Jim Jones – Frienemies Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

This shit is fucked up 'cause some niggas call it tough love
It's crazy 'cause you might know a nigga all your life
And he got a twisted alterier motive
And he just wanna see you do bad
See a smile on your face all day
So he just acting like your friend when he is really your enemy
Or your best friend can become your enemy
Through the-, through the jealousy so we call those frienemies

Knew him since a child (you know), played cops and robbers (I'm the robber)
My best partner grew up to be monsters (uh-huh)
Stayed in my crib (savage), ate out my fridge (yup)
We was on a grind, even wore the same clothes (who's that?)
My brother (yeah), fucked the same hoes (yup)
His beef was mine, even had the same foe (that's right)
We was inseparable, joined at the hip (ok)
I let you get the checks, I kept the joints on the hit (You want to burst me down)

And what happened, the sneaky hating (yo)
Niggas in your ear and a plan deviating
Snakes in the grass just waiting for the moment (fuck 'em)
Niggaz on your team and they're really your opponent (watch 'em)
Play the game, ain't no postponement (nope)
Mama said friends come by the dozen
Now I'm feeling for their guns when I hug 'em (damn!)
I hate them from a close, from a distance I could love 'em
I-I could love 'em from afar

Frienemies, frienemies
The ones you kept close, the ones you love the most (yo, watch these niggas)
Frienemies
You know who you kiss, you know who you lift
This shit is getting scary (watch your balls)

Frienemies, frienemies
The ones you kept secret, you had plans to make it (I know)
Frienemies
You can smell the danger (damn)
Over the money best friends become strangers

Bailed you out of jail (did right), wait, let me backtrack
First you came home then I got your ass a deal (my mistake)
Fresh out the can, signed a quarter mill
Running through the paper, buying copes and popping pills (silly nigga)
Money got low, you started acting ill (dummy)
You grew desperation, once again you got nailed
Someone got killed (yeap), conspiracy (damn)
And even still I bailed you out of jail (silly me)

Without me, you would be facing in a pale (you listenin'?)
But who knew this, you would be Judas (sad)
But in the process, flew you in the world (uh-huh)
Put diamonds on your neck like you was my little girl (my bitch)
Put money in your pocket like you was my son Su (what's up son?)
Food in your stomach like you was my son Pooh (I made you)
The streets talk, heard you partnered Tru (you broke?)
Now you talkin' shit like you really wanna do it (you scared?)

A will-wack (fagots) the type that deceive you (uh-huh)
Your mama should have told you never bite the hand that feed you (she should have told you)
Caught me off guard (yup), I met you through my man (fuck 'em)
I let my guards down and accepted you as fam
Told you get a chair, let you eat at the table (I was trippin')
Never thought that he would be ungrateful (fuck it tho')
But guess what, I own the pub and the label (uh-huh)
So if a nigga feeling itchy, I got killers on the paper (you got killers)

Frienemies, frienemies
The ones you kept close, the ones you love the most (yo, watch these niggas)
Frienemies
You know who you kiss, you know who you lift
This shit is getting scary (watch your balls)

Frienemies, frienemies
The ones you kept secret, you had plans to make it (I know)
Frienemies
You can smell the danger (damn)
Over the money best friends become strangers

Hope y'all paying attention, keep y'all eyes open
Hope I ain't wasting my breathe
About this shit that I'm talking about 'cause it's so real
You gotta watch these niggas around you
'Cause you never know whose who nowadays
And all of our love we be showing
They might not be showing the same type of love back
Matter of fact they might not be in there for your best interest

See anterior motive is hard to see when
You've known a person for so long
Or you've became a custom to their ways
But you gotta stay on 50, you gotta stay on 50
'Cause you got some people that think like
If niggas is moving fast like that then karma will get 'em
But sometimes karma don't come around fast enough
To handle the situation

But sometimes for us to learn a lesson we go way to far
Then the consequences become way too heavy
That's what I'm trying to let learn from experience
And please don't be naive to the fact that the nigga next to you
Could be the nigga that set you up for failure or even kill you
You know how the game go and you gotta watch these bitches
These trifilling bitches, man, they set you up for failure too
You know, they're in there for the money, man, gold digging bitches
It's a fucked up world, but you probably won't even get a chance
You know, might put you up in a gang

Frienemies
