A Friend

Lyrics

The beat was spoused to drop right there
 The beat was spoused to drop right there
 The beat was spoused to drop right there
 Yeah yeah yeah, uhh
 I send this one out, to my right hand man
 Or mens, or womens, the whole crew
 The real fan
 We can count the dough or kick a flow
 Or chill out watchin' videos
 Or actin' really silly yo but really doe
 All that can end
 Whether at the bar with superstars
 Or cruisin' in the trooper car
 I really don't care who you are
 All I really need is a friend
 If we can't have trust then you can't hang with us
 We respond to those who show respect with respect
 We respond we connect on the same deck
 Same intellect, my man, never shifty, thinks quickly
 If you can't understand, we boys we boys
 We could stand on the corner with a hat sellin' toys
 It ain't about your Benz I hope it ain't about mine
 My man, I be dissin' in my freestyle rhyme
 Gettin' G's around the world, I can trust you with my girl
 My man, we chillin' at the jam, what's the plan?
 I'm not a yes man and none of my friends are yes men
 Or women, I'm drivin', I see my peeps yo get in
 Where you fit in? True friends are quick to sit
 In the beginning of all trouble, and when your bankroll doubles
 Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble
 Still I got my own space like Hubble
 We can count the dough or kick a flow
 Or chill out watchin' videos
 Or actin' really silly yo but really doe
 All that can end
 Whether at the bar with superstars
 Or cruisin' in the trooper car
 I really don't care who you are
 All I really need is a friend
 'Cause don't nobody care about us, all they do is doubt us
 Until we blow the spot then they all wanna crowd us
 And wanna shout us, but you my man from way back
 I just got to say that, actin' large I don't play that
 But I can't say that, where I play at isn't fast-paced
 A friend can acquire the taste to become two-faced
 And that's a disgrace there ain't nothing you can say to us
 When the kid you grew up with betrays your trust
 When we used to ride the bus we had trust
 Now we cash checks and drive Lex, and can't show respect to one of us
 Yo the heads I hang with ain't tryin' to just get
 What they can get, sit quickly backstabbin' the click
 I roll thick, but only some are friends really
 Down to the end, my right hand men and women
 Mutual support, from the beginning
 Been in, exactly what I've been in
 We can count the dough or kick a flow
 Or chill out watchin' videos
 Or actin' really silly yo but really doe
 All that can end
 Whether at the bar with superstars
 Or cruisin' in the trooper car
 I really don't care who you are
 All I really need is a friend
 Back to back we attack corporate America
 Gettin fees that amount to G's in every area
 You my man I ain't gotta drag you along
 You pull your own weight, yeah you definitely got it goin' on
 I don't see nothin' wrong wit a little bumpin' car system
 Thumpin', between the crew we always got sump'un
 But if we had nuttin' no frontin' whatever
 We'd still be crew you and me, me for you together
 Word, fake people ain't worth a turd
 They only want to be your friend because of what they overheard
 I send this record to the well respected
 Friends that I've collected, I hope I am what you expected
 Yeah, so check it, so check it
 We can count the dough or kick a flow
 Or chill out watchin' videos
 Or actin' really silly yo but really doe
 All that can end
 Whether at the bar with superstars
 Or cruisin' in the trooper car
 I really don't care who you are
 All I really need is a friend
