City High
Best Friend
[Robby (Ryan)]
(What's up my nigga?)
Heh, chillin' yo
(What's up man, ya ready to go? Come on!)
Naw yo, you just go ahead
(Wifey got you buggin' again)
Pshh, I just don't understand, ya know
(Understand what man? Huh?)
She ain't talkin' to me son
(Word)
Yo I need you to do me a favor yo
(What?)
You gotta call her homie
(What'chu want me to call her for)
You gotta tell her for me
(Tell her what man)
That I love her so strongly
(Why don't you just tell her yourself)
Cause she won't listen to me now
(Damn)
Without love in my heart
I might as well be dead
(Hold up, hold up, you ain't gonna be killin' yourself nigga)
So can you help me out?
You're the only one who cares
[Ryan (Claudette)]
Yo shorty
I just got off the phone with Robbie
He told me to come talk to you
(Yeah, bout what?)
He said y'all having problems
And you left him, now he's all confused
(Man, so what?)
Now girl why you buggin?
You know you was made for him
And him for you
I ain't trying to butt in
I just wanna be a friend
And he asked me to call you
[1] - You gotta call her homie
And tell her for me
That I love her strongly
She won't listen to me
Without love in my heart
I might as well be dead
Please help me now
You're the only who cares
You gotta call her homie
And tell her for me
That I'm really sorry
She won't listen to me
Without love in my heart
I might as well be dead
Please help me now
You're the only who cares
[Ryan]
Hmm, girl this thing has gone on, long enough
Can't you see
The true reason that you left him
Baby is cause of me, whoa
He would be real surprised
To find that I'm the new apple of your eye
What kind of friend am I?
To take advantage of - my best friend's trust
[Repeat 1]
[Claudette (Robby)]
If you wanna know
Why I did - what I did
(Tell me why did you do it)
I got tired of being alone
While you was out trickin'
(Who told you I was trickin?)
I guess female dogs can't learn tricks too
You see I'm not the bitch, baby payback is
And what you did came back to you, oh
[Repeat 1 till end]
The song "Best Friend" by Saseline tells the story of a man, Robbie, who is having problems with his girlfriend and asks his best friend to tell her that he loves her so strongly. The best friend agrees to do so, but then reveals that he is actually the reason for the problems in Robbie's relationship - he has been seeing his best friend's girlfriend behind his back. The lyrics depict the betrayal and hurt caused by such a situation, with the best friend realizing he has taken advantage of his friend's trust and the girlfriend justifying her infidelity as payback for his own bad behavior.
The first verse sets up the situation, with Robbie asking his best friend to help him out because his girlfriend won't talk to him. The second verse reveals that the best friend is actually seeing the girlfriend himself, and he asks Ryan to help him by calling her and telling her that he loves her and is sorry. The chorus is a plea for help, with Robbie acknowledging that he feels dead inside without love and that Ryan is the only one who can help him.
In the bridge, Ryan reveals that the real reason the girlfriend left Robbie is that she has feelings for him instead. He acknowledges that he has not been a good friend and has taken advantage of Robbie's trust. The girlfriend justifies her actions by saying she got tired of being alone and that Robbie's own bad behavior brought the situation upon himself.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of betrayal, heartbreak, and the complicated nature of relationships and loyalty.
