[Hook]
But these are the people that we call friends
[Verse 1]
Friends come, friends go
Some move too quick
Some just too slow
A lot of em come thru n it’s just for a season
Some stay a life time n it’s for some kinda reason
Don’t even think you can do it on your own
Can’t get no where with no help
N I don’t care if you grown
Cause it’s known as the people
We don’t help each other succeed
When money involved there’s envy hatred n greed
Niggas camouflage themselves like snakes in the leaves
Waitin to strike any moment to try n kill your dreams
It seem foul but we was cool up until then
[Hook] x 4
Bur theses are the people that we call friends
[Verse 2]
What was I thinkin when I was makin this song?
Oh yeah, can’t believe a niggas first cuz’ll do him wrong
But them the worst ones
Because they related
Thinkin they can get away with some shit n not be hated
I mighta forgave it but I ain’t forgot
And ain’t even no need to try to cross that bridge
You burned to get ya spot
I know some that got issues too can’t
Share your intimiate secrets they use it for a weakness
They’ll keep it on file
And in their brain they push it to the back
Until the perfect moment when they ready to attack
The fact remains its still the same between women n men
Some are genuine n some are just gone in the wind
Smile in ya face n stab ya soon as ya turn round
You just a follower acting wild so you can gain some ground
We used to be down
N cool up until then
[Hook] x 4
But these are the people that we call friends
[Verse 3]
Yo why you still playin games
I thought that we were past that
I guess not yet
Thought that we was tight knit
But you still messing up the mood
I think that you attitude just a complete buzz kill actin like im a fool
You make me wanna kick rocks
N hope one of em hit ya in ya face when I walk out
Somebody know what Im talkin bout
Cause we don’t get along no longer than 10 minutes
Errything be pal z pal z but now the shit finished
You crossed the finished line before the shit got started
But errytime I make a stride you block it
I wonder what the world is your problem
I can solve the riddle for ya
Don’t want nobody to get in front ya or do better or leave ya
Its all in your mind what you seekin find
But you so blind n scared of being left behind
You cancel out your own self n blame it on other folk
Imma for ya though, cuz we were cool up until then
[Hook] x 8
