Bebe I got ya
Friends come and go, friends come and go
Go like the seasons
I never know, I never know what to believe in
And it's getting old, it's getting old
But no hard feelings
And I, I've been in L.A. for way too long
Can't get this air inside my lungs
It feels like I'm suffocatin' from all the lack of the realness here
Is there anybody real out here?
Got my middle, middle up while I'm singing
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
Only thing they're good for is leaving
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
I've had it up to the ceiling
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
Only thing they're good for is leaving
And I ain't got the time, money on my mind
I'll say it to your face, fuck fake friends
And lately I've been dealin' with mad stress
Comes with the territory of a Hollywood address
Is anybody real here? I need some fact checks
I need more realness, need you to act less
'Cause they deserve Oscars, so many imposters
What's up with guest lists?
Can I come to your concerts?
We all got demons, I'm dealin' with monsters
I've taken every picture, signed titties and signed shirts
But at the same time I know I'm blessed to be here
So let's just be clear, how many kids wish they had this spot
I got success, it's not a sandy beach chair
Be careful with the people you meet here, I'm sayin'
Uh, yeah
Is there anybody real out here? (G)
Got my middle, middle up while I'm singing (Uh)
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
Only thing they're good for is leaving
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
I've had it up to the ceiling
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
Only thing they're good for is leaving
And I ain't got the time, money on my mind
I'll say it to your face, fuck fake friends
(Yeah)
We don't need 'em
(Bebe, you know I feel you)
And I ain't got the time, money on my mind
Say it to my face, don't pretend
And I ain't got the time, money on my mind
I'll say it to your face, fuck fake friends
And I ain't got the time, money on my mind
Say it to my face, don't pretend
And I ain't got the time, money on my mind
I'll say it to your face, fuck fake friends
Is there anybody real out here?
Got my middle, middle up while I'm singing
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
Only thing they're good for is leaving
Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em

Fuck fake friends, we don't need 'em
Only thing they're good for is leaving
And I ain't got the time, money on my mind
I'll say it to your face, fuck fake friends
In "F.F.F.," Bebe Rexha sings about her distrust for fake friends. She reflects on the transience of friendships in a world of superficiality, especially in a place such as Los Angeles, where fakeness is rampant. She discusses how it feels to be suffocated in L.A., and how it's hard to find authentic people in a society that idolizes fakeness. She wants more realness and less acting, and she demands honesty and authenticity from her friends.
The lyrics are straightforward in their message but powerful in their delivery. With the repetition of the phrase "fuck fake friends," Bebe Rexha communicates her frustration and disillusionment with a world where relationships are often shallow and insincere. The line "And I ain't got the time, money on my mind / I'll say it to your face, fuck fake friends" is a potent statement of self-respect and courage to face confrontations head-on, rather than bottling them up.
Overall, "F.F.F." is a relatable song that speaks to anyone who has faced betrayal or disappointment from friends. It emphasizes the importance of authenticity in relationships and warns against putting on a facade for others.

My "best friend" was using my anxiety disorder to her advantage and used me because I couldn't say no (because of the anxiety). I was her only friend on the block, so she turned all my other friends against me. And now there's a huge group of fake, toxic, fragile friendships because they all became friends... Marlie, Elizabeth, Ryan, Josh, Nicky, and Danny,...
this entire song shows that no matter how hard you try, you won't get to me. Talk about fake freinds... And FrIcK yOu GuYs!!!
