My friends, real friends, better than your friends

That's how we keep poppin' out that Benz, yeah

No foes, real friends, we ain't even got to pretend, yeah

Get bands, get bands, spend it all on my friends

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

And never let me down (they never let me down)

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

And never let me drown (never let me drown)

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

And never let me drown (never let me down)

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

I'll never hit the ground (never let me drown, never let me drown)

My friends, real friends, better than your friends, yeah

Thats how we keep popping out that Benz, yeah

For friends, real friends, better than your friends, yeah

That's them, that's them, they know all my business

I don't know what I would do without all of my crew, yeah

I ain't makin' no room, yeah, I ain't makin' no new friends

I don't make no moves, yeah, without tellin' my crew, yeah

That just how we do, yeah, that just how we do, oh

Damn it, I love my life, Styrofoam cups, no ice

Party 'fore we go inside

Never let them out my sight, they're right by my side

Them my ride-or-dies, them my ride-or-dies

My friends are goals, your friends are foes

We fly, why cry, our souls exposed, yeah

We smoke, we laugh, your stress, my stress

Closer than kin, I'm blessed, you blessed

Ten toes, ten toes, we was out in that road, uh

Lookin' for love in wrong places, we proposed to a stove, yeah

Shared jewels, shared clothes, that's how deep shit goes, yeah

Every week, ya got bros, all of y'all fake close

Y'all switchin' sides like NBA teams just after halftime

I'm pullin' up on my dog, make sure he okay, I don't even have time

He copped me a Porsche with butterscotch seats

This 'fore they had meals

Live better than rappers and they don't even have deals, that real

Bought Emory a BM as soon as he came home

We hopped on a plane, headed straight to the Bay

That's how we turn the game on, it's game on

Ty mama died, I was there, my nephew died, he was there

He in my house more than I be there, more than B there

Ty-Ty there, E there, Breezy there, Juan there

High here, Chaka there, Law there, they all here, ah yeah

Dez there, Kawanna here, shit feel like nirvana here

Crib like the SoHo House, I might stay in and grow out my hair

Tight circle, no squares, I'm geometrically opposed to you

Y'all like to try angles, y'all like to troll, do you?

Y'all talk around hoes, do you? Y'all don't follow codes do you?

You know everything you say from niggas close to you

You emotional; when I say free the dogs, I free 'em

That's how Meek got his freedom

Y'all put niggas on a t-shirt, it hurts you ain't never meet 'em

You got niggas in the feds, you ain't even tryna feed 'em

I'm tryna free the world, that's how deep I'm in

I ain't goin' to nobody nothin' when me and my wife beefin'

I don't care if the house on fire, I'm dyin', nigga, I ain't leavin'

Ty-Ty take care of my kids, after he done grievin'

If y'all don't understand that, we ain't meant to be friends

Pull me up, pull me up, pull me up (pull me up)

And never let me down (they never let me down)

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

And never let me drown (never let me drown)

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up (pull me up)

And never let me down (never let me down)

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

They never let me down (never let me drown, never let me down)

They pray and pray for me, they pray and pray for me

See better things for me

Want better days for me unselfishly

They pray and pray for me, they pray and pray for me

Whenever I'm in need

They in the backseat with the aux bumpin' Bey

They don't cry at all, we don't cry and ball

In my car, car, car, you know, ball, ball hard

They my d-d-dogs

Point 'em out, out, out

Point 'em out, out, out

What would I be without my friends

(What would I be without my friends)

I ain't got no understanding

(I ain't got no understanding)

Rob them, you might catch these hands

We fall out and we make amends, yeah, yeah

Your friends are foes, my friends are goals

Closer than kin, our souls exposed

Your friends are frauds, all they want is applause, yeah

And my friends, real friends, closer than kin

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

Them never let me drown

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

Them never let me down

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

Them never let me down

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up
