Friendship???
Ever had someone you felt was like a sibling turn their back on you.
Act like they don't know you when they see you. Stopped hollering at you. Someone who's back you had when they were short a dollar(s) without expecting to get the money back just coz you knew it wasn't an issue. As soon as they were back on their "feet" (or felt that they were) they just vanish from your entourage, act differently, seem indifferent when you actually get a chance to talk to them. All this making you feel their ungratefulness for all you ever did for them?
Damn... I didn't make you what you are. I didn't bring you up in this world. I especially don't think ur better coz you know me. Never said I had to be ur only friend. Must have been all that talking I was doing... sorry, twas only coz I cared too much when I thought I saw you going down a wrong path... Maybe it fits you. Money wasn't an issue til u made it an issue. Live ur life and live it well, the way u want to live it.
Hey no hard feelings... u know how the saying goes - Born alone, Die alone.
Damn... I don't know if this is real yet, but until I find out, this is how I feel (how 16 yrs plus goes down the drain).
"Yo...I'm seeing a couple things wrong with the way that I'm living
So come and walk with me I just need a second opinion
Introduce you to my friends I got to see if you notice
If they loyal or if they all got an ulterior motive"
-Joe Budden ('Walk With Me')
"*Friends
How many of us have them?
Friends
Ones we can depend on
Friends
How many of us have them?
Friends
Before we go any further, lets be
Friends*
Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesnt know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldnt be much help
Because A friend is somebody you judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
But some mistake kindness for bein a fool
We like to be with some, because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with, around the way
And you're still real close too this very day
Homeboys through the Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall
And then there's some we wish we never knew at all
And this list goes on, again and again
But these are the people that we call friends"

-Lauryn Hill ('How Many Mics')
"If money makes a man strange -- we gots to rearrange
So what makes the world go round"
-De La Soul ('Itzsoweezee')
"The 'Bridge touched me up severely hear me?
So when I rhyme it's sincerely yours
Be lightin L's sippin Coors, on all floors in project halls
Contemplatin war n!ggaz I was cool with before
We used to score together, Uptown coppin the raw
But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes
and best friends become strangers, word up"
-Nas ('The Message')
"Enemies close coz friends switch sides when shit gets live
Dealin' with a lot of pressure I'm in too deep"
-Nas ('In Too Deep')
Done shaking my head. Let's all move on!
Peace and best wishes!
