[Featuring E 40]
[Anyway it doesn't matter
much how you feel
you know what you got to do
I'm here to do it
how about you?]
E
40:
Our age five years old
we were young
bucks
scrubbin' each others backs in the
bathtub
Babysitter would send you to
bed
but she would make me stay up
so she
could give the young playa some viscious head
uh
early symptoms of
time of
nightway
gigantic factor from the
Caukenis
bitch tamer
some had it all though
but less
unfortunate
you had an alloy spoke
Mongoose
and I had a Huffy
You owned a
green machine
three different lunch pails
I
had a go-cart that I built from a bunch of used
nails
We grew up in the church together
nigga
sunday school
Now I heard you off
into jackin nigga
that ain't even cool
I
used to be conned, racked, fucked around,
and
ripped bad
barking up on the wrong
tree
talking about runnin up in my
past
Niggas have hateful thoughts
but they
stop me from strivin
suckas be shakin
salt
all in his gameful so find
some fools
be gettin crossed
victims of 40-ness
man
all that drama you come with
I swear you on
some shit
Whether it's morphine or
cocaine
Doja or doggfood
they had these
marks for Tre and Max
fuckin off my high
breakin rules
you got ya P's mixed up
you
ain't no pimp
you's a forty
I spit for
major mix
while you make tapes for ya
homie
and then you work up tha nerve
to
speak fair words
The pimp, a traitor, we
instigators
that's why I wrote this
verse
for every youngster with his mind on his
meal
Young playa just chill
and take a look
at what these fakers call real
nigga
I
trust no man,
cuz man will let you down every
time
that's why I take it upon myself to thank
god in every rhyme
cuz I've seen better
times
and I've seen worser days
when some
of my so called friends
wasn't around when I
ain't have a verse to say
I quench my thirst
today
with righteous thoughts of mine
cuz
righteous thought of mine will leave mark ass
niggas far behind
I seen it every time
they
come and go
That's why I drop to my
knees
and ask god to distinguish friend from
foe
and what do you know
by the time
morning comes I can see the light
and then I'm
thanking god once again for making everything all
right
he made it tight and now I'm back up on
the scene
countin' greens
straight from
H-town to New Orleans
New human beings puttin
it down like a mic or not
replace the slot
open up shop
we 'bout to make it
hot
Stop
with ya devilish doins
because
ya devilish doins will only bring forth ya
ruin
Friend or foe, you just will never
know
Who can you trust, in a world that's oh
so cold
playa hatin is everywhere I
go
Friend or foe you just will never
know
Listen
I'm tryin to tell you my nigga
to watch cha back
and trust few
Cause ain't
no nigga gon watch ya back for you like
you
When someone is broke and down and out
without no clout it's rough
At least you know
who you can and who you cannot trust
see let
me explain myself and clear up the point I'm
tryin to make
don't want no bustas around
me
playa hatin or actin fake
don't ever be
wantin nobody to get to close
I don't know if
it's effects of
from the marijuana that got me
more than trippin
see nowadays tha nigga be
rollin' thick with hella loot
but if my loot
was gone would I be all alone?
See, my
partners who used to ride with me
and smoke
that dank, and fuck with hoes
would they be
them same niggas if I didn't have shit to
roll?
Maybe they will, maybe they won't
who
is to say what a nigga will do
who is to say if
you help someone it's guaranteed that they'll
help
you
see what I'm sayin, listen to me
and see if you can dig this
Smilin' faces
replaces friends when people recieve ends
Now
all of a sudden I'm actin funny because my moneys
loaned
But there was no drama when I was livin'
at my momma's home
But I'm not tellin' a nigga
nothin you don't already know
personal
business, you got to watch who you friends
is
I'm thinking about hard times
freeing my
mind
who in the fuck goin be my
crutch?
Holdin me up, helpin me out
makin
sure that I stay in touch
Where do I sleep,
who do I turn to?
When I be low on my
cash
who am I down with when fifty niggas be
talkin bout kickin my ass?
Who is my friends
who is my foes?
Who do I ask, when I want to
know
somethin about somethin but I don't know
nothin
my ignorance be keepin me out in the
cold
Who do I call when I'm in need of a
ride?
in somebody elses car
How do I get
from point A to B if B is just to far?
Where
can I get a loan, where can I use the
phone?
Who's goin to give me the permission to
make a decision
to come up in they house and
live
when will I drive a BMer takin my clothes
to the cleaner
How can I know
will I forever
be payin my dues, will I forever be singing the
blues?
Where will I find a shoulder when I be
wantin to lean
know what I mean?
when I be
needin some justification
stuck in the fuckin
same location
who is the friend that is helpin
me?
who is the busta thats hurtin me?
who
can I trust?
will you be there when the goin
is tough?
Will I be hangin with dick in the
dust?
Who wanna share my load when it's too
heavy to carry?
or will I go crazy pullin the
load alone?
constantly gettin my hustle
on
when will I finally see, kinda
suspect
or even actually know
Who is my
real friend thick and the thin?
and who in the
fuck is the foe?
Friend or foe, you just will
never know
Who can you trust, in a world
that's oh so cold
playa hatin is everywhere I
go
Friend or foe you just will never know...
