Verse 1
(Before we go (B major) any further
Friends) As you call 'em, they call you
when they need some (A flatsus4) thing
Trees for the bluntin',
(A flat major) to G's for the frontin'
(E minoraj7) I found a way to get peace of mind
for years and left (A flatsus4) the hell alone
Turn a deaf ear (A flat major) to the cellular phone
(B major) Send me a letter or better,
we could see each other (A flatsus4) in real life
Just so you could (A flat major) feel me like a steel knife
(E minoraj7) At least so you could see
the white of their eyes
(A flatsus4) Bright with surprise,
once they (A flat major) finish spitting lies
As (B major) sociates is your boys,
your girls, bitches, nig (A flatsus4) gas, homies
Close, or (A flat major) really don't know me
(E minoraj7) Mom, dad, comrade, peeps,
brothers, sisters, duns, (A flatsus4) dunnies
Some come around
(A flat major) when they need some money
(B major) Others make us laugh like the Sunday funnies
(A flatsus4) Fam be around
whether (A flat major) you paid or bummy
(E minoraj7) You could either ignore this advice
or take it from me:
(A flatsus4) Be too nice and people
(A flat major) take you for a dummy
(B major) So nowadays, he ain't so friendly
(A flatsus4) Actually they wouldn’t even
(A flat major) made a worthy enemy
(E minoraj7) Read the signs: "No feeding the baboons
(A flatsus4) Seein' as how they got your back
(A flat major) bleeding from the stab wounds
(B major) Y'all know the dance,
they smile in your face,
(A flatsus4) y'all know the glance
Try to put 'em (A flat major) on, they blow the chance
(E minoraj7) Never let your so-called mans
know your plans
(How many of us have them?)
A show of hands
(B major) (Friends) is a term some people use loosely
(A flatsus4) I'm real choosy on what I
(A flat major) choose to let crews see
(E minoraj7) You telling me I try to act broke
(A flatsus4) Jealousy the number- one (A flat major) killer
among black folk
(B major) Fellas be under some type of spell
like crack smoke (A flatsus4)
Ghetto Cinderellas lead 'em
(A flat major) right to your stack, loc
(E minoraj7) Just another way a chick'll lead to your end
(A flatsus4) I checked the dictionary
for the (A flat major) meaning of friend
It said, (B major) "Person one likes to socialize with
(A flatsus4) Sympathizer, helper",
and (A flat major) that's about the size of it
(E minoraj7) Most of the time
these attributes is one- sid (A flatsus4) ed
To bolster the crime,
they're (A flat major) apt to shoot you through your eyelid
and (B major) they can't hide it,
going wild like a white bitch (A flatsus4)
Sometimes you need to cut (A flat major) niggas off
like a light switch (Flick!)
And when things get quiet
(A flatsus4) Catch 'em like a thief in the night
(Wow!) what a riot
I (B major) first met Mr. Fantastik at a arms deal (A flatsus4)
Don't let it get drastic,
(A flat major) think of how your moms'll feel (E minoraj7)
When it get for real,
steel get to sparkin', (A flatsus4)
Everything darken, it (A flat major) ain't no talkin'
(B major) For somethin' so cheap,
it sure buys a lot of trouble
(A flatsus4) You're better off focusing
than (A flat major) tryna plot to bubble
Or (E minoraj7) else it'd be a sad note to end on,
the guns we got is
(Ones we can depend on, (E minoraj7) friends)
Some come in the form
of co- dependents (A flatsus4)
A lot of times only (A flat major) end up
being co-defendants
(E minoraj7) Ten bucks say they tell
for a lower sen (A flatsus4) tence
And leave you up under the (A flat major) jail,
begging for repentance
It (E minoraj7) don't make no sense,
what happened to the loyalty? (A flatsus4)
Honor amongst crooks, (A flat major) trust amongst royalty
(E minoraj7) I'd rather go out in a blaze
than give 'em the glo (A flatsus4) ry
(How many of us have--) (A flat major) a similar story?
(B major) (Friends) before lovers,
we used to have some type of o (A flatsus4) ver standing
Just so when I (A flat major) let her get the man thing
(E minoraj7) She know it's no strings,
we could do the damn (A flatsus4) thing
But ho, it's no rings,
(A flat major) just how the tramp swings
(B major) Will she see him again? That depends on
(A flatsus4) "How good was the skins?" and
"Could she (A flat major) memorize the lessons?"
(E minoraj7) it ain't no need to pretend
E (A flatsus4) ven though she let him stab it,
she (A flat major) know they're just friends
Outro 1
(B major) Friends
(A flatsus4) How many of us have (A flat major) them?
(E minoraj7) Friends
(A flatsus4) Ones we can depend (A flat major) on?
(B major) Friends
(A flatsus4) How many of us have (A flat major) them?
(E minoraj7) Friends

And the next nice (A flatsus4) neighborhood
I move into, (A flat major)
you guys'll get crack
[laughter]
(Negro humor always escaped me)
[Spoken dialogue]
