Friends

Mmm
Uh-huh
Yeah
Huh, say it right

Now it's your friends you gotta worry about, to say the least
'Cause man, they'll stick it to ya kid without the grease
Run a game in the name of fun
Talkin' about every nice little thing for ya that they've done
And they've done nothin', now too late ya learn
'Cause all they wanted was a somethin' in return
That's a flammin' scam, you can tell by the gassin'
Write a check on my rep, and then later, try to cash it
But I got more bounce to the ounce, what I'm sayin'
Seven and a half ounces, brain cells on the weigh-in
'Cause mama ain't raise none, I ain't change none
I got work and my work and it stays done
A man twenty-three years, yes, I've grown
And I've learned that I can do bad on my own
I don't need a friend 'cause I got a brand new car
Or 'cause I'm a hot new rap star
Maybe 'cause my bank account is so profound
And since you're my friend, I gotta put you down
Anyway, I know clout only respects clout
And it's your friends, kid, you got to worry about

It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about

Let me tell ya, let me tell ya who your friends are
Your friends ride around in your new car
They ask for dough and they know you just got dough
They call your house every minute on the hour, yo
Talkin' 'bout, "Let's hang," you don't wanna hang
You wanna go, uh, maybe do your own thing
But they get mad and they sweat that
'Cause what you got, man, they know they can't get that
And they don't take no for a answer either
They wanna see you drivin' 'round like you have a Traeger
But you can't see, you're not a taxi
That bring girls around when they know you got a main G
'Cause that's the person that you spend time with
And spendin' time with, it does not combine with
What they wanna do, and what they wanna do
Is hangin' if you can, somethin' gotta be wrong with you
So tell me why a woman takes a man hand
And tells him things that makes him feel grand
Lies and alibis, you're my knight in shinin' armor
No, just one myth from a soap opera drama
Weekend wickedness, I know how you kick it, miss
I know your corner sit, he's gonna pay before he's kickin' this
Now you call without a thought, no need to pretend
Who hooked you up with this girl, huh? A friend
No one wants to be around when you're down and out
'Cause it's your friends, kid, you gotta worry about

It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about

Nevertheless, I don't like to stress or press, I
Likes to take it easy, do my job, that's why
My so-called friends I grew up with
Either fell off, smoked out, or just ain't shit
And the rest I just don't like
And if I see 'em again, I swear we're gonna fight
But I'm a cool brother, thanks to my mother
And a friend, I really don't need another
But I got peeps, peeps that's true
And on my record, I'm singin' all praises due
Just for givin' 'em each day, I'm livin' 'em
And to the babies, I got to put the positive in 'em
'Cause I'm a loner and owner, entrepreneur
And I'm sure you see more
Whoever made up the word "friendship"
They need to get beat with a slave whip
Because they never knew a real friend would do
'Cause when you're down and out, they're never helpin' you
They always lead you on and they sing a song
And when you need 'em, something's always goin' wrong
They said, "I'm broke, yo, I'm on welfare
I didn't have dough, I couldn't get there
My mama's sick, my sister's pregnant
My father's drunk, my house is hectic"
And then they flash a script and say, "I need a quick G"
Or, "Couldn't you spare a B? Come on, this is me
You know you'll get it back," and, yo, that's a fact
A buddy lost a job, and plus he's smokin' that
But you give the dough 'cause you's a true friend
But what you know now, if you only knew then
He wouldn't have got jacked, but a big smack
And it's only right because it's like that

It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about

It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
It's your friends, oh yeah, your friends
You gotta worry about
