Friends

Jody Watley featuring Eric B. & Rakim

(Andre Cymon?Jody Watley)



Have you ever been stabbed in the back

By someone you thought was really cool

Did they steal your heart or was it money

Or was it lies they told

Strangers just disguised as your friends

Never again cause now you know



That friends will let you down

Friends wont be around

When you need them most

Where are your friend



Friends are hard to find

Friends, yours and mine

Im talkin?bout your friends



Smiles they hide behind

Never know whats on their mind

Could be true deception

Jealousy and envy reign

They never want to see you get ahead

They just hold you back



Friends will let you down

Friends wont be around

When you need them most

Where are your friend, oh, oh



Friends are hard to find

Friends, yours and mine

Im talkin?bout your friends



Friends are hard to find, so be careful

You could find an inch or mile if I pay you

But some aint that bad, but one might back stab

To get the fake tips of what one might have

Bite the hand that feeds you, leave the people who need you

For those who hold you back and mislead you

To be a needle, dont get lead on unleaded

The wrong direction, a dead ends next then

Heed the detour, lifes like a seesaw

The ups and downs, and Ill bet therell be more

Potholes and obstacles in our path, thats righteous

At times you need a hand to fight this

Way of life, straighten up, take the door to the placid

And dont you act two-faced

Cause jealousy and envy, and you still act friendly

You could find the end and pretend to be



Friends will let you down

Friends wont be around

When you need them most

Where are your friends, yeah



Friends are hard to find

Friends, yours and mine

Im talkin?bout your friends



Used to me kiss me, tell me you missed me

But now you try to glaze me, play me and diss me

Uh, wide awake, ready to break, so we argue

What happened to the kisses, and, Why, how are you?s, yours and mine

Im talkin?bout your friends



Friends will let you down

Friends wont be around

When you need them most

Where are your friends, yeah



Friends are hard to find

Friends, yours and mine
