Friends Like You

Jarren Benton

Yeah, uh

Ride around 285 with a gun
On a hot summer day gettin' scorched by the sun
Thinkin' 'bout murderin' my best friend
Word around town that the nigga wanna see me done
Damn, thought you had love for your dawg
Why the hell you wanna put a slug in your dawg?
I was always there from the get-go
Gave a nigga hope when he was broke, got me givin' my all
Only nigga there when your fam wasn't involved
When your ho did you wrong, gone put hands on the broad
When you guzzled a bottle of pain pills
I was right there to pick you up when you was layin' in the hall
Damn, thought we would ride together
Now you wanna tell me bye forever?
Now I gotta walk with my Beretta
'Cause niggas jealous over my endeavors?
Who the fuck need enemies when I got friends like you? (Like you)
Why you wanna see me dead after all the shit that I been through? (Been through)
I'm just tryna change, we can not relate, I am not the same
Why when niggas try to make it fear is right there to put a fuckin' hole inside your brain? (Damn)
Out of all of these niggas, I would never think that it would be you (Be you)
Prayed that I'm paranoid and I'm trippin', Lord, say it ain't true
Damn, I just heard it from you, now I feel lost, I don't know what to do
Fuck it, I guess if you comin' to kill me, I'm loadin' the pistols and comin' for you

Who the fuck need enemies when I got friends like you? (Like you)
Who the fuck wanna love when it ain't one to give love too? (Love too)
Who the fuck wanna live in a world so close to you? (To you)
You comin' for me? Well, fuck it, I'm comin' for you
So I ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun
Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun
Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun
Hey, Joe, where you goin' with that gun?
Ridin' 'round here 'bout to kill someone (Yeah)

I'm loadin' the pistol and comin' for you
Tears in my eyes and I'm drunk from this brew
And I cannot believe that this bullshit is true
My friend is my enemy, Lord, forgive me
For horrible things that I'm 'bout to go do
I know that no one else can walk in my shoes
It hurts me to know that I'm 'bout to hurt you
Can not believe that I'm 'bout to murk you
Can't throw my life away, what am I doin'?
Can not go through with this, life will be ruined
That would be stupid, what am I provin'?
What about my kids? Who am I foolin'?
Damn, I known this nigga for all of my life
That wouldn't be right
To turn off his lights with this gun in my hand
Thoughts in my head, what am I sayin'?
Hope my family finds space in they heart
To forgive me, feel alone in the dark
Satan's there, sittin' on my shoulder, heartless
Feelin' cold and eager to let the gun spark, yeah
Fuck it, I think I'll go through with this
Man, I feel sick and have puke in my hands
I'm shakin', I'm nervous, I'm scared
Don't think I'm prepared, fuck should I care?
Fuck it, I slam into the phony over there
There he go, I can see him lookin' at me through the vehicle
Of the rearview mirror
Stress'll turn a real good nigga to a killer
Can't believe that my best friend is my enemy
And don't have friends, so the enemy is me
Never thought I'd be the one to try suicide
Put the gun to my head, rest in peace

Who the fuck need enemies when I got friends like you? (Like you)
Who the fuck wanna love when it ain't one to give love too? (Love too)
Who the fuck wanna live in a world so close to you? (To you)
You comin' for me? Well, fuck it, I'm comin' for you
So I ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun
Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun
Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun
Hey, Joe, where you goin' with that gun?
Ridin' 'round here 'bout to kill someone (Yeah)
