Friends
True Friendship Unveiled: Ricky Espinoza's Insightful Anthem
Lyrics
What's a friend
Questioning the essence of friendship
If all they ever do is put you down
Criticizing friends who consistently criticize
Never tell you they love you
Highlighting the absence of verbal expressions of love
Always there to judge you
Emphasizing the tendency to judge without support
But never there to help you out
Pointing out the lack of assistance when needed
Who needs a friend
Rhetorical question on the necessity of such friends
That'll shun you when you make mistakes
Describing friends who distance themselves during errors
Always asking for a handouts
Criticizing friends always seeking favors
Right until you run out
Highlighting the self-serving nature of certain friends
And all they do is take and take
Emphasizing the one-sidedness of the relationship
That ain't no friend
Assertion that such individuals are not true friends
What's a friend
Raising the question of the purpose of friendship
If all they ever do is bring you down
Criticizing friends who consistently bring negativity
If they're never there to hug you
Emphasizing the absence of emotional support
Even if you need to
Highlighting the lack of commitment in friendships
And never planned to stick around
Stating that some friends have no intention to stay
Who wants a friend
Rhetorical question about the desire for such friends
That'll stand you up on dates
Describing friends who are unreliable in relationships
Never listen when you're talking
Emphasizing the lack of attentiveness in conversations
Interrupts too often
Pointing out negative communication habits
Always gossips and complains
Criticizing friends who gossip and complain incessantly
We need more friends
Advocating for better, supportive friendships
That'll always step up to the plate
Describing reliable friends who have your back
Always there to have you're back
Emphasizing loyalty in friendships
No matter where it's at
Highlighting consistent support regardless of location
And never try to player hate
Rejecting jealousy or resentment in friendships
We all need friends
Asserting the universal need for good friends
That'll be there when the times get tough
Describing friends who stand by during challenges
When you're running out of vices
Emphasizing the importance of true friends in tough times
Or in a midlife crises
Referencing moments of crisis and self-reflection
They know when enough is enough
Stating the value of friends recognizing limits
Cause If a friend is a friend
Defining the qualities of a genuine friend
They'll be there till the end
Asserting loyalty and enduring companionship
And always stick by your side
Emphasizing steadfast support in all circumstances
And if a friend is a friend
Reiterating the permanence of true friendship
They'll never really say goodbye
Expressing the reluctance to part ways with a friend
And if a friend is a friend
Stressing understanding even in the face of deception
They'll always understand
Asserting a friend's willingness to forgive
Even if you tell a lie
Acknowledging the imperfections and acceptance
Yeah if a friend is a friend
Emphasizing the importance of mutual effort in friendship
They're willing to give it a try
Expressing openness to making a friendship work
I'm talking friends
Specific reference to the ideal friends being discussed
The ones who'll answer when you make the call
Describing friends who are reliable and responsive
Keep secrets if you ask
Emphasizing trust and confidentiality in friendships
Forgive all that's passed
Advocating forgiveness and moving past mistakes
And catch you if you fall
Describing friends who offer support in times of need
Now that's a friend
Concluding with a definitive statement on true friendship
