(Another one) Yeah I stay down with my day one niggas and we in the club screaming

No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new (DJ Khaled!)
Still here with my day one niggas, so you hear me say
No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new
I still ride with my day one niggas, I don't really need
No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new
I stay down from day one so I say fuck all y'all niggas, except my niggas
Fuck all y'all niggas, except my niggas
One more time, fuck all y'all niggas, except my niggas
Fuck all y'all niggas, stay down from day one so I say
(Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at? Started!)

Uh man this shit so ill that we had to restart it
H-town my second home like I'm James Harden
Money counter go burr', when you sellin' out the garden
Four car garage, porn star ménage
Birdman go brrr 'cause he know this shit retarded
Fuck her on the floor before we make it to the bed
That's what your ass really call it started from the bottom, yes lord
O-V-O sound man I'm proud of my niggas,
Knew that we would make it never doubted my niggas
All my bitches love me if I had a baby mama she would probably be richer then a lot of you niggas aye!

Fuck all y'all niggas, except my niggas
One more time fuck all y'all niggas, except my niggas
Fuck all y'all niggas, stay down from day one so I say

Your bitch all in my photographs, ho niggas got hate for me
Big homies all certified, nothing niggas gon' take from me
Follow codes, study game, feed fam' nigga fuck fame
All black my whip foreign, these bad hoes keep tiptoeing
Down in Turks and Caicos, dope boy that's my dress code
All I hug is blood nigga, Khaled that's my flesh tho
All I want is love nigga, money bring that stress though
Smoke good I love life, strip club like e'rry night
E'rry night my same niggas, day one straight menace

Rosé! No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new
Still here with my day one niggas, so you hear me say
No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new (Let's ride)

Fuck all y'all niggas, except my niggas
One more time, fuck all y'all niggas, except my niggas
Fuck all y'all niggas, stay down from day one so I say
(Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at? Started!)

Ugh, I'm here with my niggas, I'm too high to be friendly
They throw dirt on my name, well that's why they still dig me
And I'm tired of all this hating, I thank God for my patience
I thank God for my homies, I wish we could trade places
Bitch we good-fellas, boy all them niggas with you they just pall bearers
And if we ball catch us, remember sip slow, live fast

Fuck them other bitches 'cause I'm down for my bitches

Overall Meaning

The chorus of the song "No New Friends" is a declaration of loyalty to "day one" friends, stating that the artists have no need for new friends. This idea is reinforced by Lil Wayne’s verse, in which he describes his tight "Goodfellas" circle and dismisses any "pall bearers" who might try to hitch a ride on the fame train. DJ Khaled reinforces the idea of loyalty with his own verse, rapping about the importance of following codes, studying the game and staying true to one's own.


The song also touches on themes such as living life to the fullest, enjoying luxury, and keeping it real with one's friends. The artists boast about their wealth and success while staying grounded and loyal to their roots.


In terms of the musicality of the song, "No New Friends" features a pulsing, bass-heavy beat that is typical of many hip-hop songs. The repetition of the chorus creates a catchy hook that is easy to sing along to, and the various verses add to the overall feeling of raw, unapologetic swagger.

Facts

@joedorben3504

Im not even really a Drake fan, but I do too. As much as I think 2011-2013 Drake is extremely overrated and his albums werent anywhere near as good as people make them out to be (not necessarily bad tho), any combination of Drake and any of those guys from 2011-2013 was either a fucking vibe, just straight up fire, or both
