Friends Is a Dumb Word
Navigating Betrayal: Vic Spencer's Reflection on Broken Friendships
Lyrics
The other day I was lost
The speaker reflects on a recent time of feeling lost.
Found myself even though it tripled the cost
The speaker discovered himself, even though the process was costly.
Niggas lied to my face and it pisses me off
The speaker is upset about being lied to directly, especially by fellow artists who aren't truly successful.
When other rappers talk shit and not really a Boss
Expressing frustration when other rappers criticize without having achieved success themselves.
Brother of the struggle
Identifying as someone who has faced and overcome challenges.
Get it from the mud we often huddle in the puddle
Describing the struggle to succeed and the unity formed in challenging situations.
Skinny ass nigga still tussle with the muscle
Despite being slender, the speaker is willing to fight physically.
Lift weights get Cake and cop something with a muzzle
Working hard to earn money and acquire possessions discreetly.
People that think they yo friends must really don't know
Suggesting that those claiming to be friends may not truly understand the speaker.
If you gotta think it then it ain't nothing to show
If one has to question the authenticity of a friendship, it likely holds no value.
When we was friends man I jump when you go
Recalling a time when the speaker was willing to follow a friend, but that loyalty has changed.
Now I'm that same mf with the pump to ya nose
The speaker, once friendly, is now confrontational and potentially violent.
When you not cool with people no more you create your own funeral for em
When relationships sour, it feels like preparing for the end, even if it's only in one's mind.
It's in ya mind but you really want it to happen
Expressing a desire for negative thoughts to materialize, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
That rhyme pattern didn't rhyme on purpose I'm not nervous
Denying nervousness about a planned action, perhaps violent retaliation.
I'm worried if I'm gonna black out or not at ya service
Concerned about losing control or consciousness during a confrontation.
You can love a nigga one day the next hate the son of a bitch
Highlighting the volatile nature of relationships, going from love to hate quickly.
Slap my enemies right in front of their kids
The speaker is willing to confront enemies, even in front of their children.
Amongst all of this shit, I must strengthen my heart
Amid challenges, the speaker must strengthen their emotional resilience.
Let my old friendships horseplay in the dark
Past friendships are left behind, allowing them to play out their drama without involvement.
You ain't got nothing to say to the god I live to love hard
The speaker lives with intense love, but there's nothing left to say to those who think they are above God.
I stop hanging with people who be thinking they above god
The speaker distances themselves from those who consider themselves superior to God.
My wife hugged my scars of my old friendships
The speaker's wife supports and understands the scars left by past friendships.
If we not friends no more it didn't mean shit
Ending a friendship doesn't diminish its significance or impact.
The last friend I made was Boss Don before that it was Adrian
Naming specific individuals who were significant in the speaker's life.
It was a 5 year span I could tell that they was made to win
Recognizing that certain individuals are destined for success.
Music friends been the worst at this point
Finding that friendships in the music industry are particularly challenging.
Weed became my best friend too put the purp in a joint
Turning to substances like weed for companionship.
One sided agendas is pretending
Criticizing one-sided friendships that involve hidden motives.
I made songs with everyone why I'm the only one hurt
Expressing pain from a disparity in emotional investment in friendships.
I tried to spell friends backwards (Sdneirf) looked like another language
Attempting to reverse or understand the negative aspects of friendships but finding it difficult.
When I see niggas I don't fuck with no mo I don't say shit
Choosing to remain silent when encountering people with whom the speaker has severed ties.
