Check'a Fred - Real Friends Lyrics

Real friends
What's a real friend

How many of us really got real friends
The ones who finna be there to the very end
The one who helps you out with your every need
The one who pays you back when you ain't even charge a fee
A lot of people did me dirty 'cause how I let 'em do me
They always had me thinking, man what the hell I'm doing
I cut some people off who I felt was closest to me
Some people I should've left at hey what's up and kept it moving
And ain't it weird how your parents know your fake friends
Before you before your entire crew
They know what's gonna happen, before you even do
The things you think you know about but you don't got a clue
Man real friends, what's a real friend?
Yeah that's a answer needed, and I'm really pleading
Picking wrong people that's a problem I keep repeating
But who's real and who's fake man I can never see it
'Cause the person that I am I'm too nice to people
'Cause I don't wanna be a person who be acting evil
Or be alone and having people say I never seen you
And Lord I'm tryna' be God like and I hope I please you
'Cause the commandment says love your enemies
And keep 'em closer then my friend that's standing next to me
I try to put myself around good energy
But that's impossible when people never let you be
So tell me, who the hell is trust worthy?
Who's really tryna' bring me up and not tryna' hurt me?
How many really like me? How many of y'all lurking?
Who's hurting me on accident? Who's hurting me on purpose?
I guess it's all good I'll just move along
What happened to your old friends? Man them n****s gone
I'm working on myself, all night long
They hated my decision but they know I ain't wrong
And man we all grown, so quit sugar coating
I'm working on my music, I'm tryna' keep it going
And you may know about me, but you don't really know me
So mind your own business, and stop being nosey
I know so many things about so many people
And they know some things about me too, so I guess it's equal
The information I could give could be so f*****g lethal
But I don't wanna be a villain I'd rather be a hero
You ever had friends that didn't like each other?
And put them in the same room across from one another
Ever had friends that was sneaking round with one another?
Having sex with the ex who dated who you call your brother
Yeah that's f****d up ain't it? Yeah I know it is
We all want respect, but yet we act like kids
And as a friend you let your bro do the things he did
Like make a girl second guess if she should even live
You saw the problems that happen but let 'em keep growing
Tried to ignore the issue, when everyone was knowing
You thought that it was like a ocean and just kept it flowing
But eventually they drowned and now your friends are hurting
Man what the hell was going on did you let fear control you?
You letting people talk about you who don't even know you
And you believing what they say but they don't even show you
Man who's this person even talking I don't even know you
You letting people think they good when they can't even have it
You let your friends fall lower then n****s pants sagging
You could've stop so many problems but you kept passing
And in 4 short years you let this all happen

Are you a real friend?
Am I a real friend?
