[Intro]
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never—
I'll never know
(Ooh, J Sparkz, it's the beat for me)
Was they ever really my friend?

[Verse 1]
I feel God show you a way to see who really with you
I feel bitches only come your way when it be beneficial
Thinkin' 'bout the n***as I lost 'round my way, it hurt my mental
Man, some n***as, they just need to talk, but ain't nobody to vent to
It was Willow Grove Mall, I looked at sneakers through the window
Now I'm sittin' on the jet, I'm eatin' crabs by the window
Catch myself buyin' shit I couldn't grab when I was little
Had to take a step back, remove myself from the middle
I don't really want no part to all this shit that n***as into
When I finally caught a spark, I brought that shit right back to temple
I know I'm so influential
Once you miss the game-winner, you gon' see how they bench you
See how they treat you
See how a hundred-dollar bill make 'em evil
People you had thought had had your back, they had fleed you
I'm at the crib rollin' up the pack, it's kinda peaceful
Dog, if you my brother, I'ma help you if I'm eatin'
Wish my family knew helpin' all of them ain't easy
Speak it in existence, two million up like I'm Peezy
I done came a long way, I used to pass out my CDs
I think I'm gon' Balenci my beanie, these bitches needy
I ain't forget you, Easy, I miss you, you was my folks
I'm still here holdin' it down, I'm showin' growth
The boat movin', but it's some n***as ain't on the boat
The coat Louis, all of these n***as is cutthroat
I might buy the 580 flat-out like fuck a note
I could weather any storm, I could show you all the ropes
I could coach
The G.O.A.T. has spoke
3 a.m., I'm in the stu', it's me and Juan and Loc
I'm givin' game about the game and you should write it in your notes
I endured all the pain, had to fix it, it was broke
I don't know n***as hate me or they love me, probably both
I don't know if bitches want me, tryna fuck me for some dough
I don't know about her bodies, I don't know if she a ho
I just know she hit me back when I said, "Yo, it's time to blow"
"I'm tryna blow your back out," she said, "Yo, it's time to go"
Forty stories up, out NY, me and Ro
Lookin' like a fuckin' million dollars head to toe
I ain't tryna walk into a place that I can't blow
Was n***as ever really my friend? I'll never know
[Chorus]
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never—
I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
Was they ever really my friend? I wanna know, yeah

[Verse 2]
It never end off how it start, but I'ma still play my part
They come back around for light, but they gon' leave when it get dark
They had pushed me in the water, it was deeper, it was sharks
Catch myself tearin' up when I be speakin' from the heart
They give contracts that's fucked, they know people ain't that smart
Tryna give me low bucks for what I look at like art
I got fucked over so many times, it made me sharp
But I still played my part
Look at where I started, I just know I'm goin' far
Mom super proud 'cause I ain't behind bars
I ain't follow the crowd, I just went and wrote my bars
Now I'm chillin' with the stars
I'm a star myself, you can't look down on who you are
Always down to help, it's out of love and I don't charge
Got it out the mud, I had to eat so I don't starve
Yeah
Compared to where I used to live, dog, I'm livin' large
Straight up out the jungle, I got scars
Where n***as, they don't rumble, all the youngins got ARs
Skippin' school, stealin' cars
Ain't tryna get a job, jammin' shit so they be alright
Tryna live right, but it be hard
How come every night, they don't see the stars?
Why I keep losin' my friends locked behind bars?
[Chorus]
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never—
I'll never know
Why I keep losing my friends, I'll never know
Was they ever really my friend? I wanna know
