Some might ask why it took so long to produce only 8 songs, but the most interested will aim their questions toward the "copyleft" concept of this album. So to the first question the answer is: " Hey... we all have jobs, and Mr. No's not it for any of us!"

The second question deserves a longer explanation: After our first two albums, after paying for studio time, graphic design, booklet printing and CD duplication, we realized that boxes full of unsold albums were pretty much a waste (of money and also of basement rehearsal space). By that time, mp3s had long been exchanged on the web and the record industry was starting to figure out that making plastic donuts wouldn't be as profiting as it used to be... so we decided to call ahead and released Why can't we share? in 2002 on our website. Costs: close to 0$? now that's democracy!

Mr. No believes in DYI and the producing, recording, mixing and mastering of L, L... L were assumed by the band itself... no one else to blame if you hate it.

L, L... L tackles issues such as the current American administration (After all), women's conditions in some extremist beliefs (Dusk), war and media manipulation (Stronger enshrined) and also a song about Quebec's well-known radio-host/asshole Jeff Fillion (On-air).

So download it, listen to it, share it and f*** with it. Its not only ours... it's yours too.

Lu diamond nigga
Fuck they think it is
I know I ain't got not friends really
Niggas only friendly cause the fear me
And niggas only close cause they know the blessings overflow when near me
I see through the sucka shit clearly
If you really wanna know say hop off in my world and feel this envy
Or hop off in my head and see these memories

These niggas think I'm slow but when ya Call'em out they get offended
So I'm gone let these niggas keep pretending if you really wanna know
I been on the block with my niggas in the spot with my niggas
I was right there with you way before the bread huh
You know how I rock lil nigga I'll mop me nigga
Foe the fed system we be going fed huh
From the sandbox lil nigga to the top lil nigga
Ride or die forever ain't that what you said huh
Then you turned opp on a nigga went cop on a nigga
Burnt that bridge up so you know you niggas dead huh
Then you got hot off a nigga tried to profit off a nigga
Off the hard work and blood that I done shed huh
That's when I went pac on these niggas up my stock on these niggas
Guess its time for me to paint the city red huh
I gave all I got to my niggas I am not one off them niggas
You gone play with I'm gone bust you fucking head huh
I can't even lock with my niggas
Cause I don't want to get the shit mis-read bruh cause I know what it is
I know I ain't got not friends really
Niggas only friendly cause the fear me
And niggas only close cause they know the blessings overflow when near me
I see through the sucka shit clearly
If you really wanna know say hop off in my world and feel this envy
Or hop off in my head and see these memories
These niggas think I'm slow but when ya Call'em out they get offended
So I'm gone let these niggas keep pretending if you really wanna know
I know I cant trust these niggas still they in my call log
I know I can't trust these bitches still I hit them raw dog
I lost trust for niggas on the day that I got hauled off
I lost love when I called niggas phones and they was all off
I know niggas plotting wishing waiting for me to fall off
Niggas had predictions on my return they was all off
I know when the vibe ain't in the room man I can feel yeah
I know niggas coming with emotions that ain't really there
Niggas posted round me and they smiling like we family
I know deep inside these motherfucker they can't stand me
Way these niggas acting round this bitch they need a grammy
But I already expected that that's why I wrote a plan C
Bitches say they love me but they just love what I do for'em
When you tell the truth these bitches be like hey you too forward
Times like this I isolate and pour me up a deuce for it
Cut them off and move forward nigga what you saying
I know I ain't got not friends really
Niggas only friendly cause the fear me
And niggas only close cause they know the blessings overflow when near me
I see through the sucka shit clearly
If you really wanna know say hop off in my world and feel this envy
Or hop off in my head and see these memories
These niggas think I'm slow but when ya Call'em out they get offended
So I'm gone let these niggas keep pretending if you really wanna know
Yeah lu diamond nigga

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mr. No's song "Friend" tell the story of someone who is content with their current friendships and is focused on their own personal journey. However, they are approached by someone new who constantly asks them to "hook up" and "hang out." After some resistance, the singer gives in and begins to explore a new friendship, one that allows them to experiment and touch the boundaries, like a "little kitty's whiskers" cautiously. While the singer initially questions the new friendship, they eventually realize that they have found a new friend and introduce them to others.

The song is a reflection on the nature of friendship and what it means to make new connections. It highlights the awkwardness and uncertainty that can come with meeting someone new but also celebrates the excitement and possibilities that a new friendship can bring. The line "mind my own business, I'm on my journey" suggests that the singer is focused on their own personal growth and development. However, it is the unexpected interruption of a new friendship that leads them to new discoveries and experiences.
