Behan the Scene
No Good Deed
[Chorus 1]
Bite the hand that feeds you
And it's a sole mistake
They will learn they need you
Yours isn't theirs to take
It's time you pay your dues
It all comes with a price (With a price)
No good deeds are acknowledged
Your burdens drain out their solace
[Verse 1]
You're a pawn, a puppet and dishonor comes with these repercussions
'Cause his reaper's coming
A fleet of dozens tryna reap
It doesn't get by you since he's on a leash
You could say the least since he signed a lease
The Devil put his hand out and you turned it down with creed
You did what you had to do, they cannot haggle who's been tested, challenged, worn out from battle
[Spoken Word]
On the middle ground in between two sides of a story, one has exploited, who had a choice
What's now unavailable is courtesy of his pryin'
Capitalized to no avail
The other's stranded, who volunteered, but's not expendable and now has vanished into thin air while he's standin' in quicksand
It sucks him in the more he struggles; he's in trouble
"Don't move—you're urging through the more you do!"
He's caught in a net entangled 'round his ankles, pulled by an anchor; consider him endangered
He's never complained about it
The other's mistook what he's given away
'Cause it's a priority to be someone he's not: an asset who's set to put on a show, juggling decisions like a getaway driver who can't get away from this. A slave detained in chains, gripping unnoticed prestige. Existent above his undivided attention. Nothing but a scapegoat. It hurts to be helpful, yet it goes unpunished
[Chorus 2]
The lone method to the madness
Could be your grave mistake
Immoral attachment'll
Cause you to bend or break
It's time you pay your dues
It all comes with a price (With a price)
No good deeds are acknowledged
These burdens drain out your solace
[Verse 2]
Avarice, pure sinful
You're witty, confused
You envy
He's not your savior
Perpetrated, traitor, carry traits you'd trade for
You mistook for favors, you made him your favorite
No good has came from this
But soon you'll pay the price
Misunderstood right from wrong
It turned out wrong was right
[Outro]
This is the last straw
