Friends is a word we use every day

But most of the time we use it in the wrong way

Now you can look the word up again and again

But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends

Now if you ask me you know I couldn't be much of help

Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself

Some are okey and they treat you real cool

And some mistake kindness for being a fool

We like to be with some because they're funny

Others come around when they need some money

Some you grew up with around the way

And you still grow close to this very day

Homeboys through the summer, winter, spring and fall

And then there are some we wish we never knew at all

The list goes on again and again

But then these are the people that we call...



Friends, how many of us have been?

Friends, ones we can depend on

Friends, how many of us have them?

Friends, before we go any further



Let's be friends, they come in all sizes and shapes

Try to count how many of them are we gonna make in a lifetime

We don't know for sure how many like a child take to candy

Massive or plenty, or dwindlin' if you live a life o' swindlin'

And dealin' and wheelin' or takin' heroin like Weiland

La vie en rosem c'est la vie take a pause

Will it include me, myself and I with a clause?

Applause, so selfish of myself

To forget without friends, we be worthless

We won't even worth____

Pardon my lingo, my stilo's kinda harsh

We got to mingle, tickle them funny bones

Makes it a whole lot sweeter

Margarita, I be swayin' when I take the BJ Flaming Bikini

Play Godini, that's what I say



Friends, how many of us have been?

Friends, ones we can depend on

Friends, how many of us have them?

Friends
