What is a true friend?
I'll give you my definition
I been saying this from time, nobody listened
Only wanna hear me out when I go missin'
Why am I the only one to go the distance?
A true friend is someone that helps you grow
Helps you know yourself better than you did before
Someone who knows you outside your phone
Knows how you feel even when it doesn't show
The truth is a true friend is hard to find
I ain't on a search but it stays on my mind
Are the friends that I got really even mine?
Or are we passing the time?
Say you know me but you don't know much
Saw my instagram, came to my show once
Hung out in high school 'cause I had to show up
Now I only see you when I'm the one who pulls up
My phone only blowing up now that I'm glowing up
Y'all so far behind, I been growin' up
Learned a lot about sin growin' up
You ain't lived enough, you can't relate to this
Can't tell if we friends or acquaintances
Too focused on what everybody thinks
I ain't with the drama that it brings, no
I been caught up too, I will admit
Thank god I realized I don't give a shit
Thank god I realized don't shit exist
Thank god I realized what my purpose is
Makin' plans that you know you won't follow through
Got a problem with me cause I won't follow you
Got a life of my own, does it bother you?
I can't f*ck with you 'cause you just want another you
That's not cool with me
You ain't getting through to me
These days we talking 'bout nothing
And that ain't got shit to do with me
Gotta be true to me
Y'all are two faced, that ain't new to me
Things change, now I feel nothing
In my past you are soon to be
Old friend or new friend
Either one can be a true friend
Either way it do end
It do end
Old friend or new friend
Either one can be a true friend
Either way it do end
It do end
Aside from that, I'm optimistic
Maybe if I didn't have it I would miss it
Maybe if I try lookin' at it different
Maybe if I accept that this is part of livin'
What's the difference?
But one life I was given
So I can't give in
Only beginning
I'm only beginning
I think the bar is set too low
Not enough effort made to get to know
One another, instead we'd rather go
In a cycle, same bullshit as before
Next time you call, I press ignore
Ain't shit you can get mad at me for
I'ma have to let you go
At least I let you know
Old friend or new friend
Either one can be a true friend
Either way it do end
It do end
Old friend or new friend
Either one can be a true friend
Either way it do end
It do end
Old friend or new friend
Either one can be a true friend
Either way it do end
New friend or old friend
Either one's better than no friend
Where'd you go friend?
