A friend will stick closer than a brother, not these days
Now a friend will try to put you in a grave
Kick door ya house, put a gun in ya mouth
Take the food out ya freezer and empty ya bank account
Now you feeling empty like you did too much
That ain't true, they hate you, they think you didn't do enough
Cried and prayed for them, helped them get on their feet
Now they hate you and putting all ya business in the street
Bout ya house, ya spouse, ya family, ya green
Tidbits of things they should have not seen
I gotta open my Bible and read again
Ask the Lord to convince me why it's good to have a friend
My friend, who would think you would turn around
My friend, who would think you would let me down
My friend, who would think they'd turn around
My friend, who would think they would let me down
Women got it bad, but men got it worse
A man would shoot, tag and bag you in the back of a hearse
(When it hurt)
We talk about it like it's all hood
Yeah, they got me dog, but I ain't unfocused, it's all good
(But is it really?)
Drama and beef won't tear us apart
Now you regret every single time you opened ya heart
(Not smart)
The more that you give, the more people take
It seems like the more people you help, the more people hate
(More hate)
I ain't suppose to let them know when it hurt
I wish it was easy as shakin shoulders and brushing dirt
(Shake them off)
It ain't a joke when they close like kin
Lord, tell me again, what the heck is a friend?
My friend, who would think you would turn around
My friend, who would think you would let me down
My friend, who would think they'd turn around
My friend, who would think they would let me down
I don't need a friend, that's what's it'll be
'Til John 15:13 was givin to me
Jesus said I had a homeboy sold me for cheap
Instead of watchin while I prayed, my disciples was sleep
Healed the sick, raised the dead, brought sight to the blind
But in the end my closet homie denied me 3 times
So, what you know about the hurt of a friend?
Just for you is why I hung up on that cross for sin
Now be devoted to one another in brotherly love
Romans 12:10 – Honor, put another above
People will come and go, few will fight 'til the end
Jesus Christ, template and definition of a friend
My friend, who would think you would turn around
My friend, who would think you would let me down
My friend, who would think they'd turn around
My friend, who would think they would let me down
My friend, who would think you would turn around
My friend, who would think you would let me down
My friend, who would think they'd turn around
My friend, who would think they would let me down
