Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I turn the TV on and try to forget
Just how much I was hurting deep down inside
[Verse 2]
Yeah, they smilin' in your face
Behind your back, all they got for you is hate
Yeah, they smilin' in your face
Behind your back, yo, they wanna take your place
Just smilin' in your face
Behind your back, all they got for you is hate
Just smilin' in your face
Yeah, they smilin' in your face
[Verse 3]
Funny how the time change, strain some relationships
Turn your back for a second, and they done flipped the script
Oh, yeah, they love it when you're down on your luck
Then reappear when they need you and be all in your ear
Like, "Ah, Boog, you listen so well
Feel like I could tell you anything
Let me drain you empty with this energy"
Like I ain't dealin' with shit
Dodgin' rumors, I know two that came from you
'Cause you the only one I talk to
Superficial bitches that be creatin' the issues
I just ain't got time to listen to
See me in my weakness
Say you'll keep my secrets, then betray me without thinkin'
Then you call me fam without understandin' the meaning
If I ain't love your mother, would've been said fuck off
Givin' you the benefit, you hit me with the gloves off
I shoulda known you was a hoe-ass fake
When I first saw the hatred
Shit, caught me with the bait and switch
[Verse 4]
With friends like these, no need for enemies
Always with a trick up they sleeve, just like a fiend
They backstabbers
Whatever's yours is what they after
They see you when you shinin', wanna try to dim the light
They all smiles when you around
When you leave, they drag your name on the ground
Make me wanna holler, how could I have missed it?
You on that pretend shit
Fuck outta here, this ain't no friendship
This ain't a friendship
[Verse 5]
You ain't a genuine friend when you keep truth, hidin'
And it's a shame that when you smilin', it's two-sided
Like quarters and nickels, supported my ****
When I was floss, we wear poor before your boy could get listens
You distorted the images after much years
Now I'm simply
Pourin' our liquor for the friendship we once shared
I know your kind though
Lyin' with no control
Waitin' for the moment to stick a knife in my spine slow
Holdin' a convo with you's like wearin' blindfolds
And broadcastin' my secrets to every John Doe
You're ruthless, I used to trust you, the truth is
Fuck you, I trust you as far as I can shoot this
I'm even pissed at the people that introduced us
'Cause now they co-sign means nothing to me, it's useless
See, friends will walk through fire when something bad happens
But it's no respect for them dag-nabbit backstabbers
[Verse 6]
With friends like these, no need for enemies
Always with a trick up they sleeve, just like a fiend
They backstabbers
Whatever's yours is what they after
They see you when you shinin', wanna try to dim the light
They all smiles when you around
When you leave, they drag your name on the ground
Make me wanna holler, how could I have missed it?
You on that pretend shit
Fuck outta here, this ain't no friendship
This ain't a friendship
