True Friend
Demarco Lyrics

Demarco dem seh yo, yuh a deportee (haha)
People say you are a deportee and that's funny to them

Dem seh yuh come from foreign an yuh nahave nuh money
They say you come from abroad but you are broke

Yuh bruck like dog (haha)
They say you are as broke as a dog

Dem seh yuh a iron balloon
They say you are a hopeless case

Yo dem seh yuh nah reach nuh weh (haha)
They say you won't ever make it, and they find that amusing

Mi laugh wid dem
I laugh with them

A psychs man a use cause a craw fist dem
They are just using jokes, which are as meaningless as crawfish's fists

Wah stab we wid dem claw cause a craw fish dem
They use claws like a crawfish to stab people

Prosperity mi want cause mi nah wish dem no bad
I am not wishing them bad, just hoping to prosper in life

Ghetto youths dem fi rich and drive Jag
I wish that young people in the ghetto would get rich and have nice cars

Yuh kno how far me and mi real true fi we a trod
You know how much we have been through as real friends

Cause loyalty we nuh inna nuh body bag
We value loyalty, and we won't end up betraying or hurt each other

Mi believe inna God
I believe in God

You can see a man's face
A man's emotions are usually visible and can be seen easily

But yuh can't see his heart
But you can't see what's in his heart, what he thinks or intends to do

Bun dem an dem evilous thoughts
Curse those who have evil thoughts and intentions

Dem badmind ways
Their envious and jealous ways

Cyaa tear you apart
Cannot hurt or destroy you

Soh buss a shot fi yuh true friend (blop )
Salute your loyal and true friends

Buss a shot fi yuh real friend (blop )
Salute your real friends

Nah dash weh nuh old fi nuh new friend
Don't discard old friends for new ones

Mi haffi big up all mi friend dem, mi friend dem eva dere
I have to respect all my friends, the ones who have always been there

Mi get a one food, yea di food haffi share
If I have food, I share it with my friends

Mi tell dem seh we a go get rich fi dis year
I tell them that we will get rich this year

Weh dem did deh when we a bounce inna one pair
Where were they when we were struggling together in our old shoes

A shoes, yuh real true friend yuh nuffi use
You shouldn't discard a real friend just because he wears old shoes

And if him tell yuh something try nuh carry back nuh news
If he tells you something, don't spread it around

A di rules, deception mek couple fools
It's the rules: deception makes people look foolish

So carefully watch di friends you choose
So be careful when choosing friends

Big up mi true friend, now a days dem cyaa find
Respect to my true friend, who is rare to find these days

Mi will do without spend my last dime
I will do anything to help him, even if it means spending all the money I have left

When mi did need it, him help mi di last time
When I needed help, he was there for me

So when mi war, evil nuh come cross mine
So when I am fighting, no one will come against me

From preschool straight back to class nine
We have been friends since preschool to high school

Mi memba when we buss di first fiber glass nine
I remember when we broke the first fiberglass bike wheel

We quick fi buss a head, If dem try fi cross line
We were quick to fight back if someone stepped over the line

Mi true friend indeed, dem a di last kind
My true friend is a rare breed
