The Limit

(Intro) Snowgoons on the beat Viro with the speech Jersey to Germany Yo... [Viro the Virus] Catch me in the corner not speaking First heard Ghost say it, Lord knows that's how I play it Cuz most of these bozos will fake it Hiding hatred behind handshakes and embraces If you ain't careful may mistake it For true love and end up backstabbed and snake bit The whole landscape is tainted Where niggas' true colors ain't in the picture they painted Look, can't trust these senioritas either Think she's your Bonnie till she start telling as quick as Tia I suggest you just treat 'em fair Sleeping next to me playing catch with Steve McNair (RIP) Yeah, these names are batty Better beware or you can hang with Gatti See sadly you really get no benefit From a friendship with Brutus, Judas, or Benedict (Hook) Cuz.... Yeah, see there's a limit to the love Human nature says the hate is in their blood Keep your friends close, your enemies closer Y'all might find they're one and the same before it's over [Viro the Virus] Gang Starr called it "Betrayal" come to 'Moment of Truth' Money and lust leave no buddies to trust The trife life is full of with B.S Where enemies be less threats than your B.F.F.'s Thin line 'tween love and hate Can't differentiate from your bitter rival and your running mate When the stakes are high some are just as likely to save your behind As knife or blade in your spine They deceive the smiles and high fives Secretly devise how to lead to your demise Can leave you assed out to a large extent When niggas got two faces like Harvey Dent Don't be rolling with the phony sort Think he your homie till he hopping out the Trojan Horse You gotta see through the camouflage Or get sabotaged by your own entourage (Hook) Cuz.... Yeah, see there's a limit to the love Human nature says the hate is in their blood Reminiscent the crabs in a bucket Love is hard to find when backstabbing's abundant [Viro the Virus] First heard Nas say it; "Best friends become strangers" But at that time I ain't relate with it As I've grown I've seen how true colors get shown And learned to keep so-called friends at a safe distance When you up niggas show you love But turn on you like a German Shepherd over drugs Long as you got a buzz you can call 'em bud Hit a slump in the ship They ready to jump, start slinging mud I limit expectations Knowing that many men fall victim to last temptations Even the most promising relation Can still be evolved to a hostile separation I stay in constant preparation So the day of betrayal is no shocking revelation Cuz truly you really get no benefit From a friendship with a Brutus, Judas, or Benedict (Hook) Cuz.... Yeah, see there's a limit to the love Human nature says the hate is in their blood Game's sick, this is a remedy With friends like these who really needs any enemies?
