Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
(Before we go [G]any further
Friends) As you call 'em, they call you
when they need some[E]thing
Trees for the bluntin',
to G's for the frontin'
[C]I found a way to get peace of mind
for years and left [E]the hell alone
Turn a deaf ear to the cellular phone
[G]Send me a letter or better,
we could see each other [E]in real life
Just so you could feel me like a steel knife
[C]At least so you could see
the white of their eyes
[E]Bright with surprise,
once they finish spitting lies
As[G]sociates is your boys,
your girls, bitches, nig[E]gas, homies
Close, or really don't know me
[C]Mom, dad, comrade, peeps,
brothers, sisters, [E]duns, dunnies
Some come around
when they need some money
[G]Others make us laugh like the Sunday funnies
[E]Fam be around
whether you paid or bummy
[C]You could either ignore this advice
or take it from me:
[E]Be too nice and people
take you for a dummy
[G]So nowadays, he ain't so friendly
[E]Actually they wouldn’t even
made a worthy enemy
[C]Read the signs: "No feeding the baboons
[E]Seein' as how they got your back
bleeding from the stab wounds
[G]Y'all know the dance,
they smile in your face,
[E]y'all know the glance
Try to put 'em on, they blow the chance
[C]Never let your so-called mans
know your plans
(How many of us have them?)
A show of hands
[G](Friends) is a term some people use loosely
[E]I'm real choosy on what I
choose to let crews see
[C]You telling me I try to act broke
[E]Jealousy the number- one killer
among black folk
[G]Fellas be under some type of spell
like crack [E]smoke
Ghetto Cinderellas lead 'em
right to your stack, loc
[C]Just another way a chick'll lead to your end
[E]I checked the dictionary
for the meaning of friend
It [G]said, "Person one likes to socialize with
[E]Sympathizer, helper",
and that's about the size of it
[C]Most of the time
these attributes is one- sid[E]ed
To bolster the crime,
they're apt to shoot you through your eyelid
and [G]they can't hide it,
going wild like a white [E]bitch
Sometimes you need to cut niggas off
like a light switch (Flick!)
And when things get quiet
[E]Catch 'em like a thief in the night
(Wow!) what a riot
I [G]first met Mr. Fantastik at a arms [E]deal
Don't let it get drastic,
think of how your moms'll [C]feel
When it get for real,
steel get to spark[E]in',
Everything darken, it ain't no talkin'
[G]For somethin' so cheap,
it sure buys a lot of trouble
[E]You're better off focusing
than tryna plot to bubble
Or [C]else it'd be a sad note to end on,
the guns we got is
(Ones we can depend on, [C]friends)
Some come in the form
of co- depen[E]dents
A lot of times only end up
being co-defendants
[C]Ten bucks say they tell
for a lower sen[E]tence
And leave you up under the jail,
begging for repentance
It [C]don't make no sense,
what happened to the loyal[E]ty?
Honor amongst crooks, trust amongst royalty
[C]I'd rather go out in a blaze
than give 'em the glo[E]ry
(How many of us have--) a similar story?
[G](Friends) before lovers,
we used to have some type of o[E]verstanding
Just so when I let her get the man thing
[C]She know it's no strings,
we could do the damn [E]thing
But ho, it's no rings,
just how the tramp swings
[G]Will she see him again? That depends on
[E]"How good was the skins?" and
"Could she memorize the lessons?"
[C]it ain't no need to pretend
E[E]ven though she let him stab it,

[Outro 1]
she know they're just friends
[G]Friends
[E]How many of us have them?
[C]Friends
[E]Ones we can depend on?
[G]Friends
[E]How many of us have them?
[C]Friends
[E]Be fore we go any further
[G][E]
[C][E]
[G][E]
[C][E]
[G]Fel[E]las! Don't be silly!
I know [C]who my friends are!
And the next [E]nice neighborhood
I move into,
you guys'll get crack
[laughter]
(Negro humor always escaped me)
