And his war stories got more corny each time I hear 'em
Hope my son ends up a nerd
All the popular guys droppin' like flies, everything I was taught was a lie
Look at y'all now, I was 'round the wrong crowd
Did a lot of stupid shit for respect and I'm not proud
Had to find myself, learned to smile and let my guard down
Fuck them, I'm tryna make my kids and my mom proud
And it's refreshing, feels good, it's a blessing
Fuck havin' to look over your shoulder every second
For past beef or someone he robbed or disrespected
While I was with him, comin' back for me when I least expect—
[Outro]
I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time
The last time we ever met
Well, I remember
Worry, worry
We ever met
