Friends Like You - Jarren Benton

Ride around 285 with a gun

On a hot summer day gettin' scorched by the sun

Thinkin' 'bout murderin' my best friend

Word around town that the nigga wanna see me done

Damn, thought you had love for your dawg

Why the hell you wanna put a slug in your dawg?

I was always there from the get-go

Gave a nigga hope when he was broke, got me givin' my all

Only nigga there when your fam wasn’t involved

When your ho did you wrong, gone put hands on the broad

When you guzzled a bottle of pain pills

I was right there to pick you up when you was layin' in the hall

Damn, thought we would ride together

Now you wanna tell me bye forever?

Now I gotta walk with my Beretta

'Cause niggas jealous over my endeavors?

Who the fuck need enemies when I got friends like you?

(Like you)

Why you wanna see me dead after all the shit that I been through?

(Been through)

I’m just tryna change, we can not relate, I am not the same

Why when niggas try to make it fear is right there to put a fuckin' hole inside

your brain?

(Damn)

Out of all of these niggas, I would never think that it would be you (Be you)

Prayed that I’m paranoid and I’m trippin', Lord, say it ain’t true

Damn, I just heard it from you, now I feel lost, I don’t know what to do

Fuck it, I guess if you comin' to kill me, I’m loadin' the pistols and comin'

for you

Who the fuck need enemies when I got friends like you?

(Like you)

Who the fuck wanna love when it ain’t one to give love too?

(Love too)

Who the fuck wanna live in a world so close to you?

(To you)

You comin' for me?

Well, fuck it, I’m comin' for you

So I ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun

Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun

Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun

Hey, Joe, where you goin' with that gun?

Ridin' 'round here 'bout to kill someone (Yeah)

I’m loadin' the pistol and comin' for you

Tears in my eyes and I’m drunk from this brew

And I cannot believe that this bullshit is true

My friend is my enemy, Lord, forgive me

For horrible things that I’m 'bout to go do

I know that no one else can walk in my shoes

It hurts me to know that I’m 'bout to hurt you

Can not believe that I’m 'bout to murk you

Can’t throw my life away, what am I doin'?

Can not go through with this, life will be ruined

That would be stupid, what am I provin'?

What about my kids?

Who am I foolin'?

Damn, I known this nigga for all of my life

That wouldn’t be right

To turn off his lights with this gun in my hand

Thoughts in my head, what am I sayin'?

Hope my family finds space in they heart

To forgive me, feel alone in the dark

Satan’s there, sittin' on my shoulder, heartless

Feelin' cold and eager to let the gun spark, yeah

Fuck it, I think I’ll go through with this

Man, I feel sick and have puke in my hands

I’m shakin', I’m nervous, I’m scared

Don’t think I’m prepared, fuck should I care?

Fuck it, I slam into the phony over there

There he go, I can see him lookin' at me through the vehicle

Of the rearview mirror

Stress’ll turn a real good nigga to a killer

Can’t believe that my best friend is my enemy

And don’t have friends, so the enemy is me

Never thought I’d be the one to try suicide

Put the gun to my head, rest in peace

Who the fuck need enemies when I got friends like you?

(Like you)

Who the fuck wanna love when it ain’t one to give love too?

(Love too)

Who the fuck wanna live in a world so close to you?

(To you)

You comin' for me?

Well, fuck it, I’m comin' for you

So I ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun

Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun

Ride around 285 with a gun, ride around 285 with a gun

Hey, Joe, where you goin' with that gun?

Ridin' 'round here 'bout to kill someone (Yeah)
