Jody Watley - Friends Lyrics
Friendsfeat. Eric B. & RakimHave you ever been stabbed in the backBy someone you thought was really coolDid they steal your lover or was it moneyOr was it lies they toldStrangers just disguise as your friendsNever again cause now you knowFriends will let you downFriends won’t be aroundWhen you need them mostWhere are your friendsFriends are hard to findFriends yours and mineI’m talking about your friendsSmiles they hide behindNever know what’s on their mindCould be true deceptionJealousy and envy reignNever want to see you get aheadThey just hold you backFriends will let you downFriends won’t be aroundWhen you need them mostWhere are your friendsFriends are hard to findFriends yours and mineI’m talking about your friends(Rakim Rap)You used to kiss me and tell me you miss meBut now you try to glaze me, play me, and diss meI’m wide awake, ready to break so we’d argueWhat happened to the kisses and the “Ra, how are you?”Forgot about the times when I rhymed when I bathed youDreams was the only little things that I gave youStill ain’t thankful, you still complainingUsed to be a quiet storm, but now it’s rainingHarder than ever I’m thinking whetherIf we should be friends, let it endIs it better to forget or remember your body’s tender?The vibe that I send her makes her surrenderThe feelings of capture caught in a raptureNo woman can match you, so when I’m looking at youPaint a perfect picture so you can remember meBut you could find the end if you pretend to beFriends will let you downFriends won’t be aroundWhen you need them mostWhere are your friendsFriends are hard to findFriends yours and mineI’m talking about your friendsThey say they’ll be with youThrough all times of thick and thinA shoulder to rely onOn the days that life gets roughThere to wipe your tears awayFrom that new heart breakBut when it happensYou can’t find themWhere are your friends(Eric B. Rap)Friends are hard to find, so be carefulYou can find them and to remind and they’ll pay youBut some ain’t that bad, but one might back stabTo get their fingertips on what one might haveBite the hand that feeds you; leave the people who need youFor those who hold you back and mislead youSo be a leader, don’t get lead onOr lead in a wrong direction, a dead end’s, next endYou need a detour; life’s like a seesawUp’s and down’s and I’ll bet there will be morePotholes and obstacles in the path, that’s righteousAt times you need a hand to fight this way of lifeStraighten up, take the door and replace itAnd don’t you act “two-face” itCause jealousy and envy and you still act friendlyYou could find the end, when you pretend to be
