Brandon "The Crow" Lee - Fake Friends lyrics

Uh, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah It's Brandon "The Crow" Lee Uh, uh, uh, yeah, yeah Trust gets you k**ed, love gets you hurt and being real gets you hated. People get fake when sh** gets real. Fake people: Once they stop talking to you, they start talking about you. I got trust issues because people got lying issues. Loyal to those who are loyal to me. We don't lose friends. We just learn who our real friends are. I hate when people judge you and they don't even know you. Lot of people are going through pains. Silent struggles. Check on people once in a while. Ask if they're okay. You might save someones life. Some people make your life better by walking into it, while other people will make your life better by simply walking out of it. Uh, friends mean something. Yeah, F.R.I.E.N.D.S: (F)ight for you. (R)espect you. (I)nvolve you.(E)ncourage you. (N)eed you. (D)eserve you. (S)ave you. Sometimes it's a good thing to have fake people in this world. It helps you find out who your real friends are. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Haters will broadcast your failure, but whisper your success. People change, feelings fade, things go wrong, memories remain but life goes on. People come and go, but life is simply about seeing who cares enough to stay. If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you couldn't do. Distance yourself from people who: 1) Lie to you. 2) Disrespect you. 3) Use you. 4) Put you down. People will change, memories won't. Always keep it real. We rise by lifting others. People can't change the truth but the truth can change people. There is no next time, no time outs, and no second chances. Sometimes, it's now or never. Imagine what we could all accomplish if we just stopped the hate, and started loving and respecting each other. I'm not going to change for anyone, I don't care what people think, because I am me, and proud of it. This is the antinomy: Insofar as we believe in morality we pa** sentence on existence. Have you ever noticed that when people say you've changed it's just because you've stopped living your life their way? Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Remind yourself that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing. Friendship isn't about who you have known the longest. It's about who came and never left your side. People change for two reasons. They've learned a lot, or they have been hurt too many times. People like to bring up your past when they are intimidated by your present. Nobody is ever "too busy", if they're interested they'll make time. You don't need to know how they are doing. Do yourself a favor and don't stay updated on people who aren't good for you. A person who chases two rabbits catches neither #stayfocused. Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth. Never apologize for how you feel. It's like saying sorry for being real. Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you" and proved it. Know your circle... Make sure everybody in your "boat" is rowing and not drilling holes when you're not looking. It's easy to tell who really cares about you and who doesn't. Distance yourself from: 1 complainers, 2 cynics, 3 arrogance, 4 negativity. Openly welcome: 1 optimism , 2 laughter, 3 joyful work , 4 happiness. Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned. I only rap about myself because I don't have friends Brandon "The Crow" Lee I'm gone
