|
[CHORUS]It don't matter where you've been |
|
Just focus on where you're going |
|
Most people you think are friends |
|
Ain't there when the tough gets going |
|
Remember to keep your friends |
|
Be wise with those you've chosen' |
|
Cause only your closest friends |
|
Are there when the going gets tough |
|
When I think about it the definition change |
|
Back in the old days it wasn't quite the same |
|
Or maybe it was but on another level |
|
Still pushing dirt with a different type of shovel |
|
Loyalty, trust, unconditional foundation |
|
Builds everlasting bonds and relations |
|
I've got friends |
|
I haven't seen in years |
|
I'd die for tonight forget and have a couple beers |
|
On the other hand you never know where you stand |
|
With certain types of friends they'll sell you out for some ends |
|
Or some pussy or some weed or a business transaction |
|
Some use words but |
|
I prefer action |
|
I'm a break you off like an old school playa |
|
My x-ray vision helps me see through the layers |
|
Of you fakes, phonies, lies and deception |
|
Ask Matt Hall if you need a life lesson[CHORUS] |
|
I've been all around the world and |
|
I met a lot of people |
|
These fakes and phonies yo these cats |
|
I see through |
|
Dickheads and homies some others glad to meet you |
|
You better give respect to the ones that believed you |
|
And were there by your side when the going got tough |
|
And had your back when you got to **** someone up |
|
And lent you a buck when you was broke and hungry |
|
And gave you a place to sleep living in their luxury |
|
Big Up to |
|
Chucky that's my dog for real though |
|
What up to |
|
Judge D since back in junior high school |
|
Johnny Rich' that's my man |
|
Mr. Brando |
|
My partner in crime with the gangsta flow |
|
Daddy X, Big |
|
Pak, B, Lou, |
|
Munch, Kev, |
|
FloCause if ya don't know now you know |
|
**** the rest |
|
What's up though |
|
P.S. to my shoulder blade |
|
Alison Marie |
|
What up baby |
|
**** what ya'll think[CHORUS] |
|
To make it in this life you got to know who your friends |
|
Your boys, your dogs, the ones with you 'til the end |
|
The ones that never crack it, they never even bend |
|
I mean like when your ass is broke they got the money to lend |
|
The type that when you need a ride they give you the car |
|
You don't worry about them running 'cause they'll always stand hard |
|
Late night, can't drive, man you never too far |
|
Barbeque by the pool chilling in the back yard |
|
Stepping out on a |
|
Friday never leave you behind |
|
The first to call you up when they're hitting the kind |
|
None the less don't stress 'cause it'll always be fine |
|
Like everything |
|
I got is yours and what you got is mine |
|
Walk in the front door like they own the crib |
|
But hey, what's theirs is yours and what's yours is theirs |
|
I can't explain it no better that's just how it goes |
|
Real friends can't be bought it's got to come from the soul so[CHORUS] |
