No Such Thing As Friends
As Slim Thug said, "Ain't no such thing as friends
Only associates," and there isn't.
Everyone's too fake for that stuff.
Only associates that's too common
That is why we have best friends the closest
And pretend they're so much better than the others.
When in all actuality they're not
They just seem to be the safest option.
While fighting with them you realize something
They aren't the safest option at all
The safest and only option is you.
You are the only person you can trust.
And if you tell only yourself to blame.
Because in a game called life.
There are people who will backstab you-fake.
They will pretend to be so trustworthy
But when something comes up and you are fighting.
All your secrets are out and so are theirs
Retaliation-wow I'm so scared.
Associates-Yes, Friends-No, Slim Thug- Truth.
If not me then who else is here to know?
I fought my best friend went to DAEP
She was fake and "friends" with me the next day
And when we got out she hated me.
We argued some more I almost fought again.
My teachers were disappointed in me;
I was the bigger man but we were still cool.
I was the fool and got hurt- Backstabbed
"No such thing as friends only associates."
