[Produced by Kanye West/sample by Frank Dukes and Boi-1da/drum programming by Havoc] [Intro: Al Taylor] Real Friends How many of 'em Really do love you How many love you Real Friends Always there for you Whatever you go through Through thick and thin Real Friends Real Friends [Verse 1: Al Taylor] Y'all heard I was rapping and wasn't impressed I been failing my whole life like this shit was a test When you get on cop the squad some gold and a jet Gimme this gimme that like they gotta invest Man hell nah, all of em tripping Walked a while by myself when they was all missing Back when I didn't have a vision Broke and bummy but I had a pot to piss in Feeling like a noise in the crowd, ad-libing Uh I went through hell itself to find myself So only one above me now is Yeezus and God himself If life's a game I'm the hottest nigga off the shelf I do this shit for the name not for the wealth Feeling like I've waited year for this I give my blood sweat and tears for this Nah, I give my life love an fears for this I'm the pilot my life so stop trying to steer the shit [Verse 2] Granny just turned a hundred, I know that she blessed She say my heart good but I'm hot in the head She say I'm heaven sent don't let the devil in But it's hard when you been where I been Back then I was distant Fam thought that I was missing I skipped all the gatherings, slept through christmas Going through holidays like what is this We gone act like this shit ain't different Just wasn't the same after my pops died Hell, you ain't even call when my pops died So many nights I cried till my eyes dried asking god why First you took my homie now my daddy gotta die Damn But I learned that it's all for a reason We fall down spring up its all in the season Everything got a meaning You just gotta to see it
