Posted on the block like a lowlife
I like my Fanta with no ice
She said my lifestyle is no nice
But my woody so good it make her blow twice
Ey, why you don't grind, you no like money?
We spend money like we no like money
She love a ugly man making pretty money
And I just wanna get friendly with her
Wanna get friendly with her
You see a big batty, where ya find that?
Make her pull up and rewind that
I just wanna get friendly with her
Wanna get friendly with her
You see a big batty, where ya find that?
Make her pull up and rewind that
I get fried with my jiggas or the bowcats can smoke the roaches
Mister Ugly, what, you didn't notice?
Mister Ugly, even Mama knows this
And I got something for you cock-a-roaches
Them man move janky, you nah I mean?
Them man move fishy like sardine
They wanna watch me while I'm watching Charlene
J-j-jump in the whip and make the car lean
Hey, big batty gyal, good evening
I can see that your chicken needs seasoning (flavour)
Big batty gyal, good evening
I can see that your chicken needs seasoning
Baby, bend over and break your back
Bring your friend over and break your back
The way she bend over and break her back
I nearly fell over and broke my back

In the song "Friendly" by J Hus, he opens with the line "Posted on the block like a lowlife," referring to his presence in the streets or his community. He then goes onto mention his love for Fanta without ice and the fact that he has an attractive partner despite his unattractive appearance. He talks about his affinity for making money and spending it without hesitation, despite criticism from others. But, ultimately, he just wants to be friendly with his love interest and admires her curves, calling her a "big batty gyal."
The chorus is repeated twice in the song and remains consistent in its message of wanting to get friendly with the woman and admiring her physical features. He makes it clear that he has a group of friends who he spends time with, and they smoke and have a good time together. The concept of money is brought up again towards the end of the song, but this time he mentions a woman who only desires his wealth and is unhappy when he cannot deliver. He acknowledges that his appearance is not the best, but he makes sexy money, which is ultimately what people care about.
