Every now and then I get a little crazy
That's not the way it's supposed to be Sometimes my vision is a little hazy I can't tell who I should trust or just who I let trust me (yeah) People try to say I act a little funny But that's just a figure of speech to me They tell me I changed because I got money But if you were there before then you're still down with me *What about your friends will they stand their ground Will they let you down again What about your friends are they gonna be low down Will they ever be around or will they turn their backs on you Well is it me or can it be I'm a little too Friendly so to speak hypothetically Say I supply creativity to what others Must take as a form of self-hate Only to make an enemy Which results in unfortunate destiny They dog me out then be next to me Just cause I am what some choose to envy Every now and then I get a little easy I let a lot of people depend on me I never though they would ever deceive me Don't you know when times got rough I was standing on my own I'll never let another get that close to me You see I've grown a lot smarter now Sometimes you have to choose and then you'll see If your friend is true they'll be there with you Through the thick and thin *repeat Yo is it me, is it me or can it be I am a little too friendly So to speak hypothetically Say supply creativity to what others Must take as a form of self-hate Only to make an enemy Which results in unfortunate destiny They dog me out then be next to me Just cause I am what some choose to envy *repeat People say I act a little funny I wouldn't change not for no money I'll be a friend as long as you're a friend to me (yeah, yeah) Even though I might seem easy It don't give you no cause to deceive me It's not the way that I want my friends to ever be *repeat |
