"FRIENDS YOU'VE MADE" lyrics

Lemme put this on the record
I promise this will only take second
I'm getting sick of all these niggas throwing shade
As if I wasn't in them trenches
Spending hours in the rain
They only see one side of this two way mirror
Thinking that's the truth
But their not looking past the filters (uh)
'Cause it's too over exposed
They'll disrespect you
Then wonder why you're not laughing at their jokes
You call em out and tell em
"That's gon' be the last of it" (uh)
But they ignore you
'Cause they're not seeing the harm in it (uh)
You've reached a point where dealing with their shit is stressful
& keeping up appearances is fucking up your mental (mmm)
I bet it's funny when that's happens right?
Then you remember all the other times you've let it slide
Maturity's an oversight and then you come to find
That growing up isn't just black and white
Damn

And do you wonder if the friends you've made
Think of you the same?
And do you wonder if the friends you've got
Will take share of the blame?
And do you wonder if when things get tough
Will they cut the rope cause they've had enough?
I'm not a fan of sudden change
But I guess it comes with age

I feels like somethings different
Guess I've been changing up my systems
And I'm not stressing over friends
That I don't really give a fuck about
And the ones that used to be important
Really aren't important now
I'm more than idea that they had painted in their imagery
I'm drinking wine and planning summers out in Italy
With less of a fuck
You start seeing shit differently
And get tired of all this infancy
This industry is fucked up!
I don't the understand the jealousy
I don't believe that I have enemies
So I never let 'em get to me
But this algorithmic alchemy
Is fucking up my energy

It's all game
It's all for show
They use you up
Then let you go
The ones you love
Won't ever leave
And if they do
Then you set them free

And do you wonder if the friends you've made
Think of you the same?
And do you wonder if the friends you've got
Will take share of the blame?
And do you wonder if when things get tough
Will they cut the rope cause they've had enough?
I'm not a fan of sudden change
But I guess it comes with age
And do you wonder if the friends you've made
Think of you the same?
And do you wonder if the friends you've got
Will take share of the blame?
And do you wonder if when things get tough
Will they cut the rope cause they've had enough?
I'm not a fan of sudden change
But I guess it comes with age

I can't lie
I'm in a place I never thought I would be
Music money is steady
And I'm hearing my voice on the screens
& shits mad
Cause I know I worked hard for that
But Imposter Syndromes' got me questioning my master plan
Is this the curse of growing up poor?
Or living on the estates?
You think anybody anybody
Could take it away?
That's why I value my friendships
Even the ones that are fading
So if we ain't spoke in a minute
Nigga I'm still prayin' you make it
I've been out here on some madnesses
Suppressing all my sadnesses
Saturdays in therapy
Just tryna understand the shit
While working on this album
And working on this album
I mean it when I say it bro
This shit is going platinum

Still the man of the house
Still looking after their needs
Plated up with the coppers
But never spoke to police
Plantain with the rice
I served it up with beans
Took my sister to school
And now she's getting degrees
I call my friends through my phone
Cause I got some friends overseas
I got some friends that are neighbours
We ain't spoken in weeks
I got some friends getting married
It's kinda hard to believe it
A couple friends that I miss
A couple blocked and deleted
But as we grow and we change
And night turns to day
Just know that if I love you
That my numbers the same
And I've got nothing else to say
