Benefit – Friends lyrics

Album: B.E.N.E.F.I.T.

((Verse 1))
I was walkin' down the street,
Adidas on my feet.
This kid started sweaten and it was'nt from, the heat.
Started gettin real loud, attractin a crowd.
His boys were all around so I guess it made him proud.
He kept preventin and his friends did that same,
I told the kid that i did'nt even know his name.
But this kid, kept say'in what I did,
and he was real thick, just finshed his bid.
He had 15 of his sons on his side,
I only had one friend and that was my pride.
I figured if I hit this kid in the face for talkin,
they'ed break both of my legs and i would'nt be walkin.
I'm contiplatin, this is the situation im makin,
pretty soon the my face and the ground would be relatin'.
Just then, I looked around and I saw 20 men,
headin my direction,surroundin.
Hell ya! My whole teams comin for me,
and my team will blow there team out of the catigory.
Since i saw all my friends approaching the plate,
I, spit on the bitch and punched him in the face.
The his whole crew, beat me black and blue,
my face had contact wit everybody's shoe.
All my friends stood arounf watchin it happen,
they never even made a slight effort of attackin.

((Chorus))
I could not believe it,
I thought i had friends,
it turns out they were really cowards in the end.
I thought you got my back,
when im under attack,
did it happen like that,
wheres my real friends at.
They all turned out to be soft in the end,
I guess I was betrayed,
I thought you were my friends.

((Verse 2))
I was fuckin wit this girl and every body knew it,
My dick she always blew it,
get, get , go to it.
And that what i did,
and thats how it went down,
little did i know on the other side of town.
She was datin this guy by the name of big Tye,
rumor had it that the man stood 10 feet high.
One day, she called and said conplate,
so i brought ten friends to tryin help them get laid.
We went to her apartment, everything was alright.
she started strippen for us,
not a problem in sight.
But just then,big Tye bust in,
this girl was blushin,
and i was flustin.
Tye had about five men with him,
since i had all ten let the battle begin.
Before a fight broke out my friends broke out,
they said "aight man we'll catch ya later kid, no doubt.".
They ignored my friends and jumped all on me,
I was out for the count and really bloody.
They were very hostile,
I woke up in the hospistal,
I was told every bone on my body was broke a little.
All my friends had ran,
as fast as they could,
just like little bitches and it was'nt understood.
They came in the room sayin "Get well good luck."
I told them "Get the hell out and shut the fuck up.".

((Chorus))
I could not believe it,
I thought i had friends,
it turns out they were really cowards in the end.
I thought you got my back,
when im under attack,
did it happen like that,
wheres my real friends at.
They all turned out to be soft in the end,
I guess I was betrayed,
I thought you were my friends.

((Verse 3))
Once apon a time,
on a very nice day.
We went to play ball on the court around the way.
We got there and started,
everything was goin great.
I had seven friends and this kid had eight.
This one kid kept on foulin my man,
I said "Please don't do that shit, understand.".
Then he said "Alright and layed back low,
the next thing ya know my man caught an elbow.
I said "Damn man shoulda listened to the profit",
he said "I'm gonna do it again you gonna stop it?".
I looked at my team and then back on him,
i figured, nows about the time to let the beatin begin.
I waited for a second,
nobody made a move,
I'm thinkin if a fight breaks out,
what will I do.
Before I had time to let the beast cook,
out of no where I caught a left and a right hook.
I was still standin,
started throwin fist back,
lots of blood flyin,
lot of contact.
I let go,
I only had two fist to throw,
suddenly six-teen fist comin "OH NO!".
I looked at my friends as I started to fall,
all I heard was "lets go, grab the ball!".
I woke up later stuck to the concrete,
the blood was all dry,
guess i met my defeat.

((Chorus))
I could not believe it,
I thought i had friends,
it turns out they were really cowards in the end.
I thought you got my back,
when im under attack,
did it happen like that,
wheres my real friends at.
They all turned out to be soft in the end,
I guess I was betrayed,
I thought you were my friends.
