Real Friends
Silent But Deadly Lyrics

Real friends, how many of us!?
How many of us are truly, genuinely friends?

How many of us, how many jealous? Real friends!
Out of us who claim to be friends, who is really happy for others' success and who is jealous?

It's not many of us, we smile at each other
Actually, there are not many of us who are true friends although we might pretend to be friendly.

But how many honest? Trust issues
Do we really have trust in each other? How many of us are truly honest with each other?

Switched up the number, I can't be bothered
I've lost interest in keeping up with how many fake friends I have.

I cannot blame you for havin' an angle
I understand that you have your own motives and interests.

I ain't got no issues, I'm just doin' my thing
I don't have any particular problems, I'm just living my life.

Hope you're doin' your thing too
I hope you're happy with your own life as well.

I'm a deadbeat cousin, I hate family reunions
I'm not the best family member, I don't enjoy family gatherings.

Fck the church up, I'm drinkin' at the communion
I'm rebelliously drinking wine meant for a religious sacrament.

Spillin' free wine, now my tux is ruined
I have carelessly damaged my formal attire with the wine I've spilled.

In town for a day, what the fuck we doin'?
I'm only here for a short amount of time, what are we going to do with our limited time together?

Who your real friends? We all came from the bottom
Out of everyone we know, who can we really trust? We all came from humble beginnings.

I'm always blamin' you, but what's sad, you're not the problem
I tend to blame you for things that are out of your control, which is unfortunate because you're not actually the issue.

Damn I forgot to call her, shit I thought it was Thursday
I've forgotten to call someone and now realize my mistake thinking that today was a different day.

Why you wait a week to call my phone in the first place?
Why did you wait a whole week before finally calling me?

When was the last time I remembered a birthday?
I can't recall the last time I remembered someone's birthday.

When was the last time I wasn't in a hurry?
I can't remember the last time I had free time and wasn't in a rush for something.

Tell me you want your tickets when it's gametime
Let me know in advance if you want tickets to a game or event.

Even to call your daughter on her FaceTime
I'll even make time to video call your daughter.

Even when we was young I used to make time
Even when we were younger, I would try to prioritize spending time with you.

Now we be way too busy just to make time
Nowadays we're all too busy to find time for each other.

I guess I get what I deserved on 'em
I guess I'm getting what I deserve for not being a better friend to them.

Word in the streets is they ain't heard from him
People have been saying that they haven't heard from me, which is likely due to my lack of effort to keep in touch.

Talked down on my name, throwed dirt on him
People have been gossiping about me and saying negative things to each other.

I couldn't tell you how old your daughter was
I don't even know how old your daughter is.

Couldn't tell you how old your son is
I don't know how old your son is either.

I got my own Jr. on the way, dawg
I have a child of my own on the way.

Plus I already got one kid
I already have one child.

Couldn't tell you much about the fam though
I don't know much about our family.

I just showed up for the yams though
I only showed up for the food (yams) and not really to spend time with family.

Maybe 15 minutes, took some pictures with your sister
I only spent a short amount of time there and took some photos with your sister.

Merry Christmas, then I'm finished, then it's back to business
I only came by to say Merry Christmas and then I'm done, it's back to my work and priorities.

You wanna ask some questions 'bout some real shit?
Do you want to have an honest conversation about more serious matters?

Like I ain't got enough pressure to deal with
I already have enough stress and pressure to handle on my own.

Please don't pressure me with that bill shit
Please don't pressure me to pay any bills or debts right now.

Cause everybody got 'em, that ain't children
Because everyone has bills and that's not something only children should worry about.

Oh you've been nothin' but a friend to me
You've been a true friend to me and I appreciate that.

Niggas thinkin' I'm crazy, you defendin' me
People are calling me crazy, but you're defending my actions and decisions.

It's funny I ain't spoke to niggas in centuries
It's ironic that I haven't spoken to some people in ages.

To be honest, dawg I ain't feelin' your energy
Honestly, I'm not feeling your vibe or energy right now.

Money turn your kin into an enemy
Money has the ability to turn family members into enemies.

Niggas ain't real as they pretend to be
People aren't as genuine or sincere as they seem.

Lookin' for all my real friends
I'm searching for all my true friends.

How many of us are real friends
Out of everyone I know, how many of us are genuinely friends?

To real friends, to the real end
Here's to our true friends, until the very end.

'Til the wheels fall off, 'til the wheels don't spin
Until the very end, no matter the circumstance or situation.

To 3 A.M., callin'
To even calling at 3 in the morning just to see how you're doing.

How many real friends?
Out of everyone we know, how many of us can truly consider someone a real friend?

Just to ask you a question
Just to check in and ask how you're doing.

For the last you was frontin'
For a while now you've only been pretending or acting like a friend.

I hate when a nigga text you like, "what's up, fam, oh you good?"
I don't like it when someone sends a casual text but then immediately asks for something.

You say, "I'm good" then great, next day they ask you for somethin'
As soon as you reply positively, they immediately ask for a favor or something else.

What's best for your family, immediate or extended
What's more important to you, taking care of immediate family or extended family?

Any argument, the media'll extend it
If there's any disagreement or argument, the media will blow it up and make it bigger than it needs to be.

I had a cousin that stole my laptop that I was fuckin' bitches on
I had a cousin who stole a laptop that I used to have sex with multiple partners.

Paid that nigga 250 thousand just to get it from him
I paid him 250 thousand dollars just to get the laptop back from him.
