I only show what I want to show
Not everyone’s seen my whole face
You learn real quick who you can and can’t trust
In this god-forsaken place
Give them too much and you’re just giving fuel
To fuel their desire to come after you
Even the stuff you did good they’ll turn it to bad
And make ya wish you never had
‘Cause in this life
One is none and two is one
Cards close to your chest
Is the safest way it’s done
Easier to knock someone down
Then to help lift them up
Protecting yourself is what life’s about
I’ve learned to smile when I’m bleeding inside
Shake a hand while I’m ready to fight
‘Cause some folks wear kindness like a mask
Hide their knives behind fake laughs
Trust is a gamble and love is a war
You give a little they take even more
So I built these walls brick by brick
Opening up just makes it harder to live
Now I move quiet I move slow
Let ’em wonder what they don’t know
Peace don’t come from letting folks in
It comes from learning how to defend
Yeah in this life
One is none and two is one
Keep your heart locked tight
Till you know they won’t run
It’s harder to heal when you’re let down
So I walk tall head high eyes sound
Protectin’ yourself is what life’s about
It ain’t about fear it’s self-respect
Play your hand smart no regrets
In a world full of wolves and doubt
Protectin’ yourself is what life’s about
