 Send "Friends" Ringtone to your Cell 

 [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)
