Hands out begging for some change
If I gotta dollar then I split it both ways
But let the roles switch everybody going ghost
Until they ship me a plaque then they say wanna toast
My parents raised me well
Angie taught me how to give
That ain't the only skill June taught me how to live
Taught me how to survive cause I know they gonna flake
How to apologize how to mend all my mistakes
Careful to give to people that take
I know it's some people that's feeling a way
Steady dismissing the things that I say
Manny, I'm packing I'm moving away
Cause they only call when it all hits the wall
Then try to blame me like I'm the one who made em fall
It's really not worth it, doing damage to my peace
They think I'm Hollywood if I try to speak my piece
This my release
I'm putting it in the open
You praying that I fail but your prayers ain't working
Let's pretend I ain't ever start to rap
And pretend that I never left the trap
Would the same friends still stick around
Would the same ones still hold me down
Fake friends fake friends
Way too many fake friends fake friends
Whole lotta fake friends fake friends
Way too many fake friends fake friends
The fake friends yeah
World is out to kill me
They tell me to run
Pressure getting hard to breath
I'm feeling the gun
Pressed against my head
Will I feel the lead
When they squeeze the trigger will they finally get ahead
Dope fiends taking ropes to choke teens
Kids dead ain't even living they own dreams
They run schemes, planning to pull a heist
Thinking they'll walk away with a million dollars in ice
Didn't put up a fight
Didn't cut on the lights
Saw the tattoo on his neck
Think that was my friend Mike
Closest that'll do it strangers wouldn't even step
Same people that you feed draw a line and then they step
Say wake me for my show and they see I overslept
Promises they made promises they never kept
If Judas was my homie then I see why Jesus wept
Please forgive my answers if you ask me for some help
Let's pretend I ain't ever start to rap
And pretend that I never left the trap
Would the same friends still stick around
Would the same ones still hold me down
Fake friends fake friends
Way too many fake friends fake friends
Whole lotta fake friends fake friends
Way too many fake friends fake friends
The fake friends yeah
Let's pretend I ain't ever start to rap
And pretend that I never left the trap
Would the same friends still stick around
Would the same ones still hold me down
Fake friends fake friends
Way too many fake friends fake friends
Whole lotta fake friends fake friends
Way too many fake friends fake friends
The fake friends yeah
