Testo Friend Or Foe - 8Ball & MJG
Testo della canzone Friend Or Foe (8Ball & MJG), tratta dall'album On Top Of The World
Anyway, it doesn't matter much how you feel
You know what you got to do, I'm here to do it
How about you?
Our age five years old, we were young bucks
Scrubbin' each other's backs in the bathtub
Babysitter would send you to bed, but she would make me stay up
So she could give the young playa some vicious head, uh
Early symptoms of time of nightway
Gigantic factor from the caukenis bitch tamer
Some had it all, though, but less unfortunate
You had an alloy spoke mongoose, and I had a huffy
You owned a green machine (green machine), three different lunch pails
I had a go-cart that I built from a bunch of used nails
We grew up in the church together, nigga, Sunday school
Now I heard you off into jackin', nigga, that ain't even cool
I used to be conned, racked, fucked around, and ripped bad
Barking up on the wrong tree, talking about runnin' up in my past
Niggas have hateful thoughts, but they stop me from strivin'
Suckers be shakin' salt, all in his game, fuck, so find
Some fools be gettin' crossed, victims of 40-ness
Man, all that drama you come with, I swear you on some shit
Whether it's morphine or cocaine, doja or doggfood
They had these marks for tre and max, fuckin' off my high breakin' rules
You got ya Ps mixed up, you ain't no pimp, you's a fony
I spit for major mix while you make tapes for ya homie
And then you work up the nerve to speak foul words
The pimp, a traitor, we instigators, that's why I wrote this verse
For every youngster with his mind on his meal
Young playa just chill and take a look at what these fakers call real, nigga
I trust no man, 'cause man will let you down every time
That's why I take it upon myself to thank God in every rhyme
'Cause I've seen better times, and I've seen worser days
When some of my so-called friends wasn't around, when I ain't have a verse to say
I quench my thirst today with righteous thoughts of mine
'Cause righteous thought of mine will leave mark ass niggas far behind
I seen it every time, they come and go, that's why I drop to my knees
And ask God to distinguish friend from foe and what do you know
By the time morning comes, I can see the light
And then I'm thanking God once again for making everything alright
He made it tight, and now I'm back up on the scene
Countin' greens, straight from H-Town to New Orleans
New human beings, puttin' it down like a mic or not
Replace the slot, open up shop, we 'bout to make it hot
Stop with ya devilish doings
Because ya devilish doings will only bring forth ya ruin'
Friend or foe (oh, friend or foe)
You just will never know (oh, you never know, you never know)
Who can you trust (oh, I can't even trust, I can't even trust nobody)
In a world that's oh so cold (the world is so cold)
Playa hatin' (so much playa hatin') is everywhere I go (everywhere I go, everywhere I go, go, go, go)
Friend or foe (oh, friend or foe, oh, friend or foe)
You just will never know (oh, you never know)
Listen, I'm tryin' to tell you my nigga to watch your back and trust few
'Cause ain't no nigga gon' watch your back for you like you
When someone is broken down and out without no clout, it's rough
At least you know who you can and who you cannot trust
See, let me explain myself and clear up the point I'm tryin' to make
Don't want no bustas around me, playa hatin', or actin' fake
Don't ever be wantin' nobody to get too close, I don't know if it's effects
From the marijuana that got me 'nnoyed and trippin'
See, nowadays, a nigga be rollin' thick with hella loot
But if my loot was gone would I be all alone?
See, my partners who used to ride with me and smoke that dank, and fuck with hoes
Would they be them same niggas if I didn't have shit to roll?
Maybe they will, maybe they won't, who is to say what a nigga will do
Who is to say if you help someone it's guaranteed that they'll help you
See what I'm sayin', listen to me and see if you can dig this
Smilin' faces replaces friends when people receive ends
Now all of a sudden I'm actin' funny 'cause my moneys loaned
But there was no drama when I was livin' at my momma's home
But I'm not tellin' a nigga nothin' you don't already know
Personal or business, you got to watch who you friends is
I'm thinking about hard times, freeing my mind
Who in the fuck goin' be my crutch?
Holdin' me up, helpin' me out, makin' sure that I stay in touch
Where do I sleep, who do I turn to when I be low on my cash?
Who am I down with when 50 niggas be talkin' 'bout kickin' my ass?
Who is my friends, who is my foes? Who do I ask when I want to know
Somethin' about somethin' but I don't know nothin'?
My ignorance be keepin' me out in the cold
Who do I call when I'm in need of a ride in somebody else's car?
How do I get from point A to B if B is just too far?
Where can I get a loan, where can I use the phone?
Who's goin' to give me the permission to make a decision
To come up in they house and live
When will I drive a Beamer, takin' my clothes to the cleaner
How can I know?
Will I forever be payin' my dues, will I forever be singing the blues?
Where will I find a shoulder when I be wantin' to lean, know what I mean?
When I be needin' some justification, stuck in the fuckin' same location
Who is the friend that is helpin' me? Who is the busta that's hurtin' me?
Who can I trust? Will you be there when the goin' is tough?
Will I be hangin' with dick in the dust?
Who wanna share my load when it's too heavy to carry?
Or will I go crazy pullin' the load alone? Constantly gettin' my hustle on
When will I finally see, kinda suspect or even actually know
Who is my real friend thick and the thin? And who in the fuck is the foe?
Friend or foe (oh, friend or foe)
You just will never know (oh, you never, never know)
Who can you trust (oh, I never trust nobody)
In a world that's oh so cold (nobody but God in a world that's so cold, so cold)
Playa hatin' (so much playa hatin') is everywhere I go (oh, is everywhere that I go)
Friend or foe (oh, friend or for)
You just will never know (oh, you never know)
Friend or foe (oh, friend or foe)
You just will never know (you never, never know, ooh, you never, never know, know, know)
Who can you trust (oh, who can you trust)
In a world that's oh so cold (nobody but God, nobody but God)
Playa hatin' is everywhere I go (oh, is everywhere that I go)
Friend or foe (friend, friend or for)
You just will never know (you never, never know, never know, know, know)
