If a one thing me hate, a friend killer
In the song "Family" by Jamaican artist Popcaan, he expresses his love and loyalty towards his family, stating that he wouldn't even hurt them, let alone his friends. Popcaan also declares that he knows who his true friends are, those who were there from the beginning of his struggles and hardships. He believes that it is important to remain true to oneself and not be swayed by those who want to bring him down. The song also touches on the theme of trust and the difficulty of finding genuine people in a world filled with fakeness and deceit. Popcaan warns against being tricked or killed by those who claim to be friends but have deceptive intentions. Instead, he values the importance of sticking to his principles and beliefs while also maintaining his faith in God.
