about

A little twist on the original song by Gotye, "Somebody That I Used To Know". Rolphy gives an artists perspective on the experience of gaining traction in your music, and what that momentum does to your relationships.

lyrics

so when I started this and I got up in the scene
they were looking at me crazy just for following my dreams
saying I could never make it like boy that's obscene
but now I got momentum and they wanna join my team
really? now you fucking acting like you feel me
I've heard the shit you talk so homy that is silly
playing like you got me but I can see a lie
just as easy as I can see the smirk that you hide
so keep on smiling you dumb nit wit
cause I'm past all your bull shit and done with it
you know who you are and I'm calling you out
just know I see exactly what you're about
but if you're real trust me I won't forget you
I got your face saved in a mental picture
the thing about loyalty it doesn't differ
whether I'm writing rhymes or getting blunted with you
playing my heart but you started with hate
so I saw where you stood from the drop of the gate
thinking you're so clever and I'm lost in your games
but once it all plays out don't come up to me and say

sorry for this little blunt wave of my anger
claim that I stay treating you like a stranger
but really you the one that's been acting like a faker
then playing like a saint or a baby in a manger
if you wanna point fingers then try a mirror
I hope you got the message from me loud and clear
oh you didn't, well here it is
you can suck a dick and get the fuck up out of here
somebody that I used to know, you never even knew me
so quit acting like I invented a new me
as far as I'm concerned you're just another groupie
I'll say it one more time you could play the skin flute b
I'm on to the next adventure in my life
hit the road quick and I'm not thinking twice
so tired of the knife, guess I'll roll the dice
don't act like we're friends when you never been nice
funny thing is to me it seems so simple
seems clear as crystal or a fucking window
said I cut you up took the knife and then ran through
but it was so much different and your words are a scam dude
