Firm Friends (Explicit)

Firm Friends (Explicit) - Drake

Lyrics by：Aubrey Graham

Composed by：Aubrey Graham

Yeah

Con-Con

Yeah we back at it back at it

Conductor

For real

Shout out real ones

Yeah alright

You think I didn't see that you stayed silent

That's like you endorsing it all may as well stand behind him

I stood beside you thought there was some good inside you

Situations like these they force you to notice the difference

Look at me and Neeks for instance

We know we live different lives and we've been on our separate missions

Look at how time flies 20 years past he's still the same guy

But I get it you all wanna be the main guy

That explains why most people die not knowin' who would've stuck by their side

It doesn't even cross their mind they just go along for the ride

They'll never know their friend's decision friends never had to decide

What does somebody do after doing everything you could've done for everyone?

You just do what you should've done since day one

You stick with your day ones

I'm not the villain or the victim I am the author

My right hand the pen along the page until the chapter's done

What would they do to me if they ever caught me ridin' dolo?

Would they take my chain and my watch or would they take my photo?

Fuck that I'm in the stew with Noah the sun went down we couldn't tell

There's so many opportunities but we still here by ourselves

It's been nearly 14 years he ain't worked with no one else

And I ain't go to no one else that's 'cause there's no better team huh

Trust me the hour's glistening more than it's ever been

And trust me I'm the highest that I've ever been

The greatest that they've ever seen

I've been alternating from being overseas

And listening to beats strong opinions from the weak for 400-somethin' weeks

They deep-seated resentment is what's filling up their seats

I've seen ghosts act like sheeps co-workers turn to enemies

Damn I got enemies got a lot of enemies

Lot of niggas tryin' to drain me of my energy

Right now I'm being conducted we got more fucking chemistry than MIT

Two hours just styled for some peace and serenity

Then it's back to Zerg for the OVO supremacy and a hotel ammenity

They try to have all of my precious memories

Layin' in my girl's lap like she Jackie Onassis and I'm John Kennedy

But I am not Jonathan Kennedy

Rest in peace but I really can't bloody up the triple button Giovanni's suit

Because I'm OCD

I don't want no Drake my apologies I'm trippin' your top three

My group chat was bumpin' those obby guys but not me

Like beggin' to get out a ticket now they want a cop please

My son is taking corner kicks in front of Luis Enrique at PSG

And y'all are talking about inflation and the numbers on DSPs

And me havin' better perspective on life during DMT

Nigga K-Y-S-A-S-A-P that's some shit that you could do for me

Like it was my first Chanel I could've posted receipts

That would've made niggas read them and weep

Reportin' live from the scene where I wasn't supposed to be revived by the EMTs

Yeah

I did not break up a happy home baby you pulled up on me

Tell 'em why you really hate me and what year did she date me

I know niggas gon' crazy as I cop all the items you niggas put up for sale

And start a museum in my house try call someone else

Your friends never had to decide if they wanna stay

The strength of your bond has never been tested in any way

I've been on the longest run I don't know how to walk away

It's baby steps for you boys y'all walkin' before y'all run

Secluding me might've been the worst thing that they ever done

I'm a product of where I'm from one sound one band

The orders make their way through the proper chain of command

And if everything goes to plan

I will be makin' the name changed from the boy to the man

But y'all just wouldn't understand damn

From mass distribution to leadin' my own version of the revolution

Private arbitration leads to resolution

Beat the game so many times this shit has got abusive

Fuck you artists and producers

I don't wanna hear excuses or your plans for future truces

I am so far gone that a "Thank me later"is useless now

CT'd from tryin' me and still they want another hit

Made a livin' offer oh no he didn't bitch yes I did

Skeletons in your closet well trust us ain't the bone to pick

They say what we doin' Ice? We runnin' it back

What has Iceman ever done other than that?

Even when under attack

Y'all don't know the stamina it takes to run up the stats

My numbers are humblin' facts

Mistakin' my sons for brothers but it won't happen again

You better check your tone I'm not one of y'all lil' friends

I got shots about to fly at some of y'all heads again

Man shots about to fly

Even though some of my friends still talk about you guys

Like they leanin' towards your side

I think karma's takin' too long an eye for both of your eyes

That'll show you love is blind for real

You all wanna be the guy it explains why most people die

Not knowin' who or the stuff by they side

It doesn't even cross they mind they just go along for the ride

They'll never know they friends' decisions friends never had to decide
