firm friends

Drake

Yeah
Con-Con?
Yeah, we back at it, back at it
Conductor
For real
Shout out Ref1
Yeah, alright

You think I didn t see that you stayed silent
That s like you endorsing it all
May as well stand behind him
I stood beside you, thought there was some good inside you
Situations like these
They force you to notice the difference
Look at me and Nick s for instance
We know we live different lives
And we ve been on our separate missions
Look at how time flies, 20 y?ars past
He s still the same guy

But I g?t it, you all wanna be the main guy
That explains why most people die not knowin
Who would ve stuck by they side
It doesn t even cross their mind
They just go along for the ride
They ll never know their friend s decision
Friends never had to decide

What does somebody do after doing everything
You could ve done for everyone?
You just do what you should ve done since day one
You stick with your day ones
I m not the villain or the victim, I am the author
My right hand guides the pen along the page
Until the chapter s done
What would they do to me if they ever caught me ridin dolo?
Would they take my chain and my watch
Or would they take my photo?
Fuck that, I m in the stu with Noel
The sun went down, we couldn t tell
There s so many opportunities but we still here by ourselves
It s been nearly 14 years, he ain t worked with no one else
And I ain t go to no one else
That s cause there s no better team, huh
Trust me, the hour s glistening more than it s ever been
And trust me, I m the highest that I ve ever been
The greatest that they ve ever seen
I ve been alternating from being overseas
And listening to beats, strong opinions
From the weak for 400-somethin weeks
They deep-seated resentment is what s filling up their seats
I ve seen ghosts act like sheeps, co-workers turn to enemies
Damn, I got enemies, got a lot of enemies
Lot of niggas tryin to drain me of my energy
Right now me and Conductor
We got more fucking chemistry than MIT
Two hours just styled for some peace and serenity
Then it s back to Zerg for the OVO supremacy
And a hotel ammenities
They try to have all of my precious memories
Layin in my girl s lap like she Jackie Onassis
And I m John Kennedy, but I am not Jonathan Kennedy
Rest in peace, but I really can t bloody up
The triple button Giovanni s suit, because I m OCD
I don t want no Drake, my apologies
I m trippin you re top three
My group chat was bumpin those oppy guys, but not me
Like beggin to get out a ticket, now they wanna cop pleas
My son is taking corner kicks
In front of Luis Enrique at PSG
And y all are talking about inflation
And the numbers on DSPs
And me havin better perspective on life doing DMT
Nigga, K-Y-S-A-S-A-P
That s some shit that you could do for me
Like it was my first Chanel, I could ve posted receipts
That would ve made niggas read them and weep
Reportin live from the scene
Where I wasn t supposed to be revived by the EMTs, yeah
I did not break up a happy home, baby, you pulled up on me
Tell em why you really hate me
And what year did she date me
I know niggas gon crazy as I cop
All the items you niggas put up for sale
And start a museum in my house, called try someone else
Your friends never had to decide if they wanna stay
The strength of your bond has never been tested in any way
I ve been on the longest run, I don t know how to walk away
It s baby steps for you boys, y all walkin before y all run
Secluding me might ve been
The worst thing that they ever done
I m a product of where I m from, one sound, one band
The orders make their way through
The proper chain of command
And if everything goes to plan
I will be makin the name changed
From the boy to the man
But y all just wouldn t understand, damn
From mass distribution to leadin
My own version of the revolution
Private arbitration leads to resolution
Beat the game so many times, this shit has got abusive
Fuck you artists and producers
I don t wanna hear excuses or your plans for future truces
I am so far gone that a Thank me later is useless now
CTE from tryin me and still they want another hit
Made a livin off, oh no he didn t s, bitch, yes I did
Skeletons in your closet, well
Trust this ain t the bone to pick
They say, what we doin , Ice? We runnin it back
What has Iceman, ever done other than that?
Even when under attack
Y all don t know the stamina it takes to run up the stats
My numbers are humblin facts
Mistakin my sons for brothers, but it won t happen again
You better check your tone
I m not one of y all lil friends
I got shots about to fly at some of y all heads again
Man, shots about to fly
Even though some of my friends still talk about you
Guys like they leanin towards your side
I think karma s takin too long an eye for both of your eyes
That ll show you love is blind, for real

You all wanna be the guy, it explains why most people die
Not knowin who would ve stuck by they side
It doesn t even cross they mind
They just go along for the ride
They ll never know they friends decisions
Friends never had to decide
