Текст песни Damian Marley and Nas - Friends

FRIENDS
DISTANT RELATIVES
SAMPLED VOCAL INTRO

CHORUS 1 ‐ SAMPLE

VERSE 1 ‐ JR. GONG:
These later days in Babylon
As I watch your children grow
And the years them carry on
And I miss you even more
Still I send them go to school
And tell them
What dem fi know
All of mi friend dem mi salute
Daddi gon &
Lenny Screw
Another year has come and past
Man a drop like morning dew
Uncle Warrick sick and gone
When him couldn’t
catch a flew
Picka T you a mi don
Respect long and overdue
When nothing never did a gwan
You still have on somethin’ new
Our friendship ever last
All when one minus from few
Yes we surely had a blast
We’re like family
Me & you
A nuh every path you cross
Lead to somebody whe true
Of the many that are called
Only chosen is a few

CHORUS 2 – JR. GONG

Of the real friends that serve you long
Your memories might fade
Your real friends will serve you long
Sunshine or rain
Your real friends will serve you long
Acquaintances will fade
Your real friends wont do you wrong
Real friend don’t change

VERSE 2 – NAS
Only talking with winners
A looser or two
Got my number
Still they think they real
But they just really awfully bitter
Salty niggaz
Hate the smarter ones
These are the doubters
Who s our ‘bout my run
I barely made it out the slums
My value high
Cause I do more than
Rap about a gun
I made money for niggaz
Ya’ll never looking out for none
I helped millionaires get to that very position
Some real millionaires see that’s ill
Cause look at statistics
Real millionaires
And I ain’t talking ghetto riches
Thorough business
You mistreating niggaz
Heard your folks bleed in prison
You ain’t a R
