karaoke

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

Yeah.. uhh, check it right
[Positive K]
Now it's your friends you gotta worry about, to say the least
Cause man, they're stickin to ya kid without the grease
Runnin game in the name of fame
Or talkin about every nice little thing for ya that they've done
And they've done nuttin now too late you learn
Cause all they wanted was uhh, somethin in return
That's a flam and a scam, you can tell I ain't gas it
Bite 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, braincells, on the way in
Cause momma ain't raised none, I ain't changed none
I got work in 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've got a brand new car
All 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
[Chorus: x4]
It's your friends, oh yea your friends, YOU GOTTA WORRY ABOUT
[Positive K]
A let me tell you let me tell you who your friends are
Your friends ride around, in your new car
They ask for dough when 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 wild maybe do your own thang
But they get mad, and they sweat that
Cause what ya got man they know they can't get that
And they don't take no for an answer either
They wanna see you drivin round like you're Alex Rega
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 spend the time with, it does not combine with
what they wanna do, and what they wanna do
is hang and if you can't 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
Large and (?) you're my knight in shining armor
Known this woman, from a soap opera drama
Weak in wickedness I know how you kick it miss
I know you're gonna say who's gonna pay before he's stickin this
Now you're caught 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
[Chorus]
[Positive K]
A nevertheless I, don't like to stress abouts I
Likes to take it easy, do my job, dat'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 him 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 on that
To the babies I got to put the Positive in 'em
Cause I'm a loner and known to entrepeneur
And I'm sure you see more..
Whoever made up, the word friendship?
They need to get beat, up with a slave whip
Because they never knew, of what a friend would do
Cause when you're down and out, they never helpin you
They always lead you on, and they sing a song
And when you need 'em somethin'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 mom is sick, my sis is pregnant
My father's drunk, my house is hectic
And then they flip the script and say I need a quick G
Or couldn't you spare a beat? C'mon, this is me
You know you'll get it back, aiyyo yea that's a fact
I've already lost a job, and plus be smokin that
Off with you give the dough, cause youse a true friend
But what ya know now if you only knew then
He wouldn'ta got jacked, for the big smack
And it's only right, because it's like that
[Chorus: ad libs]

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

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.

Look,
Can you see the fields of wheat?
They don’t mean much to me
I can’t live on that
Still, now
When the sun turns to red
I will match the golden fields
To the color of your hair
This is the secret you will keep within yourself
And are never to forget
One sees well only with the heart
For what truly matters is invisible to the naked eye
And hey, go get back and take a look
At those who’ve made you feel ashamed
And you will understand
It’s yours, the prettiest rose of all
For the efforts you have spent
And the love you have given
(CHORUS)
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
My friend
This is the secret you will keep within yourself
And are never to forget
One sees well only with the heart
For what truly matters is invisible to the naked eye
Hey, hey
(CHORUS)
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
My friend
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends
Always be friends-ends

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.

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 drift away like a smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish
Like the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns
And they probably won't rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in small towns
Where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They'd made the world ring with laughter
Down to it's gaseous burning core
They're famous, sensitive, talented
And their names are household words
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 the unspoken word in hard times
When you're hurting beyond words
Who is your friend?
She's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair
When no other medicine can stop the pain
A friend is someone who clinks 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 aren't really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes and in all shapes and sizes
The most important thing they have in common
Is the ability to share with you, your most sky splitting joys
Or your deepest, most awesome sorrows

SCOOTER!! Yeah!!
We're gonna hit you harder!
Yeeah! C'mon, c'mon!
Friends!...We'll be Friends!
We'll be friends...We'll be friends!
Friends!...We'll be Friends!
We'll be friends...We'll be friends!
Friends!...We'll be Friends!
We'll be friends...We'll be friends!
Friends!...We'll be Friends!
We'll be friends...We'll be friends!
We're gonna hit you harder!
Yeeah! C'mon, c'mon!
Friends!...We'll be Friends!
We'll be friends...We'll be friends!
Friends!...We'll be Friends!
We'll be friends...We'll be friends!
Friends!...We'll be Friends!
We'll be friends...We'll be friends!
Friends!...

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

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
I swear now, I done killed that shit
Dangerous Na Na, niggaz feel my shit, 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
Convertible shit, leavin bitches real sick
Heard he liked to trick nonstop, floss a lot
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
The P.C. on some real to Newark shit
Recall, my whole fam jig the fuck up what?
Bet-ta chill, 'fore you slip the fuck up
Get your wig, split the fuck up, nigga lust
Dangerous, when three general niggaz bust
Infa-wear, but I sips Dom Pierre
Floss through the ave all them hoes wanna stare
Oh yeah? I'm up in your life, play you trife
Brook-lyn, bring it on nigga
Chorus
Verse Three: Puff Daddy
Can you feel me baby? I been away a long time
Is it still me baby? The one on your mind
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

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

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

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.

Friends
I've got friends
Friends
I've got friends
Don't you be ashamed of how you feel when someone
Lends you a helping hand
Because the bottom line is bein' for real in
Every way that you can
Ask yourself, after all that you've learned
Would you do the same thing if the tables were turned
Well, my answer is, "Yes"
'Cause I've been through the test, now I'll never forget my
Friends (You can bet)
I've got friends (My values are with my)
Friends (So glad that I)
I've got friends (And not the fair weather kind)
Whenever I am feelin' down and out, they help me
Get through the rainy day
They lift my spirits and erase my doubts then
Chase those gray clouds away
If I had a dollar for every time
That they have stood by my side helping things turn out right
I would be a millionaire
And my wealth they would share 'cause I'd be nowhere without my
Friends (I'm so glad)
I've got friends (My values are with my)
Friends (I'll tell you I)
I've got friends (And not the fair weather kind)
We share the good and the bad times
Friends, ooh, ooh
Hangin' out, it's no problem, my
Friends, ooh, ooh
And we take up for each other, look out for each other, yes, we do
Ooh, ooh
Said we take up for each other, look out for each other, the way friends do

Don't let me catch a felony
People trip out, bring out the hell in me
But I stay paid in full, faithful, and always grateful
Stay on guard, praise God, pity the hateful
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
Why you gotta be like that, uh
Only one-ninety people stepped back, uh
Friends to the end for the ends did ya favors
Damn, why you wanna stick me for my papers
Would have gave you the world now you can't catch a crumb
How you bum-bum-bitty come so dumb-dumb
Remember when you was all busted, broke down, beat up
Even kept you as a friend when you stole to stay steed-up
Wanna be down with my business, we meet up
Schemin' like a demon on the couch with your feet up
Playin' like a summer may stain by far
Got mad I had the juice so you tried to take the jar
I feel for you, yes, I do
No fame, no crew, now what you gon' do, Boo
He say, she say, we say, why say
The fly-ways my way
The try fray, hit the highway
Say one, then some
The paper, can't understand, uh
One degree says, she can't understand
Oh some friend come, wait, you been scammed
The thing that everone thought
Bought the Mr. Lover some
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
You smile in my face but all the while you wanna take my place
Put it on a paper chase and you can't keep my pace
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
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
Like friends we are family with a bill attatched
Pep's that green-eyed monster, make them ill and that
Well if envy ever tempt me, Salt steer me back
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

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...

When I saw you wave goodbye
It made me smile while it made me cry
I never thought I'd see the day
I never thought you'd walk a million miles away
But I know we all gotta grow so
These days everybody wants to find out how the story ends
So we say nothing is a possibility if you don't got your friends
And I know as time goes by we're never gonna pretend
'Cause you and me will always be friends
So if you're feeling all alone
Remember good times or remember home
And if you question all that you see
Remember that you always got a friend in me
'Cause I know we all gotta grow
These days everybody wants to find out how the story ends
So we say nothing is a possibility if you don't got your friends
And I know as time goes by we're never gonna pretend
'Cause you and me will always be friends
These days everybody wants to find out how the story ends
So we say nothing is a possibility if you don't got your friends
And I know as time goes you'll be fast if I'm slow and we'll find our tempo
'Cause we may never know how the story ends
But you and me will always be
These days everybody wants to find out how the story ends
So we say nothing is a possibility if you don't got your friends
And I know as time goes by we're never gonna pretend
'Cause you and me will always be friends
Yeah, you and me will always be friends

Of all life's treasuries
one is most preciously
kept in my heart
and that's the loyalty of friends
and family gathered 'round
and making joyous sounds
familiar voices warm the heart
I find myself alone and feelin' blue
then I know what to do
I phone my friends in melancholy
and then sometimes I'm filled with doubt
something will chase it out
it's having friends, their faith will win it out
the problems that we face
are easier to take when you have friends
to share the ways and how you knew
that they will share the load
and you can always go by day or night
you know that you're with folk, of course
I know that some of you
can't think of any who
you might call friend
but listen and I'll tell you that
you've heard it said before
and of it's truth i'm more
convinced that you have friends just be one
no thing comes even close
to what we treasure most

(Jerry Holland)
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
You made me take the goodbye note around
And that little girl, she cried and cried
She asked me if I knew exactly why you'd gone
I told a lie, 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 was it, who was it, who was it
Came for me when I was stranded in the bad man's land
Who was it, who was it, 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
I loved you then, I love you still
You know I think I always will

CHORUS
My friends have told me
It's all around me
The signs of you guys
Being there too
I know it might be
A little Crazy
It's true without it
You wouldn't be you
I miss the times when we were
About 10
We used to run around
Play around
It was happier then
I still know you guys now
But you're not the same
I used to like it when
Our lives were a game
REPEAT CHORUS
I've got some new friends
You'd really like them
I can't help but
Think about when
The games were over
Into a uniform
Still inside me
The thought of you is warm
I really miss you
Wanna hug and kiss you
REPEAT CHORUS
The time is messing up
I feel like dressing up
It makes it harder
To realize it
REPEAT CHORUS (X2)
I really miss you
Wanna hug and kiss you
It's me and you
Guys

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
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 a 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
Now that it's over
Now that we're the end
Can we start over
Back to when we were FRIENDS
Now...
Now...
WE CAN start over

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
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
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

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

We know each other for so long
That's why I'm writing you this song
Went to the same class once at school
Both looked in daddy's car so cool
You were my best friend, a better one than everyone
Simply best friends, that's what we were
Friends
Then our turning point has come
I was no longer number one
A sweet little girl, she took my place
And so she ended the good days
You were my best friend, a better one than everyone
Simply best friends, that's what we were
Friends
And all I wanna tell you now,
Is keeping close to friends somehow
If there is one who would do everything for you,
Don't put him on your number two
You were my best friend, a better one than everyone
Simply best friends, that's what we were

I never thought of leading
I've got my own machine
And I've paid my dues all along
All set for breakingWhen I missed those other people'Cause I knew that I was really alone
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and guys
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and guys
I saw my education
It was my indocrination
Just to be another parking machine
All my sense was breakingWhen I missed those other people'Cause I knew that I was not very clean
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and guys
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and guys
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and guys
Fall out
Fall out with all the leaders and guys
Fall out!

they tell us that our friends aren't important
because there's work to be done
but i'd rather be poor and live with my friends
than be rich and die all alone
the lust for money has turned people numb
their obsessions over power the fright
they don't even know or care what they've done
they'd kill if the price was right
but friends can work out their problems
and make the hard times quickly pass
a life full of pleasure and good times
a feeling of love that will last
a life without worry of power or greed
it's the only life we've got
there's much more to life than increasing it's speed
too precious to every be bought
and so you lost all your friends
because of this game
think you'll buy more later on,
but the friends that you bought
aren't even the same

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 travelers 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 every thing'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
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 every thing's all right
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

All my life I've been searching for something
Something i can't put my finger on
Maybe I've been living for the weekend
Maybe I've been living for this cyber soul
But every friday just about midnight
All my problems seem to disappear
Everyone that I miss when I'm distant
Everybody's here
I need love
Cause only love is true
I need every wakin' hour with you
And my friends cause they are so beautiful
Yeah my friends they are so beautiful
They're my friends
All my life i've been wastin', wastin'
Wastin' all my money
All my time
All the time i'm waitin', waitin'
Waitin for the moment you are mine
The song about yeah I'm thinkin', thinkin'
Thinkin all the things that I've done wrong
All the time yeah I was forgettin'
You were mine all along
I need love
Cause only love is true
I need every wakin' hour with you
And my friends cause they are so beautiful
Yeah my friends they are so beautiful
I need love
Cause only love is true
I need every wakin' hour with you
And my friends cause they are so beautiful
Yeah my friends they are so beautiful
They're my friends

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

[Tela]
Uhh, haha yeah, shit bangs, bang out the frame
My man Wayne, this shit right heah, this is somethin
I put it straight to ya so everybody can fuck with it
Niggaz, bitches, y'know, everybody
Little kids, everybody can relate to this, yeah
Now you been down with this hoe since the seventh and eighth
High school, night school, shit y'all was runnin mates
Same hustle, clocked your girl in when she was late
Side by side, boxed hoes when they called her fake
And that's your boo, that's your dawg, sister to the end
And when her folks kicked her out, shit you moved her straight in
Y'all used to hang so tight niggaz mistake you for twins
Names just alike, Carol and Carolyn
She would lie to you, steal from you, say she didn't take it
You knew she wasn't right but that's your girl you let her make it
Now who pulled her through when she needed her a portion
But who left yo' ass in the center of the ocean?
She fucked her cousin nigga and she fucked her nigga family
You never ever thought that she would fuck yo' baby daddy
Everybody tried to tell you but yo' ass wouldn't listen
And now this hoe done came up missin
but that's your motherfuckin friend
[Chorus]
Friends (my nigga), how many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends (yup), before we go any further
let's be friends .. (my motherfucker)
How many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends (y'all), the ones we can depend on
Let's be friends
[Tela]
This ya boy, this ya nigga, motherfuckin close dawg
And it ain't too many niggaz you can pass the ball
He never fumble, stay humble since you stumbled on him
Save you from drownin that summer when you thought you could swim
Used to run choo-choo trains on his homegirl Kim
For you, your man'd put his ass on the limb
Now he was slicker with them hoes and youse a funny-lookin nigga
Could only get that pussy when the money lookin nigga
He always got it first and you was second base
I guess this about the time we can establish the hate
Got his ass on quicker, started movin weight
Shit he showed you too much, that was the first mistake
With friends like you, tell me who needs problems?
Wanna set your man up, not to kill him, just rob him
But somewhere in yo' flag everything went bad
Mag hit him in the head, that's it, he's dead, he left your friend
[Chorus]
Friends (yup), how many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends (you my muh'fucker), before we go any further
let's be friends .. (my dawg)
How many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends (my nig-ga), the ones we can depend on
Let's be friends
[Tela]
Now you been sleepin with this muh'fucker every night
Pillow talk, shared your thoughts, shit just split your life
As they grew up in age they got stubborn and trife
Everybody else was wrong and they was always right
So quick to point the finger, instigatin the fight
I don't care if it was lovely they find somethin they don't like
Oh so dumb smart don't need no advice
Folks so dumb smart too bright to get the lights
You know the kind, don't hear, don't see it in the mirror
They dress it up with bullshit to make it appear clearer
With he say, she say, that's all they know
What did they do, where did they go, that's all they livin fo'
They wake up one mornin, they done missed the show
Countin up birthdays like where the fuck did time go?
Now look at the situation that you got yourself in
Sit self down and ask self, "Self, is you my motherfuckin friend?"
[Chorus]
Friends (yup), how many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends (cause you my muh'fucker), before we go any further
let's be friends .. (my nig-ga)
How many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends (my dawg), the ones we can depend on
Let's be friends (muh'fucker), how many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends, before we go any further
let's be friends .. (yup)
How many of us have them?
Fri-enn-ends (you my muh'fucker, my dawg, my nigga, my muh'fucker)
The ones we can depend on, let's be friends..

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
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
Erybody wanna be Pam Grier now, stare now
Wanna know what I wear now, peep the gear now, uhh
I swear now, I done killed that shit
Dangerous Na Na, niggaz feel my shit, 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
Convertible shit, leavin bitches real sick
Heard he liked to trick nonstop, floss a lot
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
The P.C. on some real to Newark shit
Recall, my whole fam jig the fuck up what?
Bet-ta chill, 'fore you slip the fuck up
Get your wig, split the fuck up, nigga lust
Dangerous, when three general niggaz bust
Infa-wear, but I sips Dom Pierre
Floss through the ave all them hoes wanna stare
Oh yeah? I'm up in your life, play you trife
Brook-lyn, bring it on nigga
Can you feel me baby? I been away a long time
Is it still me baby? The one on your mind
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?

This one right here, goes out to my real nigga Nate
My nigga Grey-D, out that Pud Park
Ride or die nigga, you know I'm saying
It's me and you, till the grave homie uh
[Z-Ro:]
I use to kick it with the people, I thought were friends
There was no envy or jealousy, cause ain't nobody have no ends
But only time would tell, true character traits
Cause the niggaz I figured to be real, turned out fake
I remember we smoked sherms, just to pass the time
Going hard as we did, no wonder some of us lost our mind
Cause you can't think straight, on that good gorilla piss
Especially by yourself, smoking five or six
Formaldehyde takes over the mind, can't you understand
If your partna go to tripping, remember he still your man
Heard my friend, pulled a pistol on my friend in the hood
Sobered up and apologized, 'sposed to been all good
Chilling all together again, walking side by side
Mr. Walker shot Mr. McCarly, bout eight or nine times
I ain't tripping, cause my nigga'z living better yet he's blessed
Half a calf muscle missing, shot everywhere but the neck
And the head but still breathing, what a story to tell
Now I get to see Mr. Walker, in Mr. State Jail
How the hell I'ma kick it with you nigga, you shot my G
With a friend like you, we don't need enemies
Trying to fall out of place, to explain his case
None of my cellies could feel it, that's why they violated your face
Tried to beef for me in the chow line, snuck up on me
Cause I ride for Grey-D, like he's my one and only homie
This is organized crime, when you fuck with me
Better prepare to tip toe, when you touch the streets
Hey, I'm not a killer but don't rush me
Cause I got a couple hundred motherfuckers, that won't let nobody touch me
I'm the Don now, but I remember the past
Ridgemont hardheads ride or die for eachother, quick to blast
Now it's come to this, all I ever wanted was peace
Never thought it be one of my own, trying to see me deceased
On top of that, when you balling you got too many friends
If it ain't no cheese they leave damn, was it me or my ends
Even women be getting in, where they fit
The love affair is so legit, until you come home and she done split with all your shit
That's why I'm so cold, towards people I meet
Because of something that was done to me, by less than a G
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
Z-Ro the Crooked know the key to survival, is fuck friends
[Hook:]
Friends, ain't no mystery why Z-Ro don't have them
Friends, ain't too many of em I can really depend on
Friends, ain't no mystery why Z-Ro don't have them
Friends, they might be the reason for my bloody murder

Bright light, almot blinding
Black night, still there shining
Can't stop keep on climbing
Looking for what I knew
Had a friend, he once told me
";You gotta love, you ain't lonely";
Now she's gone and lefft me only
Lookin' for what I knew
Ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh, ooh ahh, oh
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 oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ahhh
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

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you,
I 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 is 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 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:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord is 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

I met you and I stuttered in passion
Though slightly blinded by that ass

Every time you pass got me checkin for you hardcore
Staring and watchin, me and you one on one (see that)

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

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)

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)

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

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
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
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
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

Who brings you cups of coffee
Who picks you up
When you're in town
Whatever makes you happy
And I'm glad you're better now
But I'm sad you're not around
Friends

Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence

Who wakes you up
When you're late for work
Who makes the bed so lovely
Who found your sock
Who picked your shirt
Whatever makes you love me
And I'm glad I'm better now
But I'm sad you're not around
Friends
Will never desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence

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

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..

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
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 bulshit
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
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
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

You know friends are never earned they are a gift from the loving God
They're precious beyond human evaluation
You dare not take them for granted it or they'll drift away like smoke
And the warmth of there caring will vanish into the chill of the endless night
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town some where
Where nothing much ever happens
But some of my friends are big people
They are famous sensitive and talented
Their names are household words
And yet they are no more precious in God's eyes or in mine
Then those wonderful nobodies who live and die in obscurity
Who is your friend?
He's someone who warns you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times
When you are hurting beyond words
She'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 clinks a 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 your not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes in all shapes and sizes
The most important thing they have in common is
Their ability to share with you your most sky splitting joys
Or your' deepest most awesome sorrows
I think of all the things I have in this world

Don't let it go

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

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, altho' 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,

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?
Friends
Ones we can depend on
Friends
How many of us have them?

Before we go any further, let's be

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?

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

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

You gave up at the start,
You know you’re better than that,
And I’m not buying into the words
That fall out of your mouth,
Can you still remember the long rides home
When friendship meant everything?
It seemed like everyday
We’d bounce off the walls,
Can’t we pick up where we left
Off instead of wasting time?
I know I’ve got a million things to say,
I’ve always (I’ve always)
Got your back no matter what you put me through,
(I’ll be there for you)
And with luck (And with luck)
On our side we may just make it out of here all right.
So lets start it all over,
And tell me what you thought
When life pitched you a curve ball
And finally struck your ass out,
You left home and you told me that
You were done with everything,
That life was cruel and now you’ve given up your
dreams.
I’ve always (I’ve always)
Got your back no matter what you put me through,
(I’ll be there for you)
And when you (And when you)
Finally get back home your luck will change some how,
Some way, some how.
I’ve got everything I’ve ever wanted and now
I’ll give it all to you if it can make you smile.
I’ve always (I’ve always)
Got your back no matter what you put me through,
(I’ll be there for you)
I’ve always (I’ve always)
Got your back no matter what you put me through,
(I’ll be there for you)
It’s hard to find the words to say,
The bonds we break, the friend’s we’ve made.

Talking shit is so easy to do, I guess I'm rubber you're a fool, Telling lies to be a part of the drama, I guess you're not so cool, not so cool are ya? I know who my friends are, At least, I know so far, Your twisted rumors can't change anything, Nothing can come between me and my friends. You're the last one left, The class bell is ringing, We can't hear you because we're too busy singing. I know who my friends are, At least, I know so far.

[Verse 1]
I was walking down the street, Adidas on my feet
This kid started sweating and it wasn't from the heat
Started getting real loud, attracting a crowd
His boys were all around so i guess it made him proud
He kept advancing, and his friends did the same
I told the kid that i didn't even know his name
But this kid, kept saying what I did
And he was real thick just finished his bid
He had about 15 of his sons on his side
I only had one friend and that was my pride
I figured if I hit this kid in the face for talking
They'd break both my legs and I wouldn't be walking
I'm contemplating this is the situation I'm hating
Pretty son my face and the ground will be relating
Just then, I looked around them and saw 20 men
Heading my direction surrounding
Hell yeah, my whole teams coming for me
And my team will blow their team out of the category
Since I saw all my friends approaching the place
I, spit on the bitch and punched him in the face
Then his whole crew, beat me black and blue
My face had contact with everybody's shoe
All my friends stood around watching it happen
Nobody even made a slight effort of attacking
I could not believe it, I thought I had friends
It turns out they were really cowards in the end
(Chorus)
I thought you had my back
When I'm under attack
Didn't happen like that
Where's my real friends at
They all turned out to be soft in the end
I guess i was betrayed
"I thought you were my friend"
[Verse 2]
I was fucking with this girl, and everybody knew it
My Dick she always blew it get it get it go to it
And that's what I did, and that's how it went down
Little did I know that on the other side of town
She was dating this guy, by the name of Big Tie
Rumor has it that the man stood 10 feet high
One day, she called and said come play
So I brought 10 friends and try to help them get laid
We went to her apartment and everything was all right
She started stripping for us not a problem in sight
But just then, Big Tie bust in
His girl was blushing, and I was flushed then
Tie had about 5 men with him
Since I had all 10 let the battle begin
Before a fight broke out, my friends broke out
They said "All right man, we'll catch you later kid no doubt"
They ignored my friends and jumped all on me
I was out for the count and really bloody
They were very hostile, I woke up in the hospital
I was told every bone in my body was broke a little
All my friends that ran, as fast as they could
Just like little bitches and it wasn't understood
They came in the room saying get well good luck
I told them get out of here, and shut the fuck up
I could not believe it, i thought i had friends
It turns out that they were really cowards in the end
(Chorus)
[Verse 3]
Once upon a time on a very nice day
I was playing ball on the court around the way
We got them and started everything was going great
I had 7 friends and this kid had 8
This one one kid kept on fouling my man
I said please don't do that shit, understand
Then he said all right and laid back low
Next thing you know my man caught an elbow
I said "Damn son should have listened to the prophet"
He said "I'm gonna do it again, you gonna stop it"
I looked at my team, then back on him
I figured now's about the time to let the beating begin
I waited for a second, nobody made a move
I'm thinking if a fight breaks out what will it prove?
Before I had time to let the beef cook
Out of no where I caught a left and a right hook
I was still standing, started throwing fist back
Lots of blood flying and lots of contact
I let go, only had 2 fists to throw
Suddenly 16 fists coming, "Oh no"
I looked at my friends as I started to fall
All I heard was, "Lets go grab the ball"
I woke up later stuck to the concrete
The blood was all dry, guess I met my defeat
I could not believe it, I thought I had friends
Turns out they all cowards in the end

[Chorus 1 - Sample]
[Verse 1 - JR. Gong]
These later days in Babylon

And the years them carry on

Still I send them go to school

Some real millionaires see that's ill
Cause look at statistics
Real millionaires

Who would roll with ya'll
Bunch a fucking know it alls
Who's dough is small
Look what's it come to
Our rapport's good no more
We was good before
Till I saw what type a dude you took me for
We had a chance to take paper down
What I took was more
Because of hatred
Opportunity wasted
[Chorus 3 - JR. Gong]
Your real friends will serve you long
Your car and clothes will fade
Your real friend wont do you wrong
Real friend don't change Eh

May laughter
From backstabbers
Turn to tears faster
I wish for you
No snake shall slither past ya

Keep your vision clear
Cause only a coward lives in fear
My surroundings
Got only real powerful niggaz here
Real men we have a code of ethics
No question
No jealousies
No feminine tendencies

No gossip
No phony logic
No counting your homey pocket
Spare no expense for legal defense
If your homey locked up
No keeping tabs
On who was the last who looked out
Selfishness
That's a character flaw
No holding out
Yo what happened to the honor?
You're dealing with
Sensitive Pre-Madonna drama
Teflon love
For my dudes who solid
[Chorus 5 - JR. Gong]
Your real friends will serve you long

Or emptily
With arm in arms
We'll all trod on
Through destiny

Respect is due
They care for me
Should I be down
Or even out
They're next to me
[Chorus Out - JR. Gong]
Your real friends will serve you long
Your memories might fade

Sunshine or rain, hey
Your real friends will serve you long, woe ya woe
When all else fails
Real friends won't do you wrong
Real friend don't change
Real friend don't change
Real friend don't change

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
Cause there ain't nobody, no
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
I hope my friend will always be there while I grow old
Lovers they come and go
Like ships to a dock, a bunch of heartbreakers 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
Cause there ain't nobody, no
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
I hope my 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

Get get your ass up (yeah)

On the other side is paradise so get fed
Through the love my friends'll get fed
So lift your glasses high up to the sky
This is for my friends who's time have passed by
So we're lifting our voices up to the sky
Bringing home one love I got to get by
Grab hold the song or just roll and ride
So lift your glasses high up to the sky
So get your ass up (yeah)

There is no one here beside me
And my problems have all gone
There is no one to deride me
But you got to have friends
The feeling's oh, so strong
You got to have friends
To make that day last long
I had some friends but they're gone
Somethin' came and took them away
And from the dusk 'til the dawn
Here is where I'll stay
Standing at the end of the road, boys
Waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or poor
I'm gonna get me some of them
'Cause you got to have friends

That's right you, oh you, yeah you
I said, you gotta have some friends
I'm talkin' about friends, that's right, friends
Friends, friends, friends
I had some friends, oh, but they're all gone, gone
Someone came and snatched them away
And from the dusk until the very dawn, you know
Here is where I gotta stay, here is where I gotta stay
And I'm standing at the end of a real long road
And I'm waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or freezin' cold
I'm gonna get me some of them
'Cause you gotta have friends
That's right, friends, friends
I gotta me my, I gotta me my, I gotta me my
Look around and see all of my friends
Oh, friends, that's right, friends, friends
Friends, friends, friends, friends, oh

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
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

Night, darkness of night
I've got a friend I'm turning to
Stay beside me now
Though night and day might slip away
Always with you, there I will be
Where you might go, I'll be there too
I have in you such a good friend
I have in you such a good friend
Days, numbers of days
Giving us now, love in this day
Life, all of my life
I've got a friend I'm turning to
Always with you, there I will be
Where you might go, I'll be there, too
I have in you such a good friend

He was quiet, he was shy A stay-at-home sort of guy Someone you'd trust your sister with Had a twinkle in his eye Yet they say he was psychotic They say psychotically disturbed He was mentally unbalanced, a schizophrenic mass murderer with severe personality disorders They used their jargonistic words So he killed and mutilated Served his victim on a tray But Jeffrey Dahmer was my friend, okay? Tuesday nights we'd go out bowling And he'd blow those pins to hell He'd watch what he'd eat And it watched him as well Friends, friends We can all be friends If we just let the little hurt Between us mend I met him at the circus He was hiding in the dark Pulling funny faces Making people laugh They say he was a freak They say genetically deformed Should have sold his body to science The minute he was born But he'd just smile and say, "[slurp] You've all been very kind." Yes, yes, John Merrick, the Elephant Man Was a friend of mine We'd all go out on blind dates Hessian bags over our heads We never slept like normal kids We'd sit straight up in bed Friends, friends We can all be friends If we just let the little hurt Between us mend He was a painter, quite artistic He had that suave panache A tasteful brown shirt And a cute toothbrush moustache Yeah, he loved his German Shepherd Walking by the babbling brook Watching blond haired, blue eyed children Setting fire to books Yet they say he was a monster Rhe leader of the Reich But Adolf Hitler he was my friend, alright? He loved to go out dancing, Really dug the human league And that song by Alice Cooper, "Only Women Bleed" Friends, friends We can all be friends If we just let the little hurt Between us mend Friends - He murdered 17 million of the bourgeoisie But Joseph Stalin was a friend to me! Friends - Some say he shot the president - is that crime? Lee Harvey Oswald was a friend of mine Friends - He pillaged, was the scourge of Eastern Europe But Ghangis Khan was my good rocking buddy! Friends - She's cute, sort of awkward, her closes barely fit her But Myra Henley was my baby-sitter Friends - Charlie Manson never killed Sharon Tate He's "Lucky Chucky" to his mates Friends - David Koresh never died in that fire He's our friend, our buddy, our messiah Friends - Jack the Ripper gave his heart to me Friends - Idiah Min and I played quoits Friends - Margaret Thatcher was a pitcher, not a catcher Friends - Pol Pot was a friend of mine Friends - Noriega was a friend of mine Friends - Ceaucesu was a friend of mine Friends - Pinochet was a friend of mine Friends - Michael Jackson was a friend of mine... Come on, boys, can't we love one another? Even Oedipus had a mother Friends, friends We can all be friends If we just let the little hurt Between us mend Friends, friends We can all be friends If we just let the little hurt Between us mend

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
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
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

[Verse 1: jeru]
Friends is a word that I use loosely
Because you never know who these people may be
Some you just miss them, you know from way back
When you used to dig brock and snatch chains and sell crack
Rollin every day, getting high-er than a ball
But when you play them too close they'll be your downfall
Fast going to the picture, many things have changed
Now the same old friends start acting strange
You probably, fox with me
You even pop shots with me
But now you hissing like a snake so friends turn enemy
And it really dont matter what you've been through
Cause your friend will fuck your bitch and put a bullet in you
Sleep in your bed, drive your car, spend your ends
But these are the people that we call friends
[Chorus:]
Friends
How many of us have them
I have none
Thought I had one
Friends
How many of us have them
Thought I had one
But I have none
Friends, friends
[Verse 2: jeru]
I re-member, we started out together
Back then I said yo we be down forever
I always thought I was a brother to you
We were friends, tight, like the Awesome two
But now look whats happened to you
Putting your trust in the shady individuals
And get screwed, still I hope you fine
Sometimes you cross my mind
Constantly reminded by the sword marks on my spine
They say all wounds heal in time but not mine
Nightmares of my friends creeping up from behind
Bloody murder, while the crimes un-solved
A friends a friend until loot is involved
Sell you out, for a house and a job
And spit on your grave in the end, but
These are the people that we call friends
Friends
[Verse 3: Afu Ra]
First things first
Stop the jealousy and envy
I depend on minds, offkey, to fool enemies
Like your homeboy with your wifey
You cant believe it
Seeing is one thing
But hearing its some shit
Every which way she dip
Every thought was unpleasent
I got, carried away, did you free OJ
Cause I want her ???
I heard she did tricks
Like Vanessa suck your dick
On sunset strip
And my man flip
Like see low dice on six
We used to sell crack
And do sticks for bricks
Bustin shots at all, other criminals care
But they scared to do a mother fucking bid
Listen
Now we rock
Got a block thats hot
Like b-boys on the block thats got all watch
Dont get knocked, that my man
He had me here
Could this be my hollow saying your my fam
But damn, you should have used kung-fu
A .22 or some type of voodoo
To snatch out my heart

(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

Friends ringtone on your mobile phone
Do you remember when
We used to trace our names
And our hearts in the sand
We called it games
Yes I remember then
We never called love
This feeling higher than
The sky above
Than the sky above
We will be good friends forever
I'll stand by your side no matter
Sometimes I feel how much I care for you
We will be good friends forever
Nothing has change, I wonder
I always knew how much I meant to you
Do you still feel the same
For me since that sweet time
Who has to take the blame
For our names rhyme
Yes I do feel the flame
And it burns even more
When I still read your name
On the shore
Your name on the shore
We will be good friends forever
I'll stand by your side no matter
Sometimes I feel how much I care for you
We will be good friends forever
Nothing has change, I wonder
I always knew how much I meant to you
Nothing will change
If we just kiss
Like brother and sister
Caus' what we've got
Isn't it bliss
Nothing will change
We'll stay like this
Like brother and sister
Because if not
We would miss
Miss each other
We will be good friends forever
I'll stand by your side no matter
Sometimes I feel how much I care for you
We will be good friends forever
Nothing has change, I wonder

Grandmama always used to say, flip, yo tongue fall out
So I ain't trip if we ain't hang out
Then we flipped and wouldn't hang out
Word from mutual friends when you speak it's fuck me comin' out cha mouth
Fuck me? Nigga, fuck you
But damn I was the man whenever bills was overdue(shit)
Got my deal, I ain't even tripped once
I was da new mc hammer take ya niggas to lunch
Help homies, give them money when they caught in the crush
But what's funny were out of money and you ain't called me once
Now my childhood friends turned to childish ass men
Mad cause I ain't broke and fucked up like them
With thirty five kids and a dead end job
Trying to throw up yo trip like the shit my prob (na)
Now they mad they wanna hate on my shine
Who needs enemies when I got friends like mine
[Chorus:]
Had yo back but you didn't have mine
Act like you didn't now me half the time
Can't believe this now I see it that intention is not worth it
Smile in my face then stab me in the back
True homeboys don't get down like that
But you see seasons changes
Love changes
Best friends become strangers
Ain't you happy for me that I made it in rap
You rather see me join the army and get killed in iraq(damn)
You'll be glad if I died
Cause accuse you when I pass by in dat fancy ass ride
With a fine ass chick in the passenger side
You in some dusty ass honda and yo fat bitch ride
I remember my 85 maxima
You niggas filled it up but rarely ever put gas in a'
Early morning saw you niggas was weak
I did all the hard work putting down in the streets
Made all the contacts through yo time in the beach
Youd just come write a verse and kick up yo feet
I got the rumor going around that you made me
And I used you, nigga you crazy
Now before my homies hating saying bishop is wack
But bishop is signed, wheres your contract?
[Chorus:]
Had yo back but you didn't have mine
Act like you didn't now me half the time
Can't believe this now I see it that intention is not worth it
Smile in my face then stab me in the back
True homeboys don't get down like that
But you see seasons changes
Love changes
Best friends become strangers
You know wats funny to me, but it's sad though
This rap shit can turn yo friends into some assholes
And bitch niggas, yea they might be rocking panty hoes
You better check them, they can hide them under normal clothes
And out west a lot of rappers say they so hood
Yeah right more like west hollywood
And it's a small world I know most of these dudes
A few I consider friends but most I consider fools
Fools that think I'm fooling with the liars that tries to
Disguises they decide to use
But I am not amused
Gypsy ass rappers steady dick hopping crews
Wondering around kaniving on however they can use
Carli simmons you think this songs about you
But it's too many to name so just fuck all you
Hit begin with pain I end it with laughter
Now I see why pac made I ain't mad at you
[Chorus:]
Had yo back but you didn't have mine
Act like you didn't now me half the time
Can't believe this now I see it that intention is not worth it
Smile in my face then stab me in the back
True homeboys don't get down like that
But you see seasons changes
Love changes

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...

(Mike Monroe, Hanoi Rocks)
I know a man
back in Japan
Backyard Babies
is his favorite band
(Joey Ramone, Ramones)
I got a friend
but they won't let him in
His name is Ben
He's gone to hell
- Cause there is nothing
that touches me the way they do
and all the lies, you've been hearin' baby
that touches me they way they do
they're all true
Nothing touches me the way these people do
- Cause there is nothin'
(Danko Jones)
I got a friend
Her name is Grace
When we broke up
it put a smile on my face
(Tyla, Dogs D'Amour)
that I love
And there's a girl
Sadly she resides in
heaven up above
- Cause there is nothing
and all the lies, you've been hearin' baby
that touches me the way they do
- Cause there is nothin'
they're all true
that touches me they way they do
Nothing touches me the way these people do
Look at all these lonely people
But they can not die
They're born to lose
I love my friend
(Nina Persson, Cardigans)
He doesn't know me
My only friend
(Kory Clarke)
But his word is my command
We meet our friends
Down at the bar

To all of my friends who mind me now more than ever
Whether you’re a pal or a gal I’ll be your friend till the end and forever
Whether you’re a friend or a foe or somebody that I’ve yet to know
I want to say I’m sorry for everything I couldn’t be
And I’ve been searching high and low
for a place that I call home
and there’s still no where to go
I will not dwell on things that held me back of all of these years
I put myself before everyone else that I loved and I’m going to make it up to you
I’ve been wasting all my days thinking about tomorrow
and not spending enough time trying to fix my problems
so tell me where do I go from here, tell me where do I run,
tell me where do I lay my head for some closure
And I’ve been searching high and low
for a place that I call home
But there’s still no where to go
I will not dwell on things that held me back all these years
I put myself before everyone else that I love and I’m going to make it up to you
And I’ve been searching high and low
for a placed that I call home
But there’s still nowhere to go
And I’ve searched coast to coast
and the only thing that seems to ease my soul
is when I look up

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...

I had a friend who had friends by a river
They too had friends who had friends of their own
All seated round takin' port after dinner,
Port that was bought by the friends that were known
No one ever seems to care
Just as long as they were there
Friends beside you
Friends to guide you
Friends beside you, everywhere
There's nothing new, it's all there to remind you
It's no different anyway you recall
You only wait around and float on every corner
And know you're in luck
'Cause you know them more
No one ever seems to care
Just as long as you are there
Friends beside you ( beside you)
There to guide you (to guide you)
Friends beside you (beside you)
Everywhere (everywhere)
We all have friends who have friends by a river
We too have friends who have friends of their own
All seated round drinkin' port after dinner
Port that is bought by the friends for their own
No one ever seems to care
Just as long as you are there
Friends beside you
Friends to guide you
Friends beside you to stay
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you know you need)
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you really need)
Friends beside you (you need)
Friends to guide you (you need)

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke
your love life's D.O.A
2-It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your year
1-I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me, too
You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast
So far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world
Has brought you down to your knees
(repeat 1)
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you

Conversations take to long
All you say is wrong
Your paranoid and shit
I'll take no more of it
Maybe I'm the same
I could be me to blame
You justify your need
With every lie you bleed
All my friends are lying
All my friends are dying
Your theories make me ill
I wish you'd just sit still
You satisfy your need
With every lie you bleed
I gave you a hit
We share more of it
Maybe I will drown
It's me who brought you down
All my friends are lying
All my friends are dying
You used to be my friend
I think that's gonna end
How long can I try
I'm scared your gonna die
Maybe I will drown
It's me who brought you down
All my friends are lying down

You're a mess
Your life's off track but your heart beats still
And you push away like I know you will
You go through the motions and lose motivation
You're lost and exhausted but wont stop fighting
You think that you're right but inside you're hiding it
I'm on your side and I'll fight and I won't stop, I never will
(Baby I can't wait forever, you cant stay forever we cant wait or stay the same)
This is the last thing that I'll ever say
I'll be there when the world falls down
And all your friends are gone forever
We've all moved on
We've gone our separate ways
But you were way to cool for us
But who needs us now
You're lost and exhausted but wont stop fighting
You think that you're right but inside you're hiding it
I'm on your side and I'll fight and I won't stop, I never will
(Baby I can't wait forever, you cant stay forever we cant wait or stay the same)
This is the last thing that I'll ever say
I'll be there when the world falls down
And all your friends are gone forever [x2]
Torn apart
Live alone everyday a mile away
And I don't wanna be alone again
When you're gone, gone when you're gone
Torn apart
Live alone everyday a mile away
And I don't wanna be alone again
When you're gone, you're gone
Oh my God their gone
This is the last thing that I'll ever say
I'll be there when the world falls down

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 like that
I know someday it's gonna end
And when you, you can go
Bet you miss your friends
As angry as a breeze
Tugging hard upon the sails
I've been movin' through these streets forever
From Baltimore to Amsterdam
These things inside me they repeat like broken records
Spinnin' pretty somethin' behind my eyes
And when I can't look at you
I can paint your picture perfectly in my mind
And when I hear it all
I'm gonna miss you all the time
Bad wind up in the trees
Scattering blue birds all over the place
Shuffling children in the parks leave
I wish I was the wind that touched your face
This afternoon with you was something like a letter
The kind that someone writes but never sends
And when you're good to me
It makes me blue because someday it's gonna end
And when we pass on
I bet you miss your friends
Bet you miss your friends

[Intro:]
Everybody needs a friend [x2]
One who won't pretend [x2]
A friend to the end [x2]
Trinidad and Tobago to Jamaica, Choc'late Queen Ifrica
Everybody needs a friend [x2]
One who won't pretend [x2]
A friend to the end [x2]
A once in a lifetime
[Chorus:]
I'm looking for a friend
A friend who won't pretend
A friend to last the end of a lifetime
Friend, everybody needs a friend
On whom you can depend
A friendship to last the end of a lifetime
[Verse: Choc'late]
I need a friend that I can trust
Sharing secrets is a must
And when together there's no fuss
That's a friend
Us, nobody could ever come between
When down, each other's shoulders, we can lean
A friend that will always be there for me
To climb every mountain and swim any sea
[Chorus]
[Verse: Queen Ifrica]
Is there anyone to take away the pain I feel?
Will I ever get to eat a decent meal?
All my life I've been trotting alone
Would you lend me your room?
I need a place to rest my bones
I wish I had a family
Is there any hope for me?
Take a chance and open the doors to your heart
Let me in, let's begin
Tell dem nuh Choc'late
[Verse: Choc'late]
I need a friend who is sincere
Whose heart is filled with love and care
One, who is always there,
That's a friend
When we sitting by de' bay, all chubby, chubby
You know that I'm feeling extra lucky
That I have a friend who understands, one I can relate to
Growing up together talking bout' the things we've been through
[Chorus]
[Verse: Queen Ifrica]
Catch me when I fall
Answer to my call
Never let me down
Say you're always gonna be around
Take my hand, friendship begins
Good to show love, that's what the father told us
Never turn your back on someone when they need you the most
Alays remember to be, as loving and caring as youcan be
[Bridge: Choc'late]
Us, nobody could ever come between
When down each other's shoulders, we can lean
A friend that will always be there for me
To climb every mountain and swim any sea

Just sit yourself down friend
Pull up a chair friend
There aint 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
Dont you think it tastes fine
Tear you away friend
On a planet to space friend

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

[Hook:]
I can see through your bullshit
Running in the air, and I don't really care (cause)
All I need...
Is real people, and real music and real people
And no I don't want new friends
Cause I don't wanna feel like I have to pretend
(It's all I need)
Is real people, and real music and real people
Sorry this ain't back pack, Sorry this ain't frat rap
This might seem abstract
All I got are sick lines it's Anthrax on amtrak
We about win I said
Where the fuck those hands at?
Your girl and friends?
I don't know what do with em
No one taken our lane
See we Drivin drunk taken up two of em
I didn't move to Brooklyn to be a hipster
I moved to Brooklyn to see the big the picture
It's only when you leave, that's when they wanna miss ya
But when your there for 'em, all they wanna do is diss ya
And never call you again, if you don't deliver
So let's sip the elixir
Call the waitress over and tip her
Don't hit me on twitter
When you see me getting bigger
I don't any friends,
All I want are those figures
See the thing is, they all just imitating
But down the road their Fuckin themselves,
It's masturbation
They ain't real, they ain't real - see It's only entertainment
They ain't in the streets
If they're backs laying on the pavement
Talkin shit, it ain't me - But I do it on occasion
Cockin back and I'm aiming At all y'all who's lamin
Claimin fame goin down the drain
Man, You ain't shit
You a dame, only a stain see me I'm the shit
[Hook:]
I can see through your bullshit
Running in the air, and I don't really care (cause)
All I need...
Is real people, and real music and real people
And no I don't want new friends
Cause I don't wanna feel like I have to pretend
(It's all I need)
Is real people, and real music and real people
They say, Cuey Mr. OnCue
You smooth as a silk
Meanwhile drinkin black coffee
Cause I can't afford no milk
They shootin, don't sweat it
Your a pimp
But the only thing In my pockets
Is wrappers and lint
Nah... she couldn't do it
Neither could she
Neither could this jager
Neither could this weed
Every weekend I'd rage
Wake up sunday
Face minimum wage
Shit I need to get paid
Last night I got laid
But what did it do for me?
Except, I don't gotta clikc on youporn this morning
I'm torn in between tourin
And dormin... sourin... to the top
My dad always said quit hugging the pot!
This whole time I wasn't bitin'
I was writin for the enlightened
So when you smell my shit, is when I'm a start wipin
Can you tell these other rappers
I'm a fuck the game backwards
Go ahead pigeon hole me
Homie you don't even know me
You ain't competition you a cronie
Of a bum, mama look what I've become
They googlin me like crack heads, look at your son!
So stop with the comparisons
Don't know
Look Sarah Palin an
I realized these rappers suck they own dick
Manson, Marilyn
Your girls doing my work at the Sheridan
Nah I ain't trying to be arrogant
I got soul in me, it's been apparent since
They wanna buy me out like Merrill Lynch
Nah I ain't forfitting a some flowers and a coffin in a hurst
Would be more fitting than this white collar ball licking
Wake up and look at the life we're all living
You can't trust no one
Any more than you could throw em
Watch me Crash down as I'm a move up on the totem
Nah I don't know 'em you sure you told'em

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 You 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 You Endeared You

So good to watch my friends dreaming their lives away
So good to watch my friends dreaming all through the day
If I could take them with me, well, you know I would
If I could show them all the things that I've seen, I wish I could
So sad to watch my friends growing older
So sad to watch my friends growing colder
If I could give them all some sunshine, you know I would
If I could take them all to Monterrey, I wish I could
So sad to watch my friends as they watch me
So sad to hear them talking about the things that used to be
One day perhaps I will buy myself a big boat
And take all my friends away
Maybe one day I will buy myself an island
And there with my friends you know I'll stay.
So long, old buddies, I'm going away
So long, old buddies, I'm leaving today
But don't forget all the things that we will do
And I know you'll spare a thought for me

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,

I've known you a long long time
And you say you're a friend of mine
But you're the malignant kind, aren't you?
I've told you I'm on your side
I'm here for you all the time
Yet you can't make your eyes meet mine, can you?
That you can't look me in the eye
I can live with
That you're acting like a child
I can live with
But that all you seem to do when I'm around is cross your arms and wear a frown
You're a man why can't you act like one
Your lips are thin and your eyes look tired
What's eating you up inside
I think that you'd like to hide from you
I look at you and my eyes stay dry
Cause I've been through this many times
Now I'm cold to the world unwise of you
That you can't look me in the eye
I can live with
That you're acting like a child
I can live with
But that all you seem to do when I'm around is cross your arms and wear a frown
You're a man why can't you act like one
But that all you seem to do when I'm around
But that all you seem to do when I'm around
But that all you seem to do when I'm around is cross your arms and wear a frown

Beneficial wars
Black company cars
Two thirty years old [?]
Compared to your scars [?]
Foreign Politics
Middle aged kicks
Wave your flags, wave your dicks
Farewell, world ends
Couldn't care less, I'm watching Friends
Farewell, world ends
Couldn't care less, I'm watching Friends
I'm watching Friends
I'm watching Friends
Cuban Cigars,
English speaking are starting machines, Lending Mars
Devour everything, without a feeling
I'm happy with my tender bill
Farewell, world ends
Couldn't care less, I'm watching Friends
Farewell, world ends
Couldn't care less, I'm watching Friends
I'm watching Friends
The world ends
I'm watching Friends
The world ends

I'm staring at the front door in my coat
It's kinda rainy, I've a feeling 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 conversation 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 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 conversation 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 twenty minutes later
I'm in a taxi heading home
And Richard Burton's on a Benderz
Trying to get back home
He's never been so many miles
From back where he comes from
He must be twenty 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 conversation 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

Friends
Feat. Eric B. & Rakim
Have you ever been stabbed in the back
By someone you thought was really cool
Did they steal your lover or was it money
Or was it lies they told
Strangers just disguise as your friends
Never again cause now you know
Friends will let you down
Friends won’t be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends
Friends are hard to find
Friends yours and mine
I’m talking about your friends
Smiles they hide behind
Never know what’s on their mind
Could be true deception
Jealousy and envy reign
Never want to see you get ahead
They just hold you back
Friends will let you down
Friends won’t be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends
Friends are hard to find
Friends yours and mine
I’m talking about your friends
(Rakim Rap)
You used to kiss me and tell me you miss me
But now you try to glaze me, play me, and diss me
I’m wide awake, ready to break so we’d argue
What happened to the kisses and the “Ra, how are you?”
Forgot about the times when I rhymed when I bathed you
Dreams was the only little things that I gave you
Still ain’t thankful, you still complaining
Used to be a quiet storm, but now it’s raining
Harder than ever I’m thinking whether
If we should be friends, let it end
Is it better to forget or remember your body’s tender?
The vibe that I send her makes her surrender
The feelings of capture caught in a rapture
No woman can match you, so when I’m looking at you
Paint a perfect picture so you can remember me
But you could find the end if you pretend to be
Friends will let you down
Friends won’t be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends
Friends are hard to find
Friends yours and mine
I’m talking about your friends
They say they’ll be with you
Through all times of thick and thin
A shoulder to rely on
On the days that life gets rough
There to wipe your tears away
From that new heart break
But when it happens
You can’t find them
Where are your friends
(Eric B. Rap)
Friends are hard to find, so be careful
You can find them and to remind and they’ll pay you
But some ain’t that bad, but one might back stab
To get their fingertips on what one might have
Bite the hand that feeds you; leave the people who need you
For those who hold you back and mislead you
So be a leader, don’t get lead on
Or lead in a wrong direction, a dead end’s, next end
You need a detour; life’s like a seesaw
Up’s and down’s and I’ll bet there will be more
Potholes and obstacles in the path, that’s righteous
At times you need a hand to fight this way of life
Straighten up, take the door and replace it
And don’t you act “two-face” it
Cause jealousy and envy and you still act friendly

But right now
There's cameras at the back
Between the clubs and the cab
And you've looked better man
The night drowned
And I just couldn't keep up
I heard you're laughing and stopped
Then turned round round
The best thing, yeah that could happen today is
I won't be in the place that I was yesterday
The phone ring, this time it's worse than I thought
She thought my feelings were hurt but I couldn't have
cared less
I got friends and they talking to me on a mobile phone
I got friends and they're waiting for me I am not alone
And how long must I wait til you come back again
We should not be apart one second more
So just wait, on second thoughts its ok why did you
leave anyway
Can't remember today
So come back I got a feeling bout this
Together we'll put a brick through this social
windshield
I got friends and they talking to me on a mobile phone
I got friends and they're waiting for me I am not alone
And how long must I wait til you come back again
We should not be apart one second more
I've got friends
I've got friends
I've got friends of my own
I've got friends
I've got friends

Friends, you gotta have friends
Friends, you gotta have friends
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 going 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
Well I don't care if I'm hungry or cold
I got to get me some
Talking about friends
Miles and miles and miles of friends
Lot and lots and lots of friends
You got to have friends
Talking 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 till 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 hunger or freezing cold
I got to get me some of them
Talking about friends
You got to have friends
You know you get yours I'll get mine
I got to baby
Talking bout friends
Miles and miles and miles of friends
Lots and lots and lots of friends
You got to have friends
Talking bout friends
Miles and miles and miles and miles of friends
Friend, friends, friends, friends, friends
You got to have friends
Talking bout friends

I saw this girl from like around the way
I told her I was the B I Z Emezah A
She said she know my reputation, know I got clout
And like to get to know me without no doubt
So we started havin' long telephone conversations
Tryin' to feel each other out, showin' a lot of patience
Was a hook-up from my man, word bond she was bad
If I met her whole family I would kiss her dad
So in my mind I was thinkin' she really likes me
She got a good head on her shoulder and she's no dummy
Me and her had compatible horoscopes
But she bugged me out, so bad I was on the ropes
Now when I was with her, my shoulders shrugged
Because when I reached out for a kiss and hug
She mushed me in my face and smiled with a grin
And said this question
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
I knew she was different, a very special gal
For the time being, I shall respect her wishes
She wasn't a groupie I understand, she said she just had met me
I liked her for that, a woman with morals
She called me every day, so I saw she was loyal
It bugged me out 'cause I don't usually wait
But on a scale of one to ten, she was a twenty-eight
We was goin' out on the reg', movies and dinner
Always stay at my house, way past ten o' clock
I thought she really really liked me
I did the right thing like my name was Spike Lee
She had her own car, so I walked her to the door
Like Busta Rhymes, I said, "Gimme some more"
So I put my lips out to get a kiss and she said just like this
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
I knew somethin' was wrong because my mack is correct
Talkin' for six months and didn't hit it yet
I thought I was slippin' or maybe in a slump
I felt like Eddie Murphy when he was Professor Klump
No, it can't be, she's here every day
So I don't know why she'd wanna treat me this way
I gotta investigate like Magnum P.I.
I just don't understand why, oh, why
So the next time I saw her, she was unhappy
She had a frown on her face and real jumpy
I said, "Yo what's wrong?" I was real concerned
The way she looked her life had took a real turn
She said, "I went to court today," and I said, "What?"
"If I tell you this, you're gonna go nut"
I said, "Tell me, I can take it, I won't pretend"
"I gotta go to jail for life, so"
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Oh what a wonderful world this could be
If we all opened up our eyes to see
That love is what we all need right now
Then we all could come together some way somehow
My door is open wide, no matter who you are
You can come get warm inside
Cuz I need you, just as you need me,
And there's a way to show it, oh love is the key
It may take some time, but we can start by being kind,
To our neighbors in each and every land
And hope that in return they would be concerned
About the life of each and every man
Chorus
Oh on my honor, I see every man as my brother,
And together we can find the hope that's buried deep
within
If we put away our differences and let's all be friends
Life can be beautiful when someone gives their love to
For no special reason, and nothin' in return
If we all tried to love like that,
Soon the whole world will learn
It may take some time, but we can start by being kind,
To our neighbors in each and every land
And hope that in return they would be concerned

When I first saw you
I never thought I would love you
At all, or at least as I do now
I don’t know when it happened or how
When we were best friends, all we did was hang out, laugh, and joke
Never did I stutter, or choke
Until just this year, I don’t know why
I became extremely shy
I look at you and look away
For I don’t know what to say
Now it’s the last day of school
Everyone thinks this day is so cool
But not for me
For it is today, that I see
How dumb I’m being, acting
While I’m hiding, last year we’d be talking
The last day, last year,
You said goodbye, and now we’re here
Will it ever be the same?
Will we ever just sit and talk, it used to be that way
Now I’m not sure it can come to be
For I am no longer the old me
I am shy, I am weak
Seemed to have broken my good-girl streak
The thing that keeps me going everyday
Is that you look past all that and see me, the old way
You see me, and I see you, what’s the problem, then?

Come on my friend
And leave your caution to the wind
I know you used to keep that feeling out of sight
It’s getting stronger
I feel it burning in my mind
So in teasing me it’s growing deep inside
Come on and lay your tender lips down on my skin
Show me how sweet and easy it can be
Let us stick together
And make it happen
Come and make it over again
Take you to the top
Tell me have you even boards?
Come and let me love you again
Do the best I can
Let me tremble in your grip
Come on my friend
And leave your caution way behind
I wanna love your body till the morning light
Ooh watch me my friend
I feel you reaching in my mind
Though I know we’ll be in love just for one night
I keep on trying to change my thought of you again
But everything seems to be the same
I wonder where you are now
Don’t wanna lose you
Come and make it over again
Take you to the top
Tell me have you even boards?
Come on let me love you again
Do the best I can
Let me tremble in your grip
[Instrumental]
Lay your tender lips down on my skin
Show me how sweet and easy it can be
And let us stick together
And make it happen
Ooh take you to the top
Take me to the take me to the top
To the top (Take me to the top)
You know I love you baby (Do the best I can)

Free to need some help

When I'm lonely in the crowd
When the silence gets too loud
I'll be crashing on some couch
And even if I never forget you baby
Tonight I'm gonna let your memory baby
Go, always sad I know
But at least I got my friends
Share a rain coat in the wind
They got my back until the end
If I'll never fall in love again
Well at least I got my friends
Like a life boat in the dark
Saving me from the sharks
Even though I got a broken heart
At least I got my friends, got my friends, got my
friends, got my friends
Well at least I got my friends
I don't wanna think, I just wanna feel
I just wanna dream, yeah
So pour another round
And throw it back until it's down
Let's get lost until we're found, again and again
And even if I never forget you baby
Tonight I'm gonna let your memory baby
Go, always said I know
But at least I got my friends
Share a rain coat in the wind
(Always got my back) Got my back until the end
If I'll never fall in love again
At least I got my friends
Like a light bulb in the dark
Saving me from the sharks
Even though I got a broken heart
At least I got my friends, got my friends, got my
friends, got my friends
And when the world is upside down, yeah
The sky is full of clouds yeah
They always come around, it feels like home, like home
And I never have to try, I can be myself and I
Am never alone, I never feel alone
And even if I never forget you baby
Tonight I'm gonna let your memory baby
Go, always said I know
But at least I got my friends
Share a rain coat in the wind
They got my back until the end
If I'll never fall in love again
At least I got my friends
Like a light bulb in the dark
Saving me from the sharks
Even though I got a broken heart
At least I got my friends, got my friends, got my
friends, got my friends
At least I got my friends, got my friends, got my
friends, got my friends

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hope He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
Bridge:
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts (hearts) in big and small ways (hearts)
Will keep the love (strong) that keeps us strong (strong)
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever (forever friends)
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never (forever friends)
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go (to let you go)
In the Father's hand we know (His hand we know)
That a lifetime's not too long (to live)
To live as friends
Friends
With the faith and love God's given (God has given)
Springing from the hope we know (from the hope we know)
We will pray the joy you'll live in (forever friends)
Is the strength that now you show (forever friends)
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus (x2)
No a lifetime's not to long
To live as friends (as friends)
We live as friends

Friends
You were my brother
A soul mate a friend
The kinda one you
Supposed to meet 'n keep but then
Some misunderstanding
Ruined a perfect blending
A sour tasting stew
That would never happen to you
I was on the road
Busy obviously
Consuming time and
It didn't help necessarily
You did not return my calls
Surrounded by your walls
Quite a childish thing to do
For a critic like you
We can still talk it over
Get a drink get sober
Friends do that
They just admit 'n forget
We want the world to move on
Already we don't get along
Ain't nothing worse than friends
Who regret they met
Could it be more easy
Pour it down the drain
'cause even "lonely"
At the top of the food chain
Life is still too short
And I don't think we can afford
Friends makin' mistakes
Give history a break
Can you imagine
Endin' up there all together
Oh, it won't matter
They ''ll place the two of us right next to each other
Every dinner breakfast
God knows how long it 'll last
Shiits, jews, you and me
Mute eternally
We can still talk it over
Get a drink get sober
Friends do that
They just admit 'n forget
We want the world to move on
Already we don't get along
Ain't nothing worse than friends
Who regret they met
Someone hurt you before
It's what you're blaming the next one for
Ain't that exactly
Why we people 've been needing therapy
Since the earliest century
We can still talk it over
Get a drink get sober
Friends do that
They just admit 'n forget
We want the world to move on
Already we don't get along
Ain't nothing worse than friends
Who regret they met
And all these conversations we had
By the value system bein' dead
Ain't that what you said
... That is what you said:
"Forgive and forget as easy as that...
innocent and entire nations dragged into war 'n how did we come this far?"...
... Cut the crap, you can't even make it up to friend...
Ok, I'm sorry I called you dreadful, I still think you do need a girl though, get a wif, get a drink...
You called me a capitalist, moralizing in my farm...
Let's get lots of drinks, mojito's...
In love with the entire bar, lousy in the morning, still better than embarrassed towards this angel:
"Were these the best friends?"...
Before I could never understand, a father and a son on unspeaking terms...
So sad.
Forgive 'n forget,
as easy as that,
I think alcohol could save the world, it's dangerous...
What? ...
Not to drink...

You thought you could make this up one day, all the pain
you gave me
When you talked behind my back
I used to call you my friend, but that was long ago
Now I know you as my enemy, and that can't be restored
What did you gain when you stabbed me in my back
Is that what you call a friend
Then you're better off alone
What did you gain when you broke the trust I gave
Is that what you call a friend
Then you're better off alone
You really fooled me, I gave you my innermost thoughts
That way I trusted you, like friends should do
You used it against me, like an enemy would do, leave me
alone
I don't know you anymore, and that can't be restored
What did you gain when you stabbed me in my back
Is that what you call a friend
Then you're better off alone
What did you gain when you broke the trust I gave
Is that what you call a friend

Sometimes it's so hard
to be all on your own
feeling helpless
and far from home
I play my favorite song
it keeps me hanging on
Ease the lonelyness
when everyone is gone
When I'm feeling down and out
memories I feel bad about
I know a way to set my sorrow aside
My friends are always there for me
to help me through the darkest night
My friends will always stand by me
To lend a hand and make it right
My friends will find a way to hold on
my friends I'll find a way to hold on
I drive away the night
to an empty hotel room
My heart is filled
with feelings of gloom
Watch the world on CNN
Read a letter of a far away fan
Just a distant love
Is all that I am
When I'm feeling down and out
memories I feel bad about
I know a way to set my sorrow aside
My friends are always there for me
to help me through the darkest night
My friends will always stand by me
To lend a hand and make it right
My friends will find a way to hold on
my friends I'll find a way to hold on
We're for ever on our way
no time somehow to stay
and share some words, that seem so easy to say
It's a cold world outside
everybody needs a place to hide
You gotta know, real friendship never dies
My friends are always there for me
to help me through the darkest night
My friends will always stand by me
To lend a hand and make it right
My friends will find a way to hold on

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh I've got friends in low places
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh I've got friends in low places
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh I've got friends in low places
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh I've got friends in low places
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away

I've got friends who are there to the end. Sharing past experience, rejecting all the trends. Seeing through the everyday and leading their own lives. Creating tunes and phrases that help us all survive. I've got friends who chose to settle down, mortgages and babies, getting married, saving Pounds. So when I get to tell you these friends are all the same, you start to get the picture - the shock is in the change. Growing older separates experience from 'now.' What once was one big family is caught up in a row. Based on what we used to be, divisions causing stress. Looked upon subjectively, it all seems such a mess. Sat in stupid corners thinking we're all alone. Not counting friends who went the way we never used to go. While they're sat in the same corners feeling more or less the same. How many rules were broken to lead up to this game? How much freedom do we need before we give me of it away? Opinions need to loosen up if we really want some change. If every boundary we create excludes more than it retains, then old friends are excluded, and you have to think again.
