jealousy - rocky rivera lyrics

[verse 1]
imagine if all your enemies were your friends, legends were only lies
stories that you were told, double as alibis
family that you love, sold you out to the feds
lovers that you once trusted had others inside your bed
i’m…spinning in circles and tumbling in my sleep
beware the voices you hear, the company that you keep, will tell
all of your secrets the minute they get upset
fingers twisted behind their back while they pinky swear you to death
they putting’ it on they mama, eventually they betray
the father you idolize got a b*st*rd on the way
your brother said he’d protect you, your sister that you adore
now you sufferin’ from neglect, they not here for you anymore

[chorus]
the jealousy, envious of the gift that you were blessed
the jealousy, hate…simmering deep inside their chest
the jealousy, stemming from resentment never addressed
the jealousy, reason for why empathy is suppressed
the jealousy, couldn’t see it before but now i see
the jealousy, when all i want is reciprocity
the jealousy, archnemesis of loyalty
the jealousy, difference between…you and me
it’s the jealousy

[verse 2]
imagine if you were blessed with abilities unforeseen
divination came easily, message inside your dreams
you were given a secret language, communicate with the spirits
savage beasts were tamed, but mortals, they only fear it
instead, they whispered rumors you dabble in dark magic
hated your independence, converted you to a catholic
so you, you could be guilted for sins never committed
and said, you were hysterical, spiritually*conflicted
the lies they circulated, they punished you severely
all in the name of god, to serve the patriarchy
so you, were beaten and humiliated on the daily
gaslighted and slighted, telling you that you crazy
[chorus 2]
the jealousy, reason why women hide behind religion
the jealousy, men have for never bearing children
the jealousy, mother nature facing annihilation
the jealousy, destruction threatening our creation
the jealousy, tired of being threatened on the daily
the jealousy, worth more than wages that they pay me
the jealousy, bottomless pit of envy, it’s a shame
when you hear them singing my words and chanting my name
it’s the jealousy…
