Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every since I could remember
I had friends I could depend on
Clothes to lend 'em
Money to spend on
But, as time went by
My life got a little strange
And the rules in this game seem to change
Trust, honesty, and devotion
And money, money, money is the poison potion
There's no way that I can even say
That this game has been good to me
Or even bad to me, it had to be
'Cause tragically the way this shit
Cracked off for Doggy Dog was magically
And now I'm getting everything I'm supposed to get
But my friendship with **** always ends up as bullshit
I listen to my momma though
She always tried to prepare me
And warn me for the drama, yo
But, how could she do what I
I mean, I'm do or die
But my life on the streets
That shit is suicide
So, to cope I got a dogg and a loc
And keep my heat close in case
These jokes go for broke
I'm mashing with the clique, 2 1 3 that is
They my homeboys ever since kids
Real friends to the end
[Verse 2]
Hanging out with my homies
(How many of us have them?)
And I'm feeling just fine
(How many of us have them?)
I've been pondering lately
(How many of us have them?)
A lot of different things on my mind
(How many of us have them?)
It seems lately my friends list
(How many of us have them?)
Done took a slight decline
(How many of us have them?)
And if you wanna know the truth, man, man
(How many of us have them?)
Them wasn't no friends of mine
(How many of us have them?)
[Verse 3]
You jacking me up
You taking my cash
All my life L B C, for my city I mash
All these O G's and B G's and wannabes and L O C's
The only friends I got is my 2 1 3's
That's my **** Snoop D Woop and my **** N A T E
I can't forget about my **** H to the dizzy
Pressure and strikes
Don't wanna take no lives
But these jaw jacks and hood cracks
Will make you break some bizacks
What's up, homie, can I borrow some cash?
Last week I gave you five hundred
So kiss my ass
I got a baby to feed
A family to see through
And shake busta snitches tweaking like yizzou
Homies and friends that's what they fizzle
Staying tight and money right
And busting with a .44
[Verse 4]
Hanging out with my homies
(How many of us have them?)
And I'm feeling just fine
(How many of us have them?)
I've been pondering lately, lately
(How many of us have them?)
A lot of different things on my mind
(How many of us have them?)
It seems lately my friends list
(How many of us have them?)
Done took a slight decline
(How many of us have them?)
And if you wanna know the truth, man, man
(How many of us have them?)
Them wasn't no friends of mine
(How many of us have them?)
[Verse 5]
Hanging out with my homies
(How many of us have them?)
And I'm feeling just fine
(How many of us have them?)
I've been pondering lately, lately
(How many of us have them?)
A lot of different things on my mind
(How many of us have them?)
It seems lately my friends list
(How many of us have them?)
Done took a slight decline
(How many of us have them?)
And if you wanna know the truth, man, man
Them wasn't no friends of mine
