why do we bother sometimes
why not give this shit up
we're meant to be friends but we
can't let our guard down for too long
we value our friendship so highly
but too easily forgotten
when we want what we want
we were so tight when we were seventeen
what fucking happend that's what I want to know
I think we've lost touch with
what our friendships really all about
or maybe things have changed
people do that's cool we can work it out
now we are older and stronger
and more our own men
just a little confused cause we don't understand
why we can't hangout forever like the old days
our friendship was real it couldn't
have been just a phase the conflict we feel
in fact is just confussion cause it feels
like you went and changed it
wasn't me it wasn't you it's all and illusion
happens to us all its just not that strange
I thought we were meant to be friends
this is a story of so-called friends, just opportunist, take what they can trust and honour are words to them they smile while they stab you in the back me i got my reasons, you really want to know theres not too much to tell you say that its hurt feelings i don't think betrayal's the mark of true friends i won't have to say it again can't look me in the eye your no friend of mine no reason no reason your just an asshole screw me out of everything i've worked hard for you say its just business nothing personal, you know i'll understand i say it's obvious what a fool i was to trust you never do it again. i don't need anybody to tell me what friends are for only for money coud you be such whores tell you what you want to hear take away allthe things you hold dear and they stab you in the back, so that's my story you know how it ends, don't let yourself get duped by a friend. trust and honour are words to them, they smile while they stab you in the back.
*Friends
How many of us have them?
Friends
Ones we can depend on
Friends
How many of us have them?
Friends
Before we go any further, lets be
Friends*
Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesnt know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldnt be much help
Because A friend is somebody you judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
But some mistake kindness for bein a fool
We like to be with some, because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with, around the way
And you're still real close too this very day
Homeboys through the Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall
And then there's some we wish we never knew at all
And this list goes on, again and again
But these are the people that we call friends
When we first went out together, we barely knew each other
We had no intentions, on becoming lovers
But in no time at all, you became my girl
Me and you, one on one, against the world
Talkin on the telephone for hours at a time
Or else I was at your house, or you was at mine
Then came the arguements and all kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It couldnt last long because it started out strong
But I guess we went about the whole thing wrong
Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end
Because we became lovers before we were friends
*Friends
How many of us have them?

Before we go any further, let's be
Friends*
You say you and your girlfriend were so tight
You took her out with you and your guy one night
She even had a set of keys to your home
And you shared mostly everything you owned
But as she shook your hand, she stole your man
And it was done so swift, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you dont need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on
And your still not sure if your man is gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know thats just another lie
And now you're kinda cold to the people you meet
Cause of something that was done to you by some creep
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
That these are the people that we call friends
*Friends
How many of us have them?

G and Snoop, homeys from the jump and the get go
devoted and quoted back in 84
growin up in the LBC
platinum city, where the big gamers be
involved in everythang from Pop Warner
to whats poppin on every corner
find a skirt if you wanna
tryin to come up in this world
where everything is drama
Beverly was like my mama
W-A-double R-E-N
tryin to get in where I can fit in
catchin a bus with a homey I can trust
3 homeys from the hood straight kickin up dust
enjoyin my days and everythang is fine
15 years old Snoop d whoop on the grind
tryin to find ways to make it, dice shake it
young, havin fun, like me Snoop and Nate did
Chorus
We be havin fun, no one could do the things that we do
We be havin fun, no one could do the things that we do
I remember all the scams we been through, together
nobody does it better on which you do the weather
the days we used to call first year playin get like me
gettin in fo of zines, I loved em
Long Beach was the hometown
and every spot that we rocked, you know we got down
outside at the club just spittin raps
and every busta that ran up was gettin cracked
underground tapes used to be the claim to fame
Long Beach Was A Mutha was a classic mane
tellin tales about how we was strugglin
and surrounded wit tha homeys that was all clubbin
tryin to make it in this music
quick fast, quick cash, and hittin on the quick dash
we in this game to make hits
and make everybody respect the G-Funk click
Chorus
We be havin fun, no one could do the things that we do
We be havin fun, no one could do the things that we do
We went from young G's
to sellin million overseas
rollin Dees
and makin money by the trees
to killer Bees, evading all enemies
catastrophies, young GFC's
we made it now, livin good wit no hassles
but still a lot of problems dealin wit shady acts doe
its all a part of makin hits doe
see our careers take off like a US missle
break out the crystal
I spitted it, and now its g funked out, transmitted it
so you can call it what you want
we still goin bring the funk
G's up put it down, and ya weed to float
Chorus x3
well it started out when we were very young
schoolyard kids on the prowl just havin Fun
smokin cigarettes and tryin to buy some beer
the eight before twentyone
those were the years
cause after All we are
we are all friends
do you remember when we stole the keys
to your brothers car
we were heading for the coast
we were heading for the stars
when we saw the Man in blue it was the end
we couldn't hang for days
but i still knew we were friends
cause after all we are
we are all friends
cause your always there
and it's always right
as it's always been
yeah It's always right
right on
goodtimes badtimes
you were there at anytime
and that is why you'll always be my friend
and i keep saying
after all we are
we are alL friends
after all you are
you're mY best friend
See the strange boy
Keeping to the shadows
He's a very good friend of mine
I've seen you running from the ladies
Don't tell me you're not the kind
I've got the time if you've got the money
Mister you'll be pleased you'll see
We'll meet by the tubeway
When the screamer cries eleven
And you can have your way with me
You're gonna make me feel so cold
See my one love talking to the pretty boy
I never did like her taste
My skin is rubber on a skeletal body
I'm physically going to waste
Feel my eyes and the tongue of a killer
I'm a humanoid logic machine
Don't touch me with
Your painted little fingers
'Cause I know where they've been
You're not gonna put those scabs on me
I must hide from
A thousand grinning faces
All sucking from my crazy mind
Take a ride out in my imagery of ages
And heaven know what you will find
I've no time for the chitter chatter ladies
I'm so busy trying to break this wall
Hear my words 'cause emotion now is leaving
You see I'm really not a human at all
And I don't think I want to stay
I've watched you rise up and I've watched you fall down
'Til you've lost everything but what money can own.
And you feel alright now, but for how long?
You feel alright now, how long?
Do me a favour, stay away from my door.
I could use some good company but I don't care for yours.
No more pageants, no more.
No more pageants, no more.
I find your words empty and you know as a rule
To you I have purposefully never been cruel.
But you waste my time, such fools.
You waste my time, such fools.
My love is not here, my love is away.
You've caught me alone but you've nothing to say.
And it's time to leave now and you know the way.
And it's time to leave and you know the way.
Go and live in the country and I'll stay in town.
I have everything but what money can own.
And I'll be just fine now, so long.
I'll be just fine now, so long.
So long.

You're jealous cuz I'm this shit and you ain't
Far as I'm concerned, I don't know you from a can of paint (Hey yo, who you)
No time to worry about who likes me, who didn't invite me
Behind my back callin' me shysty, that don't excite me
Backstabbers keepin' that he said, she said runnin'
Always in my business, I leave when I see you comin' (Yo, I'm out)
See you got the game twisted, I could care less
My house is bought and paid for, your rent's due, you're stressed
Nevertheless, you wanna keep some drama on blast
But I don't worry cuz I'm quick to come and check that ass

They're spine behind your face
But meantime, they wanna take your place
Those back-stabbers, hey, back-stabbers
[Sandra "Pepa" Denton & Cheryl "Salt" James:]
Check it, everybody sees you as preemy and teeny
You see me in 3-D, and need me like a genie
All your wishes are washed up like lock up
We need to write a book called Shit That Botched Up
One thing that Sandi can't understand
The all the world jet but see a plentiful of hands
So tell me, how can we shake 'em, firmly you break 'em
Get 'em hot, and bake 'em, run to miss 'em, I may say
Chase me cuz I don't chase them, chill, in fact

Well if envy ever tempt me, Salt steer me back
[Mad Lion:]
Said why you gotta be like that, uh
We make your money, bought you watch and my stacks, uh
I know you wanna play the games we play
Only man, finds his car fade away, hey
Never never, never should you get paper
Think you better, better, get up, get up this place
Some new, shit, on my tounge and lip
Only one time, then, I will be done with it, go
Some will get with it, some will get wrecked with it
Some will host and they claim, that they say, we did
You faced it and if you why, sack and I messed with
His name was ah-uh-huh-uh-huh, forget this shit
Mad Lion is sick
No bed could get up in this re-lyrical
Full of new time threat, hey
I got my rhymes and the national anthem
Got more rhymes than either Oleen or Tonet
Got more rhymes than they made us sweat
Of a nigga, of a crooked waitin' for the damn check, uh
But let's not forget the, back-biters is the name of this set, uh
All the people, and we know you bite mine
Soldier people shall shine
Yo' come in the next track, up this
Written by Andy Summers
I likes to eat my friends
And make no bones about it
I likes to eat my friends
I couldn't do without it
Ain't a man or poet, friend
I know just how you'll taste
Your limbs go sliding down my throat
And never go to waste
Your death of course, will sadden me
Until I grok your essence
I know your life was not in vain
When digestion is commencing
Consider this a celebration
And the deepest pact of friends
And I hope that you will dine on me
When I come to an end
Even friends may come to you
With a new found revelation
But think of it as life renewed
And not their termination
"To know you is to eat you,"
Should be the code of lovers
Death brings the highest act of love
Preserved for one another
People say that what you are
Is only what you eat
And my friends become a part of me
Oh it's then that life's complete
To know you is to eat you
The act of love supreme
Each one of us inside himself
Can appetise the dream
Imagine a new world
Unseen and without form
And this our day, a new dawn
Some people are lonely
Some people are so sad
Reach out and give what you have
Chorus:
Friends are always there
In good and bad times
Always taking care, you're in my mind
And I'll try hard to take my share
Call and you know I will be there
From the start right to the end
Time for old friends If ever we're parted
I'll think of you with me
My smile, the one you give me
Imagine this new world
Friends full of sharing
A new world filled with caring
Repeat chorus and second half of chorus
i'm staring at the front door in my coat
it's kinda rainy, i've a feeling i don't want to know
i'm walking down the pavement, here i go
i'm heading for a place i've been a million times before
and there's a thousand better ways that i could spend my time
than coversation with somebody where the sun don't shine
there's lots of people i can be around and not pretend
that i've been everywhere before
and i call 'em my friends
friends
somebody's got a party where i go
i wish i lost the invitation
there's nobody there i know
conversation gets too loud
too many people want to talk
i wish they'd turn it all down
and everybody's got a million different points of view
but when you're looking out the window
that they're looking through
don't you think it's kinda stupid
trying to jump onto the rat race
train that's going the same way too
and there's a thousand better ways that i could spend my time
than coversation with somebody where the sun don't shine
there's lots of people i can be around and not pretend
that i've been everywhere before
and i call 'em my friends
friends
i look at my reflection on their wall
i feel so empty
i'm surprised to see my face in there at all
i make up an excuse to call my phone
and less than 20 minutes later
i'm in a taxi heading home
and richard burton's on a bender trying to get back home
he's never been so many miles
from back where he comes from
he must be 20 times the legal limit staring at the end
there's not a telephone for miles
i want to talk to my friends
there's a thousand better ways
that i can spend my time
than coversation with somebody where the sun don't shine
there's lots of people i can be around and not pretend
that i've been everywhere before
and i call 'em my friends
friends
Aha, yeah, yeah
In a world of, larger moves, new cars to cruise
Sometimes I make the news, falsely accused
I gotta shake the spot when the stakes is high
A brother needs space like a vacant lot
I'm lookin forward to the future, Mase and The Lox
And my little son Justin, touchin a knot
You knew I was comin for the crowns that's uptown
You knew I was comin to put it down so what now?
It's the Bad Boy, pull up and break the clutch down
in the five-speed, smirkin then pull up at high speed
Can you enterprise and rise like cream do?
And leave em talk about the last time they seen you?
Game is magnet, to everything platinum with my
name attached, can you all do that?
Think one thing when you read my name
That Puff nigga, the game'll never be the same
Chorus: Puff Daddy singing
What do you do when they love you? (Let's) "live your life"
What do you do when the love turns cold? (Let's) "live your life"
Do you love me baby I'll be your friend
Do you love me baby Though I love you like a brother
I would rather be your lover
Verse Two: Foxy Brown
Erybody wanna be Pam Grier now, stare now
Wanna know what I wear now, peep the gear now, uhh

Roll for delf, niggaz steal my shit sells
Dunn tripped on Gortex to Pelly Pel
You're fuckin with Mel, I have 500 to sell

Ballers out of town, spots in Adobe cot
It don't stop I Fox, floss plenty rocks
Since eight-nine nigga been pushin, plenty drops
Nigga keyed up, stash for real
Twenty G's please what? Fuck the soft shit
Hundred thirty pounds of raw shit, the flaw shit

Chorus
Verse Three: Puff Daddy
Can you feel me baby? I been away a long time

Can we creep when everybody sleepin and find
ourselves 'tween satin sheets intertwined
Can I touch you baby? Is that aight witchu?
Can I love you baby? What we about to do
could make the whole earth move, I tell you my first move
Climb up in it slow, I ain't tryin to hurt you
Can you feel me baby? Should I keep it right there?
Is it still me baby? Take off your night wear
And lay your pretty body in the middle of your bed
As I place myself in the middle of your legs
Do you want me baby? Just let me know
like Aaliyah baby, and I'ma set you slow
Get freaky baby, can you handle that?
Dim the lights burn candles on your back, yeah
Chorus 2X to fade
A long time ago when we met you were lonely
I helped you forget life was solely only a wish to survive
and blood flows much thicker than wine
friends who give up their time to be near you
sing you a song just to cheer you
you will be rich in the end
brother now you've got a friend
Life hurries by in the wink of an eye
almost without meaning
days speeding past like the wind hard to grasp
no wonder you're bleeding
friendship is needed today
or tomorrow is empty and we need each other please stay
For your only hope is together
we'll live in much calmer weather
and we'll make a beautiful blend
brother now you've got a friend
Friends who give up their time to be near you
sing you their songs just to cheer you
you will be rich in the end
brother now you've got a friend
Daddy had a secret
In a hiding a place
His son would retrieve it
On his dying day, yeah
Those times were something
They were something
He taught him how to love
He taught him how to fight
He stressed the need to work
For all the things he'd like
And those times were something
They were something
Those times were something
They were something, yeah
And after school one day
The boy went through some things
He found a letter there
And fell down to his knees
He wasn't suppose to be there, yeah
The letter read I'm not your daddy
But I sure would like to be
But there's one thing blood can't take away
And that's that well always be friends
And those times were something
They were something
Those times were something
They were something, yeah
Those times were something
They were something
Those times were something
They were something, yeah
Instru
Where strangers meet and lovers lie
where loosers win and winners cry
down on senseless boulevard
where they run so fast but they won't get far
when the lights go out and the neon signs
promise everything you want between the lines
there's a reason why and a place to hide
welcome to the other side
I don't believe in any word you say
how could it be forever - when dreams decay
you never know who your friends are
you never know who your friends are
you never know who your friends are
....'til you need 'em
now the night after judgement day
four horsemen ride down lost highway
if rains on senseless boulevard
Saint Valentine sleeps in astolen car
the broken promise finds a friend called wine
words of trust are the first in line
Judge says: Son, shoulda know your bride
welcome to the other side
I don' believe....
Aha, yeah, yeah

Hey momma! Can't you see I'm fuckin' cookin'?
It wasn't right for me but I knew it was time for home.
It was half past ten but all the lights were on.
Did you read his face as blank as it was.
Well mother would sit him down as strictly where he was.
And he said...
All my friends, are bloated and floating away.
I left all my friends back around the bend.
The water turned to black as the night rolled on in.
I couldn't hear a sound as I slowly turned around.
There I saw my friends all god damn face down.
And he said...
All my friends, are bloated and floating away.
And I walk on down, I don't feel the pain.
And I'll raise my eyes.
Won't you let me raise my eyes?
Momma let me raise my eyes?
Won't you let me raise my eyes again?
All my friends, are bloated and floating away.
As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
I bet you miss your friends
As simple as a breeze
Tugging hard upon the sail
Been moving through these streets forever
From Istanbul to Amsterdam
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends
As pretty as a song
A song could ever be
Like Christmas on a river
Without a boat or Christmas tree
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you look at me
You remind me that someday it's gonna end
And when you pass on
God, I bet you miss your friends
Miss your friends
God, I bet you miss your friends
Ooh... ooh... oh.. ooh...
What is a friend? Could it be that it's just a word? Or something in your life that you heard? Or just another one of those big fat lies? Cause many nights this word has made me cry. So hard my stomach hurts. Deep down inside, oh, oh, oh.
Uh, uh oh. There goes that word again. (There it goes again). How do we let it in? I thought you were my friend? (I swear I thought you were my friend?). I can't believe my very eyes. (I can't believe it). Right to my face you lied. Cause you're my so called "friend". (Yeah, yeah...)
How could you call yourself a "friend"? Uh, uh oh there goes that word again. That brings people together and tears them apart. It's always said by those who claim they love you. When all a while they wanna fill your shoes. And never calling you up with no good news. Oh, oh no..
They always when your blue. (Yeah...). They never want the best for you. (Never, never). They always tryin' to fill your shoes. (I don't understand this kind of friend. Ya'll listen oh..)
Uh. uh oh. There goes that word again. How do we let it in? (How do we let it in?). I thought you were my friend?(I thought you were my friend?). I can't believe my very eyes. (I can't believe my very eyes). Right to my face you lied. (Oh right to my face you lied). Cause you're my so called "friend".
Opportunities knocking and here comes my "friend". Uh, uh oh. There goes that word again. (They only come around when they need something ya'll, listen here, listen here). They call you everyday to fill you in. Only want to hang out. So you can spend on them. (I don't understand, I don't understand this kinda friend. Ah yeah, yeah, ohh..)
Uh. Uh oh. There goes that word again. (I, I, I don't understand this kinda friend). How do we let it in? (I can't believe my very eyes. Right to my face you lied). Right to my face you lied. Cause you're my so called friend...
(Friends). Uh. Uh oh. (How many of us have them? I don't really think we need them. If your not a friend, yeah). There goes that word again. How do we let it in? (A friend. I shouldn't have to buy you or even lie to you. To keep you as, to you keep as my friend yeah). Right to my face you lied. Cause you're my so called friend...
Uh. Uh oh. (Oh, ohh, oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh, ooh, ohh,). There goes that word again. How do we let it in? I thought you were my friend?
I thought you were. You were my friend...
Give me another track immediately...
Who said that money was everything
Well that's a crock, you know what I'm saying
When the well runs dry
Say goodbye to fair weather friends
If I need a hug
And feel like crawling under a rug
If I fell on my face
I know that you'd be there to help me up
Cause it's you, only you that makes me strong
Ain't nobody gonna make me live my life alone
A friend won't leave me lying in the road
While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
Won't steal my money
Won't rob my home or take my honey
A friend will always be there while I grow old
Oh, lovers they come and go
Like ships to a dock, a bunch of heartbreaks they are
They blind you with their innocence
And tie your heart in knots
If I need some hope
And I feel like I'm at the end of my rope
You make that funny face
You're always there to cheer me up
Cause it's you, only you that will take me along
Ain't nobody I'd rather have to help me sing a song
A friend won't leave me lying in the road
While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
Won't steal my money
Won't rob my home or take my honey
A friend will always be there while I grow old
Cause it's you, only you that makes me strong
Ain't nobody I'd rather have to help me sing a song
A friend won't leave me lying in the road
While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
Won't steal my money
Won't rob my home or take my honey
A friend will always be there while I grow old
Won't think it's funny
And stand up for me, while others call me a dummy
A friend will always be there when I grow
A friend will always be there when I grow
A friend will always be there when I grow old
I hate myself for being here
You're not understanding what I feel
Nobody cares but anyway
I wanna know what happened to you
I'm just trying to get through
In this situation I can't change
I don't wanna be anymore
Your boyfriend cause I know
That you wanna be my best friend
I'm gonna stay as long as I can
Just trying to understand
But I don't wanna be just a friend
Now it's time for me to give up,
What I need is not here anymore
I should face the truth and leave you now
But I am still here in our house,
Just wanna hold you for the last time
Tomorrow's just another day
I got my freaks to the East
I got my freaks to the West
Let's get together...
Let's celebrate...
You know I can't say no to a good time with my friends
Where would I be...
without my friends...
We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Turned each other on to the good things that life has to give
We drift apart for a little bit of a spell
One night I get a call and I know that you're well
And days I was down you would help me get out of my hole
Ohhhhhhhh
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be friends
You told me when my girl was untrue
I loaned you money when the funds weren't too cool
I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair
We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Dim dipple ee dim dipple ay dim dipple oo dim dee aye oh
Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,
I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.
Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely,"
Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.
Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...
Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,
You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.
So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,
Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew.
Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...
I'm sitting in this room alone
Time is passing by
I think of things I've said and done
And now I wonder why
At times all my eyes see
Is a world of misery
When I'm overwhelmed with pain
You tell me how endeared I am my friend
Somehow we know just what we're thinking
And listen when the other calls
I'm here waiting for your call
And when we're feeling down
We pick each other up before we fall
You're sitting in your room alone
Life is passing by
You think of things you said
And all that you've done
Now you wonder why
And when all your eyes see
This world of misery
When you're overwhelmed with pain
I'll tell you how endeared you
Are my friend
(I think we owe it to ourselves to be free,
to go out with other people, I still want to be friends)
So long to you so long to me goodbye to everything and
anything that we ever had no place left for me to subside
feels like a black hole inside of me eating what's left a
fragmented heart broken and shattered and torn apart can't
see it getting much worse there is nothing more painful
than hearing you say those words that recur in my dreams we
can still be friends how can I bear being close to you
remembering the things that as lovers we would do feeling
the sting of watching you care for another and call him
your other don't think I can go on with this pain I need
you back I can't go on another day without being with you
still they recur those words we can still be friends
Just sit yourself down friend
Pull up a chair friend
There ain't nobody here friend
But the people you need
Roll yourself a joint friend
Empty your head friend
Make yourself at home friend
this is where you belong
chorus:
Put your feet up on the fire
If it makes you feel much better
Have a glass of homegrown wine
Don't you think it tastes fine
Tear you away friend
On a planet to space friend
Faster than you can think friend
You'll be there before you know
(Agnew, Charlton, McCafferty, Sweet)

You say you want to be friends
That's a newly sharpened blade
That's a dagger to the heart
Of the promises we made
That's a chapter full of pain
A season full of rain
A dark and stormy night
Spent all alone
Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
But you wanna be
Just friends
You say you love me very much
And you'll always hold me dear
Those are the sweetest words
I never want to hear
What's a love without desire
A flame without a fire
Can't warm me late at night
When I need you most
Friends
Get scattered by the wind
Tossed upon the waves
Lost for years on end
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
But you wanna be
Just friends
Friends
Slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts
Maybe call you
Now and then
Darling can't you see
This is killing me
We could never be
Just friends
It's been so long
Since I've seen you
My old friend
I remember your eyes
How they would shine
Those crazy times
When you and I
Fooled around
I remember the time
You fell in love
Didn't know how
To say goodbye
To your baby
And you made me take
The goodbye note
Around
And that little girl
She cried and cried
And she asked me if
I knew exactly why
You'd gone
I told a like
I said you felt
She'd be much happier
With someone else
But then you'd do
The same for me
Remember when
We stayed out late
We'd cause a fight
But we would never stay
To the end
I loved you then
I love you still
You know I think
I always will
You're a good friend
A good friend
To me
Who was it
Who came for me when I was
Stranded in the bad man's land
Who was it
Who put up bail for me when I was
So desperate to get out
Who believed with me
That I was not guilty
Who gave me beer when I was thirsty
And who gave me twenty-five dollars to hold
You feel the way I do
Love has changed its course
Crashed upon the shore
I can see it in your eyes
I can feel the hurt,
Far beyond the word 'good bye
CHORUS 1
Now that it's over
Now that we're at the end
Can we start over
Back to when we were FRIENDS
Love, more than just your touch
More than just a word
Many times it hurts
I believe in you and I
Think I've found a way,
We can stand the test of time
CHORUS 2 + 3 like CHORUS 1
CHORUS 4
Now that it's over
Now that we're at the end
We can start over
[CHORUS]
It don't matter where you've been
Just focus on where you're going
Most people you think are friends
Ain't there when the tough gets going
Remember to keep your friends
Be wise with those you've chosen
'Cause only your closest friends
Are there when the going gets tough
When I think about it the definition change
Back in the old days it wasn't quite the same
Or maybe it was but on another level
Still pushing dirt with a different type of shovel
Loyalty, trust, unconditional foundation
Builds everlasting bonds and relations
I've got friends I haven't seen in years
I'd die for tonight forget and have a couple beers
On the other hand you never know where you stand
With certain types of friends they'll sell you out for some ends
Or some pussy or some weed or a business transaction
Some use words but I prefer action
I'm a break you off like an old school playa
My x-ray vision helps me see through the layers
Of you fakes, phonies, lies and deception
Ask Matt Hall if you need a life lesson
[CHORUS]
I've been all around the world and I met a lot of people
These fakes and phonies yo these cats I see through
Dickheads and homies some others glad to meet you
You better give respect to the ones that believed you
And were there by your side when the going got tough
And had your back when you got to fuck someone up
And lent you a buck when you was broke and hungry
And gave you a place to sleep living in their luxury
Big Up to Chucky that's my dog for real though
What up to Judge D since back in junior high school
Johnny Rich' that's my man Mr. Brando
My partner in crime with the gangsta flow
Daddy X, Big Pak, B, Lou, Munch, Kev, Flo
Cause if ya don't know now you know
Fuck the rest
What's up though
P.S. to my shoulder blade Alison Marie
What up baby
Fuck what ya'll think
[CHORUS]
To make it in this life you got to know who your friends
Your boys, your dogs, the ones with you 'til the end
The ones that never crack it, they never even bend
I mean like when your ass is broke they got the money to lend
The type that when you need a ride they give you the car
You don't worry about them running 'cause they'll always stand hard
Late night, can't drive, man you never too far
Barbeque by the pool chilling in the back yard
Stepping out on a Friday never leave you behind
The first to call you up when they're hitting the kind
None the less don't stress 'cause it'll always be fine
Like everything I got is yours and what you got is mine
Walk in the front door like they own the crib
But hey, what's theirs is yours and what's yours is theirs
I can't explain it no better that's just how it goes
Real friends can't be bought it's got to come from the soul so
[CHORUS]
[Originally by Michael W. Smith]
Packing up the dreams God's planted
in the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
means a chapter in our lives is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
to live as friends
And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
is the strength that now you will show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
to live as friends
And friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
Friends are never earned they're a gift from the loving God
And they're precious beyond human evaluation
But you dare not take them for granted or they'll lift away like a smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town
Somewhere where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They'd made the word ring with laughter down to this string of court
They're famous sensitive talented and their names are household words
And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes or in mine
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in small towns
Who is your friend he's someone who warms you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times when you're hurting beyond words
Who is your friend he's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair when no other medicine could possibly stop the pain
A friend is someone who clings his glass against yours
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Makes you realize that you're not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes in all shapes and sizes
The most imprtant thing they have in common is their ability
To share with you your most sky splitting joys
Or your deepest most spelling ol' some sorrows for they're all your friends
Well I've been up all night
Couldn't get to dream at all
Trying hard not to make a decision
You know it doesn't seem right
When your back's to the wall
To be accused of sensationalism
But the way things are going
Wouldn't be at all surprised
If a song that I liked won the next Eurovision
I turn around and it all looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
It's a mixed up world
These are mixed up times
And the recipe of life is mixed up too
But if it's the quality of ingredients that matter
I would award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking
That you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
You know I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
You know I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through
It's a mixed up world
These are mixed up times
And the recipe of life is mixed up too
But if it's the quality of ingredients that matter
I would award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking
That you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely upon is change
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely upon is change
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the faith we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus
Chorus
I likes to eat my friends
And make no bones about it
I likes to eat my friends
I couldn't do without it
Ain't a man or poet, friend
I know just how you'll taste
Your limbs go sliding down my throat
And never go to waste
Your death of course, will sadden me
Until I grok your essence
I know your life was not in vain
When digestion is commencing
Consider this a celebration
And the deepest pact of friends
And I hope that you will dine on me
When I come to an end
Even friends may come to you
With a new found revelation
But think of it as life renewed
And not their termination
To know you is to eat you,
Should be the code of lovers
Death brings the highest act of love
Preserved for one another
People say that what you are
Is only what you eat
And my friends become a part of me
Oh it's then that life's complete
To know you is to eat you
The act of love supreme
Each one of us inside himself
Can appetise the dream
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
From the soundtrack Friends
I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right
It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly
See the strange boy keeping to the shadows
He's a very good friend of mine
I've seen you running from the ladies
Don't tell me you're not that kind
I've got the time if you've got the money
Mister you'll be pleased you'll see
We'll meet by the tubeway as the screamer cries eleven
And you can have your way with me
You're gonna make me feel so cold
See my one love talking to the pretty boy
I never did like her taste
My skin is rubber on a skeletal body
I'm physically going to waste
Feel my eyes and the tongue of a killer
I'm a humanoid logic machine
Don't touch me with your painted little fingers
'Cos I know where they've been
You're not gonna put those scabs on me
I must hide from a thousand grinning faces
All sucking from my crazy mind
Take a ride out in my imagery of ages
And heaven knows what you will find
I've no time for the chitter-chatter ladies
I'm so busy trying to break this wall
Hear my words 'cos emotion now is leaving
You see I'm really not a human at all
And I don't think I wanna stay
Some say I am skin-deep Some say I ain't sincere But believe me I'll always tell you
what you want to hear
But I never told you No, I never told you How I fuck my friends
I've got promises to break And friendships left to kill Don't kid yourself A
middlefinger pays the bill
And I never told you…
I fucked 'em all and I fucked 'em raw
Aha, yeah, yeah
In a world of, larger moves, new cars to cruise
Sometimes I make the news, falsely accused
I gotta shake the spot when the stakes is high
A brother needs space like a vacant lot
I'm lookin forward to the future, Mase and The Lox
And my little son Justin, touchin a knot
You knew I was comin for the crowns that's uptown
You knew I was comin to put it down so what now?
It's the Bad Boy, pull up and break the clutch down
in the five-speed, smirkin then pull up at high speed
Can you enterprise and rise like cream do?
And leave em talk about the last time they seen you?
Game is magnet, to everything platinum with my
name attached, can you all do that?
Think one thing when you read my name
That Puff nigga, the game'll never be the same
Chorus: Puff Daddy singing
What do you do when they love you? (Let's) "live your life"

Met a man on the roadside crying
Without a friend, there's no denying
You're incomplete, there'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew
Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ah, ooh ooh
Oooh, I'm telling you now
The greatest thing you ever can do now
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
It's very easy just'a ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooooooh
Ohh yes, I
Ohh yeah
Ohh yeah
Ohh yeah
Ooooooh
Yeah
I'm tryin'
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooooooooooooh, well ahh
I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right
It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly
I dreamt of a move
A great move
To another place with much more land
I was driven by car
And woke before I got there
I remember the place and it was beautiful
A friends a friend who knows what being a friend is, talking with a friend.
As friends we were always so close but so far away...
Friends in life are special do you want me as your special friend?
Cause you're the friend that I've been searching for.
There was more for me
It would be more open
Scary to think that I could be happy
She'd said it was the same road
But up more, alot more
Just be patient and we'll get there
A friends a friend who knows what being a friend is, talking with a friend.
As friends we were always so close but so far away...
Friends in life are special do you want me as your special friend?
Cause you're the friend that I've been searching for.
I never got there
But the morning brings light
And so, I'll keep on looking.
A friends a friend who knows what being a friend is, talking with a friend.
As friends we were always so close but so far away...
Friends in life are special do you want me as your special friend?
Cause you're the friend that I've been searching for.
In our childhoods days
together we would play
people said we were inseparable
Like a brother then
my protective friend
he would always take good care of me
Friends that's what we are just
friends no more or less oh
here we are sharing so much fun
friends why can't he see that I want him
to be more than my friend
Years have come and gone
still our friendship's strong
now he's more than just the boy next door
I'm in love with him
guess I've always been
he doesn't know he's all I'm living for
Friends that's all we are just
friends so near yet so far from love
and oh the joy that he can bring
friends why can't he see that I want him
to be more than my friend
I'd like to tell him that I need him bad
but I'm afraid if I do I might lose
the only friend that I have
Friends that's all we are just
friends so near yet so far from love and thus
we'll always remain friends
friends why can't he see that I want us
to be more than just friends
Words:Deborah D. Smith
Music: Michael W. Smith
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say ";never";
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus

Smokin on big weed, keyed the Cali way (Westside!)
Don't like trickin but I'll buy you a fifth
I can't stand no sneaker-wearing nappy head bitch (word)

Puttin bitch-made bustas to sleep with no grief
Mash on my so-called cum, who the man?
While tuggin on your made bitch head (westside!)

Let's be friends
No need to front, let's be friends
Because I know you want to fuck
[2pac - Verse 2]
I met you and I stuttered in passion
Though slightly blinded by that ass
It was hard to keep my dick in my pants
Every time you pass got me checkin for you hardcore
Staring and watchin, me and you one on one (see that)
Picture countless options
Was it prophecy?
Clear as day, visions on top of me (oh my god)
Erotic, psychotic, would possess my body (yes, yes, yes)
Far from a quest I wanna bust your guts
And touch everything inside you from my head to my nuts
You got me sweatin like a fat girl going for mine
Just a skinny nigga fuckin like she stole my mind
Back in time I recall how she used to be
I guess money and fame made you used to me
What's up in 9-6? fine tricks in drag
Fuck Dre, tell that bitch he can kiss my ass
Back to you, my pretty ass caramel queen (come here baby, come here!)
Got my hands on your thighs now let me in-between
That's friends
(Chorus)
Friends (Where my niggaz at? hahah,
Where my bitches at? Throw ya guns in the air)

No need to front, let's be friends (Where my niggaz at?)

[2pac - Verse 3]
Can you imagine me in player mode, rush the tricks
I got em ready for a booty call, I fucked your bitch (Ha Ha!)
Was it me or the fame?
My dick or the game?
Bet I scream 'westside' when I came (westside!)
Scream my name
Cause baby it's the licoius ghetto weak spot, for pretty bitches
Up and down, similar to switches
My movement, baby let your back dip into it, make it fluent
In and out, all around when a nigga do it
You got me high! Let me come inside!
I love it when you get on top, baby let me ride!
Who wanna stop me? Am I top notch?
Fuck player hatin niggaz cause they cock block (cock block)
You probably hate to see a real thug with vision with the game
Rather see a nigga up in prison, why you change?
Made a living out of cuss words, liquor, and weed
A bad seed turned good in this world of G's
Baby got me fantasizing, seeing you naked
It's a fuck song check the record (so check my record)

[Chorus: Bone Thugs]
Friends, Friends, Friends, Friends, how many of us have them

Militant that's how we choose to roll, and we road warriorz

Neva got to worry 'bout nobody else
Indeed, and though I know I want mo' time

Thoughted tha coast was clear, but you couldn't see ah hidden Flesh

Till then and they wanted ta see tha violence
Droppin', gettin' locked and get in stayed in asylum
Livin' life on under tha hill. Release that trail
and one ah my niggaz been in celled, because I stay high
smoke, enhale. And I may break it wit' ah nigga, will he suffer
don't make no mistake, or don't faim his spray
Anticipation ta get you sprayed, but what if he hesitate
Make my day. They lay, any nigga they would
It be easy ta pick up ah tune. When do we end
Will they come get this shit done, and over ah partner
must ah been one of my friends
Betta watch yo' back, otha people you think are yo' homiez

[Kokane]
Life is much mo' precious
Than you'll think
Like a game'll make yo chips sink
It's so hard
Hard to trust a smile and face
When niggas got intentions already taking yo place
Keep my head up and stand tall
If I stumble, then I'll fall
Will you pick me up at all
Will you pick me up at all
I'm a keep it gangsta till my end
Cause some people do pretend
And ain't too many of us that we can call friends
That we can call friends
Ohhhhhhh
[Goldie Loc]
Now all I gotta do is keep my head up
And walk a straight line when fake friends won't mind
But I'm kind-hearted
And don't like being stepped on
If I wasn't real, I wouldn't be in this position
Like that, dogg, I got a whole lot to say
I'm by myself with my rhymes when we kick it all day
Lil' Jay used to say I'd never be nobody
But you know what I never do
Smoke it off like Gotti
Five million dollar hits puttin in saxophones
Tray Deee & Snoop, we sound good on this microphone
I never threaten nobody to make it happen
Let me show you how we eat a full meal off this rappin'
But if I had a chance to give it back
I'd give it to the ones who helped me do that
Do that, straight from the heart
Eastside till I die
We ain't no contract friends, we doggs for life
[Tray Deee]
It's a trip how we Crip
Suppose the enemies still
With both sides ride causing plenty of tears
Insane's and 20's both from the same city
A bunch of down niggas and it ain't that many
Me, C, and the G can think back to the start
Homies chillin', getting high, shooting craps in the park
And having a heart
To get 'em up if it was beef
Head up like G's, take it out in the street
Hold ya own was the code that I growed to view
So I fucked with and stuck with a chosen few
But Snoop Dogg, you can call me, whatever the case
And homie that ain't nothing that the set could erase
You put me with the homie, Goldie, though we never had spoke
A Insane with a 20, now we hell of a close
And y'all kids, my kids, so we family now
Cause I could never see you doing bad without
And that's real
[Kokane]
Life is much mo' precious
Than you'll think
Like a game'll make yo chips sink
It's so hard
Hard to trust a smile and face
When niggas got intentions already taking yo place
Keep my head up and stand tall
If I stumble, then I'll fall
Will you pick me up at all
Will you pick me up at all
I'm a keep it gangsta till my end
Cause some people do pretend
And ain't too many of us that we can call friends
That we can call friends...
[fades out]
now you got to have friends
you know the feelings all so strong
you got to have friends
to make that day last long
I have me some friends but now there gone
some think came and took them away
and from the dusk until the dawn
here is where I'm goin to stay
hey well I'll stand right here
at the end of the road
and I'll wait for the new friends to come

you got to have friends
talkin about friends
hey do you know what I mean
everybody's has got to have friends
you got to have friends
and some friends but there gone gone
something came and took 'em away
and from the dusk til the dawn
here ,here is where I'll stay
and I'm standing at the end of a long,long road
and I'm waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungre or frezzing cold
I got to get me some of them

If it's a hard, cold beat
You can go dance every night
You won't get it shown
It won't be missing the spice
You won't know that it hit ya
Nothing'll make you win
Even the law won't fight
Yeah!
Looking to make your winning
Even if it makes you look nice
You got a sound that's nice
Watching the days go by
You can't go to the day lord's house
We don't have no doubt
We go to too many cocktails
Pimples in way..
[Nate Dogg]
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
[Snoop Doggy Dogg]
Every since I could remember
I had friends I could depend on
Clothes to lend 'em
But as time went by
My life got a little strange
And the rules of the game seem to change
Trust, honesty and devotion
And money, money, money is the poison potion
There's no way that I can even say
That this game has been good to me
Or even bad to me it had to be
Cause tragically the way this shit
Cracked off for Doggy Dogg was magically
And now I'm gettin' everything I'm supposed to get
But my friendship with niggaz always ends up as bullshit
I listen to my momma though
She always tried to prepare me
Byt how could she do what I
I mean I'm do or die
But my life on the streets
That shit is suicide
So to cope I got a dogg and a locc
And keep my heat close in case these jokes go for broke
I'm mashin' with the click 2-1-3 that is
They my homeboys ever since kids-
Real friends to the end
Chorus [Nate Dogg]:
Hangin' out with my homies and I'm feelin' just fine
I've been ponderin' lately
A lot of different things on my mind
It seems lately my friends list
Done took a slight decline
And if you wanna know the trith man, man
Them wasn't no friends of mine
[Warren G]
You jackin' me up, you takin' my cash
All my life L-B-C, for my city I mash
All those OGs and BGs and wannabies and L-O-Cs
The only friends I got is my 2-1-3s
That's my nigga Snoop D Woop and my nigga N-A-T-E
I can't forget about my nigga H to the Deezy
Pressure and strikes
Don't wann take no lives
But these jaws, cracks and hood cracks
Will make you break bizacks
"Whussup homie, can I borrow some cash?"
Last week I agve you 500, so kiss my ass
I got a baby to feed
A familly to see through
And shake busta snitches tweekin' like you
Homies and friends that's what they for
Stayin' tight and money right
And bustin' with a 44.
Chorus (x2)
