Fake Friends
Navigating Betrayal: City the Great's Anthem on Spotting Fake Friends
Lyrics
Got alotta fake friends
There are many false friends present
Got alotta fake friends
Reiterating the presence of numerous fake friends
They hold you down when you up
They support you when you're successful
Let you go when you down
Abandon you when you're facing difficulties or failures
Man it's hard to find them fake friends
It's challenging to identify these fake friends
When the ceiling coming down
When everything seems to be collapsing or failing
They hold you down when you up
Reiterating the theme of support during success
Let you go when you down
Reemphasizing the abandonment during tough times
Never thought that you'd switch sides on me
Never expected betrayal or disloyalty
Turn state or try and ride on me
Someone turning against or attacking the speaker
Thought you'd stand up side to side homie
Believed the person would stand by them
Guess I had the picture painted wrong
Realizing a mistaken perception of the situation
Yes it's true that when it rains it pours
Admitting that difficulties tend to come together
I'm too real I let the fake perform
Choosing authenticity over pretense
Only ride up in this lane I'm on
Staying true to a specific path despite obstacles
Homie
Addressing a friend
What about you
Questioning the friend's loyalty
People always got they hands out
People often seek favors
Looking like that ain't true
Appearances can be deceiving
Like little Shawn in this muthafucka
Referencing a person named Shawn, expressing distrust
I ain't fucking with you
Declaring a lack of affiliation with the person
Got alotta fake friends
Reiteration of the existence of false friends
Got alotta fake friends
Reiterating the presence of numerous fake friends
They hold you down when you up
They support you when you're successful
Let you go when you down
Abandon you when you're facing difficulties or failures
Man its hard to find them fake friends
Challenging to identify these fake friends
When the ceiling coming down
When everything seems to be collapsing or failing
They hold you down when you up
Reiterating the theme of support during success
Let you go when you down
Reemphasizing the abandonment during tough times
I got frenemies got alotta frenemies
Having many friends who are also enemies
I got frenemies got alotta frenemies
Repeating the notion of having many friends who are also enemies
So many frenemies don't know who a friend of me
Uncertain who genuinely supports the speaker
Use to answer every call but now they igging me
Previously responded to all calls, now being ignored
Back when city had it all I bet they kill for me
Believes that people would have supported fiercely in the past
Bet Blake still mad his chic was feeling me
Refers to a person named Blake, implying jealousy or resentment
Fake friends do dirt turn snitch on you
Fake friends betray and inform on you
Fake friends tuck they tail and turn bitch on you
They become cowardly and betray you
Try to slide up in your main like she ain't fit for you
Trying to get romantically involved with the speaker's partner
Snakes is born not made why would they be loyal
Suggesting that deceitful people are inherently disloyal
Phoney chic you only with him cause he spoil you
A woman only with someone for their wealth
If it wasn't for the doe why would she know you
If not for money, the woman wouldn't acknowledge the speaker
Smile in your face
People pretend to be friendly in person
Talk behind your back
Talking negatively about the speaker behind their back
Walking with a knife in they hand behind your back
Being deceitful and ready to harm the speaker
Fuck them friends fuck them friends
Expressing frustration and disregard for such friends
Ain't too many real ones left but don't take them
There are few genuine friends remaining, cautioning to value them
Fuck them friends fuck them friends
Reiteration of disregard for false friends
Not too many real ones left so don't take them
Highlighting the scarcity of true friends, urging not to lose them
