FAKE FRIENDS
C.S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bang, shots fired
Pain, is what you desire
The pen is mightier than the sword
Than how did we get here my god
(My god)
So you wanna start a war (My god)
So you wanna start a war (My god)
Bang bang I can do the same thing
Best to walk away cuz you strolling through the flame can't
Say I didn't warn ya, this ain't paranoia
Prolly need a lawyer, truth is what I'm sworn to
Adorn your grave with every gift you gave
You wont have shit to say may-be its legit to say
That I'm doing you a favor to pave your way
You aim and pray while I cave your brains
Full of space did I miss oh wait
There it is like a shriveled grape
The only thing you fit in to's race
I'm at a pace set your shins ablaze
Its fuckin simple stay in your lane
Except you're into pain I should rethink this man
You're fuckin senseless came in defenseless
Tryna win a fight with me what'd you bring you're penless
Been this way forever and you say you'll never change
Ill equipped to weather even a featherweight exchange
What's the consensus man it's hard to see
My armies just me against my god's decree
Didn't have to be this way but since it targets me I hardly could embargo beef
It's so hard to leave in peace but do the peaceful sleep
The ignorant bear the scent of sheep
While the teeth of beasts remain stained and the trees deceased
I'm at war with the poor the peaks of the elites to the shores the beach of Mordor and the hordes of freaks with the belief they could absorb a brief
For sure relief from the source of heat tryna carpe diem so it can veni vidi ci
Until my corpse releases me from this can't keep a force complete
So of course you'd wanna go to war with me
Said your sword is weak I resurrect at death the stork breeds the next it repeats that's what the fortune reads
Bang, shots fired
Pain, is what you desire
The pen is mightier than the sword
Than how did we get here my god
(My god)
So you wanna start a war
Remember who was there for you
Who do you think you are
You were never there for me
I tried to raise the bar
You just wanted me to stay in this war
You didn't listen to my shit
No likes from you misfit
To busy smoking weed, living life on borrowed credit
Hoping I get big just so I can drop down a rope
You didn't care about me, you left me with no hope
No support from anyone, don't blame your horoscope
Remember all those tracks you wanted to be on
Trying to pull a con
Asking to hop on but never hitting record, I won't be your pawn
I bet you won't even hear this song
After The Boys dropped you didn't even reach out, to busy with the bong
The Unwinding I was weak, your bullshit made me strong
You told me I wouldn't make it
Paying for this shit out of pocket
No loan or shoulder from anyone when I started to spit
You put me in last so you were gonna get it first
Listen to me tear you down, now I'm well versed
Raps in my blood, always been immersed
Studying the dictionary
Grandma helping me flow without getting gimmicky
Just doing it hatefully
Throw shade back, talk shit, I do it guiltlessly
It hurts me I tried to give you a chance
But I saw through the bullshit when I hit enhance
We talked about taking the music all the way to France
Didn't want to wait around for it to happen by circumstance
I wanted to pull you up with me
But you wouldn't pull your weight
When it was time to work you'd flee
When I needed someone to listen
You went missing
I saw it every time, my soul felt eaten
My trust getting beaten
Don't ever question my loyalty again
Bang, shots fired
Pain, is what you desire
The pen is mightier than the sword
Than how did we get here my god
(My god)




So you wanna start a war (My god)
So you wanna start a war (My god)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to C.S's song "Fake Friends" describe the frustration and hurt caused by a relationship with a friend who has, essentially, become an enemy. The song starts with shots fired and pain being desired, creating a sense of conflict and aggression. C.S then speaks to the power of words over physical violence, asking how such a conflict came to be. He warns his adversary that engaging in a battle with him will ultimately lead to their downfall. C.S describes his willingness to fight until the bitter end, and that he believes he is doing his opponent a favor by paving their way to defeat.


The lyrics go on to describe the dynamic of the relationship between the two friends turned foes. C.S accuses his former friend of not being there for him and attempting to hold him back. He raps about his struggle to make it, while his former friend merely hoped to reap the benefits without putting in any work. C.S talks about his disappointment and hurt over the lack of support from anyone in his life at the beginning of his career, and how the betrayal by his former friend has only fueled his fire.


The song tells a story of C.S's journey from adversity to triumph, with the theme of betrayal running throughout. Despite the hurt caused, the song's ultimate message is one of resilience and strength in the face of those who seek to hold us back.
