FRIENDS
I thought you were my safe place
Someone i could always trust
You smiled to my face then turned away
Backstabbed me in the cruelest way
You took my secrets and made them a game
Spread them around and laughed at my pain
So i'll flip the switch and leave you behind
Find the good people who lift my mind
The ones who don't fake!
Who stay when its tough
Who show me that love is more than enough
And thats you guys
Because life's too short for friends who betray
I'll find the ones who choose to stay
So i'll flip the switch
Cause i'm so sick of feeling down
when i'm around all these clowns
Holy Gabriel evil Michael
Pot calling kettle black
Thieves of righteousness
With demonized hands.
Holy Uriel evil Raphael
Birds of the same feather
Father condemning son
Innocent criminal criminalizing Innocent.
Holy David evil Uriah
Evil Sheba holy Bethsheba
One lost a husband the other had none
Bloody Mary turned Angel Katherina.
Holy Satan evil God.
They're always right and you're wrong always
Satan judging demons for a pie
Friend selling friends for money and unquenchable greed.
I'm not trying to get everyone to like me I don't need a herd of fake friends
I guess I wanted a friend so bad ,
you'll probably think I'm mad,
but i did not check and see if they were gonna be fake
i guess i thought there would be no pain caused
as i rake
up all my pain
and realize i should have seen all the signs of a dagger coming to stab me
in the back
cause all of those secrets and bonds created
have just imploded
i guess you have a knack
for stabbing people in the back
I've asked your old friends
and they all say your daddy issues are
only starting to be amends
even thought now knowing wat your problem is i
still wonder
if you hate me ,
why you want to hurt me,
like what did I do to you
to deserve such a painful relationship with you
and why did you betray me like this
oh wait i know cause your a fake friend
with a fake heart
but i realize that
I've gotta give you the benefit of the doubt
and treat you better than you treat others in order for your heat to become real again.
Everyone thinks I'm happy inside,
But sometimes it feels like I'm invisible to their sight.
They choose to be with me when they're in need,
But leave me right away after they fulfill their greed.
Their words to me seem genuine and keen,
But behind my back, they are so mean.
I know their love isn't genuine like mine,
Yet I choose to remain quiet and fine
Hate me or love me
You will not stop me
I have done too much already
God bless my enemies
And all my fake friends
You can say what you want about me
You can walk in your own glory
It’s a shame you don’t understand my story
I will remain kind to you
Whether you love me or hate me!
I know a man or woman will reap what they sow!
He that knows that the heart is inherently evil
Will understand that love can overshadow the hate
Hate me or love me
You will not stop me
I have done too much already
God bless my enemies
And all my fake friends

I am so done with people in this area. They are all so fake and just say anything to get what they want and use you. I have two people in this area that I can honestly call true friends Jeremi and Rod and that's it. I want to move back to Baltimore so badly. But Mom lives here so I won't leave her. But as soon as I have my car I will be making more trips to spend time with my lifelong friends. Real people. I'm the most real person any of these assholes have met. They just don't know they gonna bring the Original Johnny Rancid out and see a side of me that they wish they never met. Salute to all you fake ass friends Suck My Dick!!
FAKE FRIENDS
Owning a few million dollars isn't going make me a better person,but, it sure will make your fake friends better friends,of that you can be certain.
Indiana Shaw . . .
"Yo, brother, friend, best pal, remember me" . . . ; )
So many changes,
So many two faces,
One minute you are a friend,
All they do is pretend,
Fake handshakes they give,
The intimacy is complete,
I be hanging with the fakes,
They be acting like snakes,
You don't know me,
Gonna catch this case,
Hit you in the face,
Beat you in the race,
Niggas rap to the beat,
Tell y'all how I treat,
Friends always slacking,
Out here stacking,
By listening to this,
There’s no buts no ifs,
All of this friendly talk builds a trap,
If u are street smart you can avoid the trap
It's better to walk away than to run with a fake friend,
No use for excuses so bad things come to an end.
I'm not spurned and forgotten 'cause I only go for gold
Might as well shut down, shut down......
Asked for an update,
We both know that it's a little too late
Don't wanna be a killijoy,
But all your words are just like white noise boy!
I am sure you heard
many times if something
is just too good, well it
is not good.
That includes people
who smile all of the time
when talking and laughing
you think, nice.
But are they that nice
do they have evil plans
to steal your trusting soul
and crush you.
Yes, this has happened-
actions mean more than smiles
be careful who you friend
just be sure.
When true- they rise up
they add much to your life
supporting you when needed
show their love.
Beware of a friend
who is . . . a fair weather
friend- not there when it counts-
they are fakes.
They stab your heart, soul-
if a person is too good
to be true, just beware
of the blade.

EVEN YOU BRUTUS
Many are the thoughts in hearts of men,
None to decipher it,
A smile can be for good and also for evil,
None to comprehend it,
Handshake can be for unnoticed challenge,
The mind has planned mischief and the hand is set to execute it.
You were my friend,
Swayed by greed you turned the cards against me in secret,
And laughed with me in the open,
I thought I was secured by our trust,
But it's fortress was besieged by your desires,
How would I have known all this,for I was mesmerized by our bond,
You betrayed that trust and stabbed me in the back,
How can it be you my friend,
Even you Brutus.

Let me elaborate, on the fake friends, the fake mate, the people who claim to care, but when you need them, their not there, you laugh at my life, you take the piss, well listen to me now, listen to this, you wouldn’t last an hour, in this head of mine, but be my guest, anytime, call me what you want, I don’t ing care, I’m still fighting this fight, I’m still ing here, I don’t even need you, I didn’t before, you were never there, when I hit the floor, my lowest of lows, my darkest of days, it opens your eyes, the bitterness stays, but I forgive you, as I’m writing this, a friendship like yours, i’ll never miss, I wish you happy life, I wish the best, I wish that your head, never deals with this mess, These words written in fire, come straight from my heart, but now I’ve said it, i hope it’s a start, i hope you feel guilty, I hope you feel bad, I hope it eats away, and makes you feel sad, I’m not ashamed, I have no fear, I will happily share my tears, I’ve nothing to hide, I’ve lay me bare, thank you for proving, a fake ing care, my tears aren’t for you, your nothing more, I’ll get back to hitting, the dark ing floor
I call them friends, they call me fool.
I make them happy, they lie to my face.
They are in my heart, I am in their thoughts.
They exist in my daily mind and prayer, they friend me when they see me.
I call them friends,
They live with me.
They live behind my back.
They are still my friends
***I guess they think I don't know***

In this world of fake things
Where nothing is real
Nothing is authentic
And the market rules us all
There is no room
For real friendship
We are all using each other
To get ahead
So we pretend to be friends
All the time
Plotting against our so called friends
To get ahead
The market rewards the most vicious
Sociopathic values rule the market
Friendship is for wimps
And losers
Those winners end up
Alone all alone
For they have no real friends
But boy do they have real enemies
For in this fake world of ours
Perhaps hate is the one real emotion
That has survived
Back stabbers! Yeah i said it
Those i considered friends,
Talk behind your back, laugh at
you, not with you.
Those hypocrites ! Ouch
Believe me it hurts me more.
Masses of hysteria when they
mock you.
Don't care how you feel
Worse comes in when they
pretend to be your pal, at a
wedding, not funerals.
How foolish they are !
Make fun of anything about
you.
Long last you feel defeated . . .
But its just the beginning
And you want to quit already,
Let go of everything
Give up. . .
No think twice, thrice, whatever
You persevere, In the end
You show them
Whose the Alpha.
