Mecca Rebell - Friends? lyrics

[Hook] The people we surrounded by be our lifeline The company you keep determines how long your time line They either help you fly or pull you down you know Your-life-your-choice depends how far you wan' go fosho Know when to close the do' and say “oh no” Not Hawaii but adventures as exotic don't forget the go pro Just live mang don't bother with the id or superego I got role models but I'm my superhero (yeah!) [First Verse] These s**as you think to be friends talk behind yo' back Always bringin' up yo' flaws mistakes and all that crap The question naturally arises why do you hang 'round these fools? Most of 'em chill withchu just so they get to look cool! You could do so much better for the record I'm not hatin' Of the people who you hang with you are the average rating But you don't see it cause you let their energy mess up Vision from your soul only thing you do see is that flux Of others' opinions and you got none of your own Dependin' on people you like a baby but just grown They commanders who maneuver you like you their drone Don't you see this kind of leadership is nothing but wrong? Anything resembling tyranny has got to get gone Direct the army within be your own Genghis Khan It ain't always pretty life ain't no beauty salon Still no matta' how ugly it gets aye bring it on! [Hook] [Second Verse] Not just talkin' fresh mang I'm speakin' from experience Where hangin' with the wrong crowd had a shroud on my brilliance So I started looking past the appearance in aims to expedience Only givin' clearance to homies with adherence when I started bein' different Yes the transition can be penurious My advice to you nothin' great is achieved without perseverance Let this song serve as interference to obliviousness Not impervious but I wish a s**a would test out my resilience uh Yeah life's unfair but I don't care Cause the beauty's what I focus on So that's what I get from the air It ain't always bad to have something that you lack The absence of negative energy and people prove that So I flow with the river of life Go without lookin' back Swing your wings fly high Regardless how them s**as react Time for rebellion watch, they'll call you hellion Learn from their hate then move on never look back again s**a [Hook] [Third Verse] It's easier than you think to lose basis with who you are Depend too much on other folks then from yourself you get far Ironic punches hurt so yeah you gotta bob and weave In midst of the crowd remember to keep your independence sweet Emit your own instead of absorbin' others' frequencies Emit your own instead of absorbin' others' energies yeah Inspiration is everywhere and it's all free Trick is to just open your mind that's the master key Use it to unlock and open doors you never saw through before When opportunities come take 'em put your foot through the door Walk the walk step firmly yet lightly on the floor I hope you understand just talkin' 'bout it don't work no more Don't stress what others say true power lies in the core Follow Nature and you're rich follow people and you're poor Move on from those who have no interest in helping you soar Your unique experience of this game called life go explore
