Jody Watley - Friends [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Jody Watley]
Have you ever been standing around
By someone you thought was really cool
Did steal your love or was it money, or was it lies they told
Strangers just disguised as your friends
Never again, cause now you know, that..

Chorus:
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
You need them most where are your friends
Friends are hard to find, friends yours and mine
I'm talking about your friends

[Jody Watley]
Smiles they have behind, never knew what's on their mind
Could be truly deception
Jealousy and envy reign, never want to see get ahead
They just hold you back

Chorus:

[Rakim]
Friends are hard to find so be careful
You'll get fried at the end to the mind and prepare you
It's some may doubt that, but one might back-stab
To get the fake tips of one might have
Fight with hands and feet, lead the people who need you
For those who hold you back and mislead you
To be a leader don't get lead on or leaded
For those erection a dead-ends next end
Use a detour, life's like a seesaw
Ups and downs and I bet they'll be more
Pot holes and obstacles, in a path that's righteous
At times you need a hand to fight this
Way of life, straighten up take the according to place in
And don't you act two-faced in
Cause jealousy and envy and you still act friendly
You'll be fried at the end when you pretend to be

Chorus:

[Rakim]
Used to kiss me, tell me you missed me
But now you try glaze me, play me, and dis me
I'm wide-awake, ready to break so we'd argue
What happened to the kisses and why how are you?
Forgot about the times when I rhymed when I bathed you
Rings was the only little things that I gave you
Still ain't thankful, you're still complaining
Used to be a quiet storm but now it's raining
Quality ever, I'm thinking whether
We should be friends let it end, is it better
To forgive or remember, your bodies tender
The vibes that I send her makes her surrender
The physical capture, caught in a rapture, no woman can't match her
So when I'm looking at ya
Paint a perfect picture so you can remember me
But you'll get fried at the end if you pretend to be

Chorus: (2x)
