my success

verse 1
I stayed up late, working while you slept tight
put thousand of hours, into the dark night
now the sunrise is hitting my name
suddenly everyone is talking
no congratulations, just Cold stares
The same people who claimed they love me
are the ones trying to knock me down

chorus
when I win, they hate me
(why)
turned their back on their own who just smiled
(why)
they don't show love, they just show teeth
(why)
jealous poisoning every single word
(why)
they hate it when you make it out

verse 2
whispers in corners
spreading those rumors, feeding the liar
they say that I changed, say that I'm proud
just because I got lifted
they can't celebrate a win that ain't theirs
suddenly expert on all my affairs
they love you when you are down on your knees
but hate when you rise up, and do what you please

chorus

when I win, they hate me
(why)
turned their back on their own who just smiled
(why)
they don't show love, they just show teeth
(why)
jealous poisoning every single word
(why)
they hate it when you make it out

go ahead and talk, keep my name in your mouth
your gossip is fuel, your envy is free
I used to want love, now I just want peace

(beat solo)

chorus
when I win, they hate me
(why)
turned their back on their own who just smiled
(why)
they don't show love, they just show teeth
(why)
jealous poisoning every single word
(why)
they hate it when you make it out

keep talking
keep whispering
I can't hear you from the top anyways
cause when I look down I'm all alone
no love shown
no love needed.
