lyrics

These friends
are not really
your friends, see
These friends aren’t
really ten toes
down deep

These friends
say I’m better off
without you
These friends
are really the type
to doubt you

1-I was made to be patient
2-No child’s made to be hated
3-It’s the fault of broken adults
who raise broken children who
become broken adults, of course

Of course, it’s a cycle
I’ve seen it
professional and personally
damn, I even dream it

Damn, I guess that means
I’m always on the job
The elders would tell me
to “let go and let God”

You can understand
everything that they say, in fact
the elders not the type
to go around behind your back
and spread rumors
and lies on you
‘cause they life boring
in their gingerbread house, true

These Hansel Gretel rebels
aren’t invited to the Bar-B-Cues
my uncles cooking up
up in Baton Rouge

Familia treating ya’
with plenty of respect
than that tribe that we
ride with, hear me yet

Not to flex, but I bet
that they really it’s true
These Lex Luthors are nothing
more than “Powder’ed” glue

Rotten Tomatoes
in everything that
they really do
Critically panned from
the script to the crew

What I wish upon you
is to hear what I hear
and realize I’m not the
type that you should fear

But, hey, we all
got free will
Made in America
but we ain’t real

These Friends are just Snakes…
