Real Friends (Remix)

[Hook (x2):]
Real Friends
Real Friends
How Many Of Us
How Many Love Us

[Verse 1:]
Cuz I feel a dying breed
Humanity is insanity
So I'm tryna plead
Innocence
In a sense
I'm bringing change like a nuisance
People tryna tell me how to live
Give me they 2 cents
But I've been alone so long
I treat my room like a psych ward
To stay strong
I lean on my words
No friends to lean on
Momma thinks I'm depressed
Sadly she isn't wrong
She's right
I write songs in a
Hope to prolong
My sanity
A slave to vanity
I was made
That's why I'm stressing out
How to get paid
That's why I'm scared to lose friends
All of mine fade
Faded memories with some people I won't forget
But emotionally speaking
These are ones I might regret
They say I switched up
Because a vision
It's simple math
Division between us is a decision
The people closest to me
They making a choice
It's me, my Mac, my mic and my voice
Y'all weren't there when these girls said I wasn't their type
5 years
Only spoke to my daddy on skype
Mentally disturbed
Spiritually evoked
Low on stocks
So I'm never stoked
Busted like an egg shell
Fried like yolks
I only ever smile
Cuz I'm cracked like jokes
Sorry I gotta vent
Cuz the effort that I've spent
Holding onto fake friends
Is starting to leave a dent
I mean look I'm here spending
All this time depending
On people and even lending
My heart but they all pretending
Not name dropping
But I took a 40 minute trip
When you called past midnight
Cuz you wanted to dip
I gave you that ride home
Cuz you didn't have a whip
Months later, when I hit you up
You say who is this.. What?

[Hook (x2):]
Real Friends
Real Friends
How Many Of Us
How Many Love Us

I feel like I'm drowning
In the deep end
Pool of emotions
And I'm deep in

[Verse 2:]
These days ya boy keeps it all in him
They say I promise I don't bite
But it's all venom
Look at the soul of a man
What has control of a man
I Been soul seeking
Climbing heights
But I'm not peaking
Asking who has my back
Who's plotting a sneak attack
My spirit is waging war
I feel like I'm in Iraq
Dodging bullets
Pull the trigger with my tongue
Getting on my nerves
Infected by the words that stung
It all rings a bell now
One that never rung
No strings attached
Til you realize you got strung
Strung along
Is how I feel
So I'm trippin
I'll reveal
Why I'm skippin
Every meal
And dippin
Behind the wheel
Maybe flipping
For a deal
Sipping
To conceal
Police tipping
To appeal
And zipping
Up what I seal
Maybe that's the key
Whatchu want from me?
Pride kicking in
Hard not to sin
And I always been
Outside lookin in
Must be nice to have a squad
It's just me, myself and God...
It's just me, myself and God...
It's just me, myself and God...
