I Lost My Friends Lyrics

I lost my friends

To so much

Unnecessary drama

That kept coming around

Around the corner

We didn't want no trouble

We just defended ourselves

The only way we knew how was to fight

I lost my friends

To so many fistfights

That we had when we was younger

Always arguing about nothing

When it was something in the room

Nobody wanted to admit it

So everybody started fighting

Now everybody's shooting everybody

For I got the code

Once you grew up in the hood

Everybody gotta fight

If you don't fight

Everybody get a knife

Or get a bottle

Get something

Some people will go crazy

With the knife

Just watching with the hands

With the hand quick speed

That they come with

I lost my friends

To the chain gang

I lost some good people

That was only genuine and real

Only defended they selves

By catching a few bodies

They didn't wanna do

They said fuck I regret it now

But I said if I didn't do it

My life would be gone

Y'all be crying about me

Having me on a shirt R.I.P

I lost my friends

Some friends I can vent to

About all my problems

Cause they do it to me

So we just vent everything

That we feeling

Even if it's in anger

I just vent everything

To my best friend

When I can't

If he don't answer

I just hit him with a text

Like what's up

What's good

He always tell me

Keep my head up

Think positive

Now don't think negative

Cause you know where you would go

If you think negative

Can't nobody stop you

Can't nobody stop the bull rush

That you turn into

Only see red in your eyes

That's why I tell you to stay high

All the time

Like a Rastafarian

That I am

Only follow the real knowledge of Self

That I wanna do

I lost all my younger friends

To the streets

I lost some good friends

That I only wanted to be brothers With

Cause we had that brother bond

The brother bond

That me and my cousin have

Cause we act the same

On so many things

We see life as another way

Everybody's different

Everybody see it as their own way

So

When I had my first son

Everything came clear to me

Walking in the light

Tryna see everything in my past

I gotta tell him bout it

But not about everything

So when I tell him

I'm just gon tell him

Listen to the songs that I put out

Then you'll get your answers there

Why I love you so much

Cause my life was so fucking crazy

I don't want you to go through Nothing like that

Fight everyday to keep you here

In my arms

Never wanna bury you in a coffin

Like most people gotta do their Children

When they come out and fence

When they come to a teenager stage

Get shot

Always been a victim in the streets

Cause somebody can't get who they Want

So they get an innocent person

They just shoot

Innocent people tell me why they do That

If they scared they scared

Some will fight, some will run, some will shoot

What you expect them to do

I lost so many friends to drama

To the violence of the streets

Of the world that they try to take in

Knew a few friends that popped pills On the regular

Said it made them feel so fucking Numb to the world

All the drama that they had in their Life

They just wanted to numb it and be Free

For the moment when the stress coming their way

Never wanna be stressed in a calm situation

Never thinking bout nothing good

Always thinking bout something bad That's going on
