Friends Close Lyrics

I keep my friends close, my enemies closer but I keep this heat too

I'm peaking over each shoulder, reach for me

I'll make sure that they leave the scene leaned over

Slumped out, gun sounds, that's what he get for tryna be a soldier

Boy, your momma should have told you "Don't approach strangers"

Unless you wanna end up brainless, found out the hard way instead

I'm always prepared, keep on in the head

And now he got one in his, guess life is a bitch, huh?

Funny thing is, it was never supposed to happen

If he was raised right, he wouldn't have turned me into an assassin

But it's too late, today he remains just a face on a Hanes

And if I had to do it again then I wouldn't change a thing

I play the game and they can't hang but, see, me, I be dangling

I'm just saying, 'till this day I don't know what he was thinking

But I'm praying for his family, though they clearly forsaked him

Should have raised him right, now he gotta pay the price

Better watch your back because they're outside, you can't hide

Don't try to run, boy, get a gun, that's the only way to survive

Weight of the world on my shoulders but I take it in stride

Just caught a body, if they find me then I'm taking a ride

Pleading my case for self to defense to the judge

I'm in this courtroom getting cross examinated but I still just won't budge

The prosecution ask me why I got guns

For protection, every day I keep it on me from the rise of the sun

'Cause how reliable is 911, I wouldn't know 'cause I don't call 'em

When my back to the wall, I bust shots from this revolver

The only man responsible for my life is me

That's why I got bullets as far as the eye can see

And boy don't test the accuracy, end you back up to God and I attach the receipt

But he unrecognizable, make sure he go back with ID

And that's the situation, I'm just saying if you're asking me

I would if I had to repeat
