Lyrics
Friends ‎- how many of us have them?
Friends ‎- ones we can depend on
Friends ‎- how many of us have them?
Friends ‎- before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help
Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
And some mistake your 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 to 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
Instrumental
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
And then came the arguments and all kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It could've lasted longer 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?
Friends ‎- before we go any further, let's be
Friends
You say you and your girlfriend were so tight
You took her out with you and your guy one night
She even had a set of keys to your home
And you shared mostly everything you owned
But then she shook your hand, she stole your man
And it was done so sweet, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you don't need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on
And you’re still not sure if you’re glad he’s gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know that's just another lie
And now you're kinda cold toward 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?
Friends ‎- ones we can depend on
Friends ‎- how many of us have them?
Friends ‎- before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Friends ‎- how many of us have them?
Friends ‎- ones we can depend on
Friends ‎- how many of us have them?
Friends ‎- before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Friends ‎- how many of us have them?
Friends ‎- ones we can depend on
Friends ‎- how many of us have them?
Friends ‎- before we go any further

And then you have the folks you just immediatly connect with & they are by your side & have your six no matter what! Thanks for the video! Peace To All!!

    [Hook] Friends ‎- how many of us have them? Friends ‎- ones we can depend on Friends ‎- how many of us have them? Friends ‎- before we go any further, let's be Friends [Verse 1] 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 doesn't know the meaning of friends And if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself Some are ok, and they treat you real cool But some mistake your 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 to 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 [Verse 2] 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 And then came the arguments and all kinds of problems Besides making love, we had nothing in common It could've lasted longer 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 [Hook] Friends ‎- how many of us have them? Friends ‎- ones we can depend on Friends ‎- how many of us have them? Friends ‎- before we go any further, let's be Friends [Verse 3] You say you and your girl friend 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 sweet, it had to be a plan Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys With friends like that you don't need enemies You wonder how long it was all going on And you’re still not sure if you’re glad he’s gone You say, well if she took him he was never mine But deep inside you know that's just another lie And now you're kinda cold toward 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 [Hook] Friends ‎- how many of us have them? Friends ‎- ones we can depend on Friends ‎- how many of us have them? Friends ‎- before we go any further, let's be Friends

    An OG once told me in a youth program meeting, the 80's gangstas are the result of why law enforcement, nation wide cracked down on kingpins, drug rings, gangs, criminal underworld and organizations. That's why to this day nothing is the same. The game has changed. The streets ain't mad crazy like it was in the 80's No more fat gold chains, diamond rings, gold tooth or pushing weight, packing uzis He told me this in 2013. My grandma recently said that she's happy that my hood ain't mad active like it was some thirty years ago and she's glad there's no more crazy hood shit happening. That was a couple weeks ago. So yeah. The game changed. Nothing will ever be like it was.

    I’m really sick of you morality police coming on these videos talking this bullshit. You can’t even enjoy a classic song without putting down other classic songs for being “too vulgar” and reminiscing about the “old days” as if everything was fine and dandy for everyone in the 80’s during the Reagan era. The violence you hear in music is a reflection of the world around us and expecting everyone to just stick to making “happy” music that doesn’t scare the white people away when the country has been fucked for years is just silly.

    See, when is it going to get REAL like this again. People STILL don't know what a REAL friend is to this very day. People claim to be SO REAL these days but they don't even have a clue AT ALL. This music will ALWAYS be Relevant to Life because it's ULTRA REAL.
