My man Wayne, this shit right heah, this is somethin
 I put it straight to ya so everybody can fuck with it
 Niggaz, bitches, y'know, everybody
 Little kids, everybody can relate to this, yeah

 Now you been down with this hoe since the seventh and eighth
 High school, night school, shit y'all was runnin mates
 Same hustle, clocked your girl in when she was late
 Side by side, boxed hoes when they called her fake
 And that's your boo, that's your dawg, sister to the end
 And when her folks kicked her out, shit you moved her straight in
 Y'all used to hang so tight niggaz mistake you for twins
 Names just alike, Carol and Carolyn
 She would lie to you, steal from you, say she didn't take it
 You knew she wasn't right but that's your girl you let her make it
 Now who pulled her through when she needed her a portion
 But who left yo' ass in the center of the ocean?
 She fucked her cousin nigga and she fucked her nigga family
 You never ever thought that she would fuck yo' baby daddy
 Everybody tried to tell you but yo' ass wouldn't listen
 And now this hoe done came up missin
 but that's your motherfuckin friend

 [Chorus]
 Friends (my nigga), how many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends (yup), before we go any further
 let's be friends .. (my motherfucker)
 How many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends (y'all), the ones we can depend on
 Let's be friends

 [Tela]
 This ya boy, this ya nigga, motherfuckin close dawg
 And it ain't too many niggaz you can pass the ball
 He never fumble, stay humble since you stumbled on him
 Save you from drownin that summer when you thought you could swim
 Used to run choo-choo trains on his homegirl Kim
 For you, your man'd put his ass on the limb
 Now he was slicker with them hoes and youse a funny-lookin nigga
 Could only get that pussy when the money lookin nigga
 He always got it first and you was second base
 I guess this about the time we can establish the hate
 Got his ass on quicker, started movin weight
 Shit he showed you too much, that was the first mistake
 With friends like you, tell me who needs problems?
 Wanna set your man up, not to kill him, just rob him
 But somewhere in yo' flag everything went bad
 Mag hit him in the head, that's it, he's dead, he left your friend

 [Chorus]
 Friends (yup), how many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends (you my muh'fucker), before we go any further
 let's be friends .. (my dawg)
 How many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends (my nig-ga), the ones we can depend on
 Let's be friends

 [Tela]
 Now you been sleepin with this muh'fucker every night
 Pillow talk, shared your thoughts, shit just split your life
 As they grew up in age they got stubborn and trife
 Everybody else was wrong and they was always right
 So quick to point the finger, instigatin the fight
 I don't care if it was lovely they find somethin they don't like
 Oh so dumb smart don't need no advice
 Folks so dumb smart too bright to get the lights
 You know the kind, don't hear, don't see it in the mirror
 They dress it up with bullshit to make it appear clearer
 With he say, she say, that's all they know
 What did they do, where did they go, that's all they livin fo'
 They wake up one mornin, they done missed the show
 Countin up birthdays like where the fuck did time go?
 Now look at the situation that you got yourself in
 Sit self down and ask self, "Self, is you my motherfuckin friend?"

 [Chorus]
 Friends (yup), how many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends (cause you my muh'fucker), before we go any further
 let's be friends .. (my nig-ga)
 How many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends (my dawg), the ones we can depend on
 Let's be friends (muh'fucker), how many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends, before we go any further
 let's be friends .. (yup)
 How many of us have them?
 Fri-enn-ends (you my muh'fucker, my dawg, my nigga, my muh'fucker)
 The ones we can depend on, let's be friends..
 (My nigga
