Friend Or Foe - 8Ball & MJG |
| [00:07.98] |
Anyway it doesn't matter much how you feel |
| [00:10.58] |
You know what you got to do |
| [00:12.37] |
I'm here to do it |
| [00:13.50] |
How about you |
| [00:14.30] |
Our age five-years-old |
| [00:15.44] |
We were young bucks |
| [00:16.13] |
Scrubbin' each others backs in the bathtub |
| [00:17.48] |
Babysitter would send you to bed |
| [00:18.38] |
But she would make me stay up |
| [00:19.39] |
So she could give the young playa |
| [00:20.65] |
Some viscious head uh |
| [00:21.83] |
Early symptoms of |
| [00:23.60] |
Time of nightway |
| [00:25.24] |
Gigantic factor from the |
| [00:26.73] |
Caukenis b**ch tamer |
| [00:28.73] |
Some had it all though |
| [00:30.40] |
But less unfortunate |
| [00:32.14] |
You had an alloy spoke Mongoose |
| [00:34.20] |
And I had a Huffy |
| [00:35.91] |
You owned a green machine |
| [00:37.51] |
Three different lunch pails |
| [00:39.40] |
I had a go-cart that I built |
| [00:41.22] |
From a bunch of used nails |
| [00:43.05] |
We grew up in the church together ni**a |
| [00:45.20] |
Sunday school |
| [00:46.45] |
Now I heard you off into jackin ni**a |
| [00:48.46] |
That ain't even cool |
| [00:50.08] |
I used to be conned |
| [00:51.62] |
Racked f**ked around |
| [00:52.63] |
And ripped bad |
| [00:53.57] |
Barking up on the wrong tree |
| [00:54.72] |
Talking about runnin up in my past |
| [00:56.57] |
Niggas have hateful thoughts |
| [00:57.85] |
But they stop me from strivin |
| [00:59.67] |
Suckas be shakin salt |
| [01:01.27] |
All in his gameful so find |
| [01:03.19] |
Some fools be gettin crossed |
| [01:04.81] |
Victims of 40-ness |
| [01:06.40] |
Man all that drama you come with |
| [01:08.48] |
I swear you on some sh*t |
| [01:10.26] |
Whether it's M******e or coc*ine |
| [01:12.19] |
Doja or doggfood |
| [01:14.03] |
They had these marks for Tre and Max |
| [01:15.73] |
F**kin off my high breakin rules |
| [01:17.36] |
You got ya P's mixed up |
| [01:19.12] |
You ain't no pimp |
| [01:20.10] |
You's a phony |
| [01:20.96] |
I spit for major mix |
| [01:22.49] |
While you make tapes for ya homie |
| [01:24.36] |
And then you work up tha nerve |
| [01:26.61] |
To speak fair words |
| [01:27.98] |
The pimp a traitor we instigators |
| [01:29.53] |
That's why I wrote this verse |
| [01:31.36] |
For every youngster with his mind on his meal |
| [01:34.40] |
Young playa just chill |
| [01:35.59] |
And take a look at what |
| [01:37.14] |
These fakers call real ni**a |
| [01:38.96] |
I trust no man |
| [01:40.04] |
'Cause man will let you down every time |
| [01:42.09] |
That's why I take it upon myself |
| [01:43.89] |
To thank god in every rhyme |
| [01:45.52] |
'Cause I've seen better times |
| [01:47.16] |
And I've seen worser days |
| [01:48.95] |
When some of my so called friends |
| [01:50.51] |
Wasn't around when I ain't have a verse to say |
| [01:53.34] |
I quench my thirst today |
| [01:55.30] |
With righteous thoughts of mine |
| [01:56.86] |
'Cause righteous thought of mine will leave mark |
| [01:59.29] |
A** niggas far behind |
| [02:00.63] |
I seen it every time |
| [02:02.16] |
They come and go |
| [02:03.35] |
That's why I drop to my knees |
| [02:04.67] |
And ask god to distinguish friend from foe |
| [02:06.65] |
And what do you know |
| [02:08.09] |
By the time morning comes I can see the light |
| [02:11.03] |
And then I'm thanking god once again |
| [02:13.13] |
For making everything all right |
| [02:15.20] |
He made it tight and now I'm back up on the scene |
| [02:18.41] |
Countin' greens |
| [02:19.32] |
Straight from H-town to New Orleans |
| [02:21.62] |
New human beings puttin it down like a mic or not |
| [02:25.22] |
Replace the slot open up shop |
| [02:27.14] |
We 'bout to make it hot |
| [02:28.61] |
Stop |
| [02:29.65] |
With ya devilish doins |
| [02:31.44] |
Because ya devilish doins will only bring forth ya ruin |
| [02:36.49] |
Friend or foe you just will never know |
| [02:43.14] |
Who can you trust in a world that's oh so cold |
| [02:50.44] |
Playa hatin is everywhere I go |

| [03:11.06] |
When someone is broke and down |
| [03:12.61] |
And out without no clout it's rough |
| [03:14.53] |
At least you know who you can |
| [03:16.40] |
And who you cannot trust |
| [03:18.12] |
See let me explain myself |
| [03:19.58] |
And clear up the point I'm tryin to make |
| [03:21.63] |
Don't want no bustas around me |
| [03:23.39] |

| [03:41.77] |
And f**k with hoes |
| [03:42.68] |
Would they be them same niggas |

| [03:46.18] |
Maybe they will |
| [03:46.93] |
Maybe they won't |
| [03:47.83] |
Who is to say what a ni**a will do |
| [03:49.56] |
Who is to say if you help someone |
| [03:51.36] |
It's guaranteed that they'll help you |
| [03:53.09] |
See what I'm sayin |
