Napoleon Da Legend - Faux Friends lyrics

[Verse 1] Life's a journey that's strange Attorney's trained to take your money Friends acting funny like what Bernie Mac say Back in the day we used to have a dollar and a dream Dead broke inside the metro Plotting in the scene then the money came and the things Changed magazine dames articles in magazine's praise pressure surface like tats in the arms of Jean Grae Green berets in the trenches stretching out my friendships Stressing and my facial expression cannot conceal Ain't got time to an*lyze what the next man feel Want us to think the solution's in a Xanax pill Word to Guru get the ma** appeal and cash in the mils Then you symbolize success to em They don't see the rest to it used to say let's do it they didn't Want to step to it now your middle name is money gram and Western union where's the party where's the groupies everything except for music It's all about the dollars they peeking inside your wallet followers grow Money flow grows like anabolics Who got your best interest in mind only a few cause There's benefits they're getting from a**ociating with you They asking for favors that they wouldn't do for you Doesn't make sense when you put together two and two When they need you it's urgent and your there on the dot When you need them that's when they're going through a lot Got the nerve to wonder why nobody can trust you cause4 don't nobody love you till everybody love you You in the dark used it as a shelter from the light So what's the meaning of a true friendship in life [Chorus] Breath like a Pharaoh inhale the pain You will learn to succeed and to fail is the same Time stand still but the people will change The wheel keeps turning but the real shall remain [verse 2} Pain and agony trying hard not to be a casualty casually Dodging bullets in alleys like athlete Keeping faith in where my path leads my capacity to handle Stress with hands more or less tied in back of me Women with dreams of living happily ever after walking down the alter with a pastor there to trap me Used to indifferent now they acting more aggressive But now I'm more selective so I plot and make my exit See DMX said it so now I do the math Remember when I told a joke and chickens didn't laugh Topic of the conversation what I did or didn't do they see You doing this and that now they interested in you Strange G tables turn now they spitting game at me Getting frustrated cause I caught a case of ADD Claiming to be something they not capable to be they don't back in the day I tried saving two or three But they don't wanna be saved Project Pat taught me that So save your sh** for a colostomy bag Studying reality show to teach you how to react Love and Hip-hop baby there's not love when you plot You want the lifestyle hotel rooms and night gowns with the lights down you wanna be my wife now Shortcut seeker rubbing on my low-cut ceasar You sure what? Thought you was a diva 10 stroke deep inside her gut before I leave her have her sniffing for my trail like a golden retriever See you when I see you as I skate through the night What's the meaning of a relationship in your life
