[Intro: Young Noble]
Yeah, Young Noble Outlaw
Deuce and the Concrete Mob
[Chorus: Deuce Deuce, Young Noble & Six2]
Yo, 'cause when it’s all said and done and it all catch up(Uh)
How many got friends you can depend on
You know (C'mon)They be around but when your paper get low
(C'mon) Just like Master P said, there they go, there they go(Yeah)
’Cause when it's all said and done and it all catch up
How many got friends you can depend on
You know (How many?) They be around but when your paper get low
Just like Master P said (Depend on me) There they go, there they go
[Verse 1: Young Noble]
Yeah, I don't just talk about this shit baby I really live it (Live it)
I don't just rap about this shit, n***a I really did it (Did it)
Spit it for the real n***as, all the bitches feel it (Feel it)
Get yo' paper, fuck a hater, make them n***as feel it (Make 'em feel it)
They said I wouldn't make it, so I had to show 'em different (Different)
Count on me any time we in the [?] (Let’s go!)
Over-loyal, over-dedicated, the streets understand me
These n***as overrated (C’mon)
Yeah I'm right there, when the rest was ghosts (The rest was ghosts)
When you really needed me that’s when it counted the most (Uh huh)
The only thing that I expect in return (In return)
Is every single drop of the respect that I've earned (Yeah)
The lessons I've learned, from the bridges that was burned
That this bitches ain't shit (Shit) And these n***as even worse (Worse)
This ain’t even a verse, this is more like real life
If I die tonight I swear to God I lived a real life (Real life)
Walkin' towards God, with a righteous step (Righteous step)
Got these Devils on my back, gotta watch my step (Watch my step)
Lot of real n***as died, ain't too many of us left (Yeah)
So when it's my time to go, they gon' say the promise was kept (C'mon)
[Chorus: Deuce Deuce & Six2]
'Cause when it's all said and done and it all catch up
How many got friends you can depend on
You know, they be around but when your paper get low
Just like Master P said, there they go, there they go
'Cause when it's all said and done and it all catch up
How many got friends you can depend on
You know, they be around but when your paper get low
Just like Master P said, there they go, there they go
[Verse 2: Deuce Deuce]
We was just kids, we ain't seem to know the difference
I ain't a quitter, no it's not in me n***a
I ain't the one that stiff ya, we all tryna live it
When times get hard, just put your faith in God (What)
Ain't nobody put me on, I had to hustle 'til the dawn
That's when the sun came up, my words my bond
I ain't the one to burn a bridge (Nah) every step every breath
Along the way I earned my shit
Saw the world through each others eyes and in each others minds
For you I risk it all (Risk it all) But would you do this same for me? (Dog)
Fall down pick each other up, I ain't give a fuck
Since kids would have did a bid
Lost a rib do the ten, twenty-five to life
We ain't build it overnight (We ain't build it overnight)
Uh, you ain't never had a friend like me [?]
I stay solid, I always kept my promise
[?] I stay honest I ain't the one to lie
You can see it in my eyes
[Chorus: Deuce Deuce & Six2]
'Cause when it's all said and done and it all catch up
How many got friends you can depend on
You know, they be around but when your paper get low
Just like Master P said, there they go, there they go (Yo)
'Cause when it's all said and done and it all catch up (Huh)
How many got friends you can depend on (Well, let me see)
You know, they be around but when your paper get low
It's like Master P said, there they go, there they go(Kardi, Kardi)
[Verse 3: Kardinal Offishall]
Yo, yo my real friends are this bible and this hustle mayne
After that, you are a secondary discussion mayne
Friends come and go creepin' through revolvin' doors
Down when you're gettin the paper sum'n like evolvin' whores
Streets raised me but friends kept me company
Crack was on my block, but greatness infront of me
Wasn't really built for the scent of the cocaina
But the money had my head spinnin' like a ballerina
Most of my friends in grade eight, started choppin' bags
I was tryna earn allowance they was fillin' shoppin bags
High school, some of they drug paper, went to studio
Shout my n***a Damion, who looked out though (What Up?)
Real friends, recognized I had a hidden talent
I was murderin' my sessions, while them n***as was wildin'
Murderin' the corners, makin' fiends like everyday
Without some of them I could've turned out a different way
I kept company with many different fallen angels
Who turned they back, when God started turnin' tables
I ain't mad though, C'est la vie, it is what it is
It's just me and my brothers who be gettin this
While I'm writing this my brethrens on house arrest
Discovering who is really checkin' for him with a check
Or with a simple phone call, to keep his mind strong
Do on to others, I'm one you can depend on
[Chorus: Deuce Deuce & Six2]
'Cause when it's all said and done and it all catch up (Huh)
How many got friends you can depend on
You know, they be around but when your paper get low
Just like Master P said, there they go, there they go (Yo)
'Cause when it's all said and done and it all catch up (Huh?)
How many got friends you can depend on
You know, they be around but when your paper get low
It's like Master P said, there they go, there they go(Kardi, Kardi)
