"true Friends Stab You In the Front.

Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world,
we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, 
we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, 
nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.

I stand here today
blessed and okay
willings and just fine

I stand here today
and you is still a friend of mine
that walked with me along the same pathway

we had our ups and downs
seen and mixed in middle of fights
but at the end of days and days we all seem to come around
to put aside our differences and who's wrong and who's right
cause at the end of a hard day, when family isnt present, friends is the next best
they turn into dat play brutha, sista, cuzo, or that favorite guest

they was the one who always brought priceless smiles
they gave the best gifts
they made bad days worth while
they turned sad days into lifts
they made the most boring moments fun
when your feets was tired, they'll go the extra mile and take your run

sometimes you have to watch who you call friends
covered in masks, fony lies and a need to betray
i stand hear today
remembering all the ones we lost along the way
how i tried and tried to bring the pieces back to one
but the picture never took frame
we think how we was back stabbed, cheated, and skipped along like a ruleless game

I stand here today wondering the true meaning of a friend

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you 
just the way you are.
