Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Anyway it doesn't matter much how you feel
You know what you gotta do
I'm here to do it
How about you mister
[Verse 2]
Age five years old
We was young bucks
Scrubbing each others back in the bathtub
Babysitter send you to bed
But she would make me stay up
So she could give the young player some vicious head
Early symptoms of a
Time of night way
Gigantic factor from the
Cockiness 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, ****
Sunday school
Now I heard that you off into jacking ****
That ain't even cool
I used to conned, racked and fucked around
And ripped bad
Barking up on the wrong tree
Talking about running up in my past
[Verse 3]
**** have hateful thoughts
But they can't stop me from striving
The suckers be shaking salt
All in his game full so find
Some fools be getting crossed
Victims of forty-ness
Man all that drama you come with
I swear your on some shit
Whether it's morphine or cocaine
Doja or dog food
They had these marks for Tre and Max
Fucking off my high breaking rules
You got your P's mixed up
You ain't no pimp you's a forty
I spit for Major Mix
While you make tapes for your homies
And then you work up the 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 player just chill
And take a look at what these fakers call real
[Verse 4]
I trust no man
'Cause man will let you down every time
That's why I take it upon myself to thank God in every rhyme
'Cause 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
'Cause righteous thoughts of mine
Will leave mark ass **** 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 alright
He made it tight
And now I'm back up on the scene counting greens
Straight from H town to New Orleans
New human beings putting it down like a mic or not
Replace the slot
Open up shop
We 'bout to make it hot
Stop
With your devilish doings
Because your devilish doings will only bring forth your ruin
[Verse 5]
Friend or foe
You just will never know
Who can you trust
In a world that's oh so cold?
Player hating is everywhere I go
Friend or foe
You just will never know
[Verse 6]
Listen
I'm trying to tell you my **** to watch your back and trust few
'Cause ain't no **** gon' to watch your 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 trying to make
Don't want no busters around me player hating or acting fake
Don't ever be wanting nobody to get too close
I don't know if it's effects
From the marijuana that got me more than tripping
See nowadays the **** be rolling 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 ****
If I didn't have shit to roll
Maybe they will
Maybe they won't
Who is to say what a **** will do
Who is to say if you help someone
It's guaranteed that they'll help you
See what I'm saying
Listen to me and see if you can dig this
Smiling faces replaces friends when people receive ends
Now all of a sudden I'm acting funny 'cause my money's long
But there was no drama when I was living at my mama's home
But I'm not telling a **** nothing you don't already know
Personal business
You got to watch who your friends is
[Verse 7]
I'm thinking 'bout hard times
Freeing my mind
Who in the fuck gonna be my crutch?
Holding me up
Helping me out
Making 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 **** be talking 'bout kicking my ass?
Who is my friends?
Who is my foes?
Who do I ask when I want to know
Something 'bout something but I don't know nothing
My ignorance keeping me out in the cold
Who do I call when I'm in need of a ride
In somebody else's car?
How do I get from point A to B if B is just too far?
Where can I get a loan?
Where can I use the phone?
Who's gonna give me the permission to make a decision
To come up in they house and live?
When will I drive a Beamer
Take my clothes to the cleaners
How can I know?
Will I forever be paying my dues?
Will I forever be singing the blues?
Where will I find a shoulder when I be wanting to lean?
Know what I mean?
When I be needing some justification
Stuck in the fucking same location
Who is the friend that's helping me?
Who is the buster that's hurting me?
Who can I trust?
Will you be there when the going is tough?
Will I be hanging with dick in the dust?
Who want to share my load when it's too heavy to carry
Or will I go crazy pulling the load alone
Constantly getting my hustle on
When will I finally see
Kinda suspect or even actually know
Who is my real friends thick and the thin
And who in the fuck is the foe?
[Verse 8]
Friend or foe
You just will never know
Who can you trust
In a world that's oh so cold?
Player hating is everywhere I go
Friend or foe
You just will never know
Friend or foe
You just will never know
Who can you trust
In a world that's oh so cold?
Player hating is everywhere I go
Friend or foe
You just will never know
