Friends Close Video (MV)

I keep my friends close, my enemies closer but I keep this heat too
I'm peaking over each shoulder, reach for me
I'll make sure that they leave the scene leaned over
Slumped out, gun sounds, that's what he get for tryna be a soldier
Boy, your momma should have told you "Don't approach strangers"
Unless you wanna end up brainless, found out the hard way instead
I'm always prepared, keep on in the head
And now he got one in his, guess life is a bitch, huh?
Funny thing is, it was never supposed to happen
If he was raised right, he wouldn't have turned me into an assassin
But it's too late, today he remains just a face on a Hanes
And if I had to do it again then I wouldn't change a thing
I play the game and they can't hang but, see, me, I be dangling
I'm just saying, 'till this day I don't know what he was thinking
But I'm praying for his family, though they clearly forsaked him
Should have raised him right, now he gotta pay the price

Better watch your back because they're outside, you can't hide
Don't try to run, boy, get a gun, that's the only way to survive
Weight of the world on my shoulders but I take it in stride
Just caught a body, if they find me then I'm taking a ride
Pleading my case for self to defense to the judge
I'm in this courtroom getting cross examinated but I still just won't budge
The prosecution ask me why I got guns
For protection, every day I keep it on me from the rise of the sun
'Cause how reliable is 911, I wouldn't know 'cause I don't call 'em
When my back to the wall, I bust shots from this revolver
The only man responsible for my life is me
That's why I got bullets as far as the eye can see
And boy don't test the accuracy, end you back up to God and I attach the receipt
But he unrecognizable, make sure he go back with ID
And that's the situation, I'm just saying if you're asking me
I would if I had to repeat
