Fiend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, see them out there
Yo fiend, fuckin mafiaso
If your fucking with no limit
Fiend, big ed, master p and silkk
You fucking with the best
You don't want to fuck with the best
Yo mucha
[fiend]
Chorus
I only fuck with a few
You never know what these niggas'll do
You better choose careful who you call your crew
And do a review on these bitches, before you call em your boo x2
You never know what's goin on with
Some of these hungry ass niggas arrested
And what you got, never allowed the chance to touch it
Was it obvious that nigga ain't die
He was in from the begginning had a piece of the pie
Cause in his eyes, cold like chicago weather
Birds of a feather fuck over together, that's forever
The only change, they accepted when I got him killed
Well they all a time for real over a dollar bill
So now you feel that all street family ain't yours
Receiving cuts and sores because you opened your pores
These niggas ride like volvos, and we ain't talkin bout these whores
Give a section of the beach, nigga surfers gotta swim ashore
If you need more, then take this notion with my devotion
Remember jealousy is a wasted emotion.
Chorus x2
[master p]
I'd rather die hustling then be broke and lonely
Cause most of these niggas out here be phony
Find me on the street corner living my life fast
[big ed]
Remember take a bullet for your homie
[master p]
That's my nigga big ed
[big ed]
See this tru shit nigga I'm a kill for it
When the rents due, ya know I'm a steal for it
Take a ride with my homies if I have to
Keep your eyes on your enemies cause they'll blast you
[master p]
And momma sheds tears cause my homies seen that
Nigga gangbang seen tru up on my chest
To my niggas in jail, stay strong doin time
I thank the lord for taking me out the ghetto with these rhymes
Blood stains on the street cause this ghetto life's a bitch
And that's a shame cause it's bound to change once a niggas rich
Chorus x2
[silkk the shocker]
Come take a ride at, before the game begins
I seen niggas die bad, and they die for pennies
Can't trust nobody seen around my way
Niggas dead, and that's why they ain't around today
See penetentaries, they ain't no place for me
I tell my mom don't trip, just pray for me
And to all the slugs from niggas that have hate for me
Tell my lady I'll take two years don't even wait for me
And see, you never get a second chance to live a first life
That's why I ball till I fall and live the first right
So even though I thug with them, I still ask these niggas
I've seen a lot of cold shit, ? ? ? ? ? been home test if I get ya
I only ride with niggas that I test the water with
Niggas I slang quarters with, slaughter shit, spent the hardest shit
Only trust a few, only trust a few
You fakes, I can't even fuck with you
Chorus x2
The song "Only A Few" by Fiend follows the rapper's clear message of caution to potential associates. The chorus emphasizes the importance of being careful about who to call a crew or a boo, especially in a scenario where dishonesty and betrayal are common. The verses tell stories of betrayal, danger, and street life. In the first verse, Fiend speaks about how some people arrested for not belonging to any word often pretend to be starving to get close to one's possessions. The second verse narrates how some people are happy to take advantage of a friend's death and highlights how street family isn't always reliable. Silkk the Shocker's verse talks about his journey and reminds listeners that they should be cautious about who they share a bond with.
The lyrics convey the idea of trust issues and the difficult balance between loyalty and caution that people need in the ghetto. The song appears to offer a warning about joining and trusting people quickly, and suggests that one should test the water with people before building trust. It is interesting to note how the chorus uses the term "boo," which is slang for a romantic partner, adding another layer of caution to romantic relationships in the ghetto.
Line by Line Meaning
Yo, see them out there
I see those guys out there
Yo fiend, fuckin mafiaso
Hey Fiend, you're a badass
If your fucking with no limit
If you are messing with No Limit
Fiend, big ed, master p and silkk
Fiend, Big Ed, Master P, and Silkk
You fucking with the best
You are dealing with the best
You don't want to fuck with the best
You don't want to mess with the best
Yo mucha
Yo bro
I only fuck with a few
I only associate with a few people
You never know what these niggas'll do
You never know what these guys are capable of
You better choose careful who you call your crew
You better be careful who you call your team
And do a review on these bitches, before you call em your boo
And check these people out before you consider them your friend/partner
You never know what's goin on with
You never know what is happening with
Some of these hungry ass niggas arrested
Some of these desperate guys who got caught
And what you got, never allowed the chance to touch it
And what you have, they never had the chance to experience it
Was it obvious that nigga ain't die
Was it evident that the guy did not die
He was in from the begginning had a piece of the pie
He was involved from the start and had a share of the profits
Cause in his eyes, cold like chicago weather
Because his eyes were cold and unemotional, like the weather in Chicago
Birds of a feather fuck over together, that's forever
People with similar attitudes will always stick together and betray you
The only change, they accepted when I got him killed
The only change they accepted was when I had him killed
Well they all a time for real over a dollar bill
They're all too eager to betray you over money
So now you feel that all street family ain't yours
Now you feel that your street family isn't really yours
Receiving cuts and sores because you opened your pores
Getting hurt because you let your guard down
These niggas ride like volvos, and we ain't talkin bout these whores
These guys move smoothly like Volvo cars, and we're not talking about women
Give a section of the beach, nigga surfers gotta swim ashore
If you give these guys even a little bit of opportunity, they will take advantage of it
If you need more, then take this notion with my devotion
If you need more, then take this message with my dedication
Remember jealousy is a wasted emotion.
Remember that jealousy is a useless emotion.
I'd rather die hustling then be broke and lonely
I would rather die trying to make money than be broke and alone
Cause most of these niggas out here be phony
Because most of these guys out here are fake
Find me on the street corner living my life fast
You can find me on the street corner, living my life quickly
Remember take a bullet for your homie
Remember to take a bullet for your friend
That's my nigga big ed
That's my friend Big Ed
See this tru shit nigga I'm a kill for it
I will kill for this real stuff, my friend
When the rents due, ya know I'm a steal for it
When I need to pay rent, you know I will steal for it
Take a ride with my homies if I have to
I will take a ride with my friends if I need to
Keep your eyes on your enemies cause they'll blast you
Watch out for your enemies because they will attack you
And momma sheds tears cause my homies seen that
And my mom cries because my friends have experienced that
Nigga gangbang seen tru up on my chest
I have a tattoo showing that I am a gang member
To my niggas in jail, stay strong doin time
To my friends in jail, stay strong while serving time
I thank the lord for taking me out the ghetto with these rhymes
I thank God for using my rapping talent to get me out of the ghetto
Blood stains on the street cause this ghetto life's a bitch
There are bloodstains on the street because this ghetto life is tough
And that's a shame cause it's bound to change once a niggas rich
It's a shame because things will change once a person becomes rich
Come take a ride at, before the game begins
Come take a ride with me before the situation gets intense
I seen niggas die bad, and they die for pennies
I have seen guys die horrible deaths, and they died over insignificant amounts of money
Can't trust nobody seen around my way
I can't trust anyone in my neighborhood
Niggas dead, and that's why they ain't around today
Some guys are dead, and that's why they are not here today
See penetentaries, they ain't no place for me
Prisons are not the right place for me
I tell my mom don't trip, just pray for me
I tell my mom not to worry, just pray for me
And to all the slugs from niggas that have hate for me
And to all the bullets from guys who hate me
Tell my lady I'll take two years don't even wait for me
Tell my girl that I'll take a two-year sentence and not to wait for me
And see, you never get a second chance to live a first life
You don't get a second chance to live your first life
That's why I ball till I fall and live the first right
That's why I'll live my life to the fullest and do things right the first time
So even though I thug with them, I still ask these niggas
Even though I live like a thug with them, I still question these guys
I've seen a lot of cold shit, ? ? ? ? ? been home test if I get ya
I've seen a lot of harsh things, and if you mess with me, you'll experience them too
I only ride with niggas that I test the water with
I only hang out with guys I have developed a level of trust with
Niggas I slang quarters with, slaughter shit, spent the hardest shit
Guys I sell drugs with, guys who are tough and unyielding
Only trust a few, only trust a few
I only trust a few people
You fakes, I can't even fuck with you
I can't even associate with fake people like you
Chorus x2
