Friend
P. Diddy & The Bad Boy Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's more than a dime, she's a dub
Damn I'm in love
Hit it from the house to the club
Keep my mind on her
Spend my last dime on her
She bring me to cloud nine when my ass climb on her
Can see she make the picture clear
Just like Time Warner
Treat her like the car
The way that I ride on her
She helped me focus in
Get my rhymes right too
And my mind right too
That's why she shine through

I gotta quit
I gotta get this chick up out my system
She's no good for me
All of my dogs wanna hit her
Right after I'm with her
I eat then I fall asleep
And it's gettin' costly
Lately all I've been banging is the chicks that come to see
But shorty she's a dime
In fact that girl's a dub
And I think I'm falling in love
She gets me all chocked up
I can barely catch my breath
Don't want to pass her around
I keep her to myself
You see she's gives me stimulation
And nobody's messing up our rotation
Although I think it's big
And you better believe
Nobody's blazing it up but me

I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I ain't talking about nicotine
Y'all know what I mean
Just call me a fiend
I'm just a addict for your love, I've got to have it all your love
I can't let it go
I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend

I twist her up, pull her to me real slow (so slow)
Let the taste of a chocolate make my eyes get low
But she burns through my paper so fast
Gotta make it last
Hate to watch them Swisha sweets walk past
When my personal stash get low
Then it's back to the block tryna find her
Surely she's a dime
In fact that girls a dub
And I think I've fallin' in love
She gets me all chocked up
I can barely catch my breath
Don't want to pass her around
I keep her to myself
You see she's gives me stimulation
And nobody's messing up our rotation
Although I think it's big
You better believe
Nobody's blazing it up but me

I need a first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I'm not talking nicotine
You all know what I mean
I'm just a addict for your love, I've got to have it all your love
I can't let it go
I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend
I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I ain't talking about nicotine
Y'all know what I mean
I'm just a addict for your love, I've got to have it all your love
I can't let it go
I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend

I'm a fiend for her
Go to sleep wit a dream of her
Wake up, grind hard, get cream for her
Play the whip on a lean wit her
Just in case I don't make it home
I'ma leave a team with her
Me and her been down since her head was round
I went to every party in town and bought her a round
And now she get lose with it
Her heads purple and green but she looks cute with it
And I ain't mad at her
I let the team take a stab at her
I bring her home all alone and then pack her bags for her
We can do it all night, right?
Wake up and do it all day
All we needs a light bright

Letting her go
Is gunna be a slow process
One kiss from her lips took the stress up off my chest
Riding shot gun, body tight, couldn't hold it in
Had to park and spark it up again
And I swear she left her heaven scent in the air
All in my clothes, all in my hair
(She has my head in her )
Y'all know what I'm talking about

I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I ain't talking about nicotine
Y'all know what I mean
I'm just a addict for your love, I've got to have it all your love
I can't let it go
I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend
I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend




And I ain't talking about nicotine
Y'all know what I mean

Overall Meaning

In P. Diddy & The Bad Boy Family's song Friend, the lyrics describe a love for a particular substance, which is quite ambiguous. The lyrics playfully rhyme "dime" and "dub" to describe the worth of the substance in question, which could possibly be marijuana. The artist suggests that this substance brings him pleasure at all times, in every situation, including the club and the comfort of his own home. He describes the substance as a source of inspiration, helping him to write rhymes and focus his mind. The artist expresses his attachment to this substance, using addiction metaphors and references to being a fiend. He speaks of how it's hard to let it go, often spending his last dime to obtain it. However, he also hints at possible negative aspects, such as the increasing cost of the substance, the sense of sharing her with others, and the feeling of bondage and loss of control to her.


Overall, the song Friend is a playful confession of a love for a substance that brings pleasure, inspiration, and moments of escape. The lyrics present a fascinating weave of addiction metaphors, humor, wordplay, and innuendos. However, the song can also be seen as a commentary on the dangers and potential negative effects of addiction, and the danger of attachment.
