Raphael Saadiq - If I Had No Loot lyrics

[Intro] If the shoe fits I want you to wear it and wear it good [Verse 1] Talking 'bout them times when I was by myself I would always be looking for somebody else But, as time went on, I had a talk with my mind Friends like you and you I gotta leave behind [Chorus] And so, you call me your friend But you only want my ends And I'll never see you if I had no loot (I'll never see them) I'm just glad I know the truth And I'm paying my own bills And I'll never ever depend on you [Verse 2] Friends and enemies around me every day I can't believe half the things they say Taking me for granted giving no credit at all I'll just keep bouncing like a bouncing ball Everybody seems to disappear on me Can't trust no one as far, as I can see If I could be that fly that's on the wall Listening to my friends talk about it all [Chorus] You call me your friend But you only want my ends And I'll never see you if I had no loot (I'll never see them) I'm just glad I know the truth And I'm paying my own bills And I'll never ever depend on you Sons of Soul, y'all [Guitar Solo] I don't mean to step on nobody's foot, but ah - [Verse 3] When I need somebody there's nobody to call When they need me, my phone rings off the wall But these are my friends, and that's what they say Constantly taking from me every day You say... [Chorus] You call me your friend But you only want my ends And I'll never see you if I had no loot (I'll never see them) I'm just glad I know the truth And I'm paying my own bills And I'll never ever depend on you Sons of Soul, y'all [Bridge] [Chorus x2] You call me your friend But you only want my ends And I'll never see you if I had no loot (I'll never see them) I'm just glad I know the truth And I'm paying my own bills And I'll never ever depend on you
