|
The beat was sposed to drop right there |
|
The beat was sposed to drop right there |
|
The beat was sposed 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 fam |
|
Chorus: KRS-One |
|
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 |
|
Verse One: KRS-One |
|
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 |
|
Chorus |
|
Verse Two: KRS-One |
|
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 gots 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 |
|
Chorus |
|
Verse Three: KRS-One |
|
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 |
|
Chorus |
