Best Friend
50 Cent Lyrics

Yeah
Expression of enthusiasm and eagerness.

It's my tape, man Listen to my tape (I've waited, I've waited Time went by All I could do is cry Silly, silly)
Inviting the listener to experience the music, while also acknowledging the anticipation and emotional struggle that went into creating it.

If I was your best friend I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round me all the time) Girl, I'll be your best friend If you promise you'll be mine (girl, promise you'll be mine) Please say he's just a friend (uh-huh) Now, girl, let's not pretend (come on) Either he is or he ain't your man (haha) Please say he's just a friend I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round all the time)
Expressing desire to be more than just friends, with a hint of jealousy towards the girl's relationship with another man.

First we get to talkin', then we get to touchin' If we get past the phone games we'll be fuckin'
Outlining the progression of a potential physical relationship, with a focus on overcoming any obstacles in communication.

I kiss like the French do, put my tongue in your ear Do it like the dogs do it, girl, and pull on your hair
Describing his intimate approach and preferences.

For me, a different scenery just mean a different position In the tub or on the sink, I improvise, now listen In the chopper or on the jet, join the mile high club
Discussing his adaptability and versatility in different settings, including a desire for spontaneous and risky encounters.

I'm no fool, I know money can't buy me love But I'ma different type of nigga that make sure that you know Instead of a rose, there's a hundred dozen of those See I see somethin' special when I look in your eyes
Acknowledging the limitations of wealth in love, but presenting himself as a thoughtful and generous partner who values his connection with the girl.

With your legs way back, I see this pussy is mine If you ain't sure when I'm talkin', I don't tell you no lies But there's things that you say that have me wonderin' why
Expressing his sexual dominance and confidence, while also noting his confusion over some of the girl's actions or words.

When I don't say what I'm thinkin' it don't mean that I'm shy Got on that shit you picked out for me, that's why I'm so fly
Assuring the girl that his silence doesn't reflect shyness or lack of interest, while also complimenting her fashion sense.

While you in your bubble bath, I'll come wash on your back When you're puttin' on your lotion, I can help you with that I sit and think of things to say that may make you smile Or give you gifts from my heart to reflect my style
Demonstrating his willingness to take care of the girl, not just in a sexual context, but also as a provider of emotional support and thoughtful gifts.

The slang I use when we build may change how you talk And if I'm focused when I'm strokin', I could change how you walk That's the swagger that you come with when you come from New York I'm a hustler, I just hustle in the things that I bought
Recognizing his influence over the girl's language and behavior, possibly through exposure to his lifestyle and personality. Also, emphasizing his background as a hustler, but with a focus on acquiring material possessions.

Separate me from the rest, I feel like I'm the best If there's a price to pay for feelin' you, I'll pay that twice I'm as ghetto as it gets, girl, you know that's right I ain't got nothin' to hide, baby, I'll tell you my secrets
Confidently asserting his superiority over other potential partners, while also expressing a willingness to invest in the relationship. Acknowledging his street background, but refusing to hide or be ashamed of it.

'Fore you end up being 'round long enough to peep shit I get closer to you, I mean closer than close I get into you, after I take off my clothes Girl, I've been into you, mentally long before
Warning the girl not to spy or pry into his life, while also expressing a level of emotional investment and connection beyond just a physical attraction.
