Benefit - Friends lyrics

[Verse 1] I was walking down the street, Adidas on my feet This kid started sweating and it wasn't from the heat Started getting real loud, attracting a crowd His boys were all around so I guess it made him proud He kept advancing, and his friends did the same I told the kid that I didn't even know his name But this kid, kept saying what I did And he was real thick just finished his bid He had about 15 of his sons on his side I only had one friend and that was my pride I figured if I hit this kid in the face for talking They'd break both my legs and I wouldn't be walking I'm contemplating this is the situation I'm hating Pretty son my face and the ground will be relating Just then, I looked around them and saw 20 men Heading my direction surrounding Hell yeah, my whole teams coming for me And my team will blow their team out of the category Since I saw all my friends approaching the place I, spit on the b**h and punched him in the face Then his whole crew, beat me black and blue My face had contact with everybody's shoe All my friends stood around watching it happen Nobody even made a slight effort of attacking I could not believe it, I thought I had friends It turns out they were really cowards in the end (Chorus) I thought you had my back When I'm under attack Didn't happen like that Where's my real friends at They all turned out to be soft in the end I guess I was betrayed "I thought you were my friend" [Verse 2] I was f**ing with this girl, and everybody knew it My Dick she always blew it get it get it go to it And that's what I did, and that's how it went down Little did I know that on the other side of town She was dating this guy, by the name of Big Tie Rumor has it that the man stood 10 feet high One day, she called and said come play So I brought 10 friends and try to help them get laid We went to her apartment and everything was all right She started stripping for us not a problem in sight But just then, Big Tie bust in His girl was blushing, and I was flushed then Tie had about 5 men with him Since I had all 10 let the battle begin Before a fight broke out, my friends broke out They said "All right man, we'll catch you later kid no doubt" They ignored my friends and jumped all on me I was out for the count and really bloody They were very hostile, I woke up in the hospital I was told every bone in my body was broke a little All my friends that ran, as fast as they could Just like little b**hes and it wasn't understood They came in the room saying get well good luck I told them get out of here, and shut the f** up I could not believe it, I thought I had friends It turns out that they were really cowards in the end (Chorus) [Verse 3] Once upon a time on a very nice day I was playing ball on the court around the way We got them and started everything was going great I had 7 friends and this kid had 8 This one one kid kept on fouling my man I said please don't do that sh**, understand Then he said all right and laid back low Next thing you know my man caught an elbow I said "Damn son should have listened to the prophet" He said "I'm gonna do it again, you gonna stop it" I looked at my team, then back on him I figured now's about the time to let the beating begin I waited for a second, nobody made a move I'm thinking if a fight breaks out what will it prove? Before I had time to let the beef cook Out of no where I caught a left and a right hook I was still standing, started throwing fist back Lots of blood flying and lots of contact I let go, only had 2 fists to throw Suddenly 16 fists coming, "Oh no" I looked at my friends as I started to fall All I heard was, "Lets go grab the ball" I woke up later stuck to the concrete The blood was all dry, guess I met my defeat I could not believe it, I thought I had friends Turns out they all cowards in the end (Chorus)
