Yea yea yea

Spin the block just to make sure
Got a big crib all paid for

Got beams aimed at ya halo
She gone give me top like hey Lo
Got rubber bands on the bank roll
Type of shit a nigga made for
See spaceships like fabo

"Distant.lo's" song "Friend" is a rap song that celebrates the achievements of the singer and his friends, who have gone from being broke to being successful. The singer brags about the money and material possessions that he and his friends have accumulated, including expensive cars and jewelry. Despite the success, the singer is aware that there are people who may hate on them for their achievements, but they do not care. They only care about their own success and are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain it. The lyrics in the song reflect the stereotypical rap genre, which tends to celebrate wealth and success.
The song’s title, “Friend,” is ironic because there is no mention of friends in the lyrics except for the singer and his group. The lack of mention is because they have risen to the top by themselves, and they do not need anyone else's help or support. The song also provides commentary on friend-foe relations, demonstrating that the singers overly trust their close circle and their money has made them impervious to stranger danger. The song is not about any particular event but draws inspiration from typical life experiences of gangsters ascending the ranks.
