Firm Friends lyrics by Drake

0:01Yeah

0:02Con-Con—

0:03And we back at it, back at it

0:05Conductor

0:06For real

0:07Shout out Ref1

0:09Yeah, alright

0:13You think I didn't see that you stayed silent

0:15That's like you endorsing it all, may as well stand behind him

0:19I stood beside you, thought there was some good inside you

0:21Situations like these, they force you to notice the difference

0:24Look at me and Neeks for instance

0:26We know we live different lives and we've been on our separate missions

0:29Look at how time flies, twenty years passed, he's still the same guy

0:33But I get it, you all wanna be the main guy

0:35It explains why most people die not knowin' who would've stuck by they side

0:39It doesn't even cross they mind, they just go along for the ride

0:42They'll never know they friends' decision, friends never had to decide

0:47What does somebody do after doin' everything you could've done for everyone?

0:51You just do what you should've done since day one, you stick with your day ones

0:55I'm not the villain or the victim, I am the author

0:58My right hand guides the pen along the page until the chapter's done

1:01What would they do to me if they ever caught me ridin' dolo?

1:04Would they take my chain and my watch or would they take my photo?

1:07Fuck that, I'm in the stu' with Noel, the sun went down, we couldn't tell

1:11It's so many opportunities, but we still here by ourselves

1:14It's been nearly fourteen years, he ain't work with no one else

1:17And I ain't go to no one else, that's 'cause there's no better team, yeah

1:21Trust me, the owl's glistenin' more than it's ever been

1:24And trust me, I'm the highest that I've ever been

1:27The greatest that they've ever seen

1:28I've been alternating from being overseas and listenin' to beats

1:32Strong opinions from the weak for four hundred-somethin' weeks

1:35They deep-seated resentment is what's fillin' up they seats

1:38I've seen GOATs act like sheeps, coworkers turn to enemies

1:42Damn, I got enemies, got a lot of enemies

1:45Lot of niggas tryna drain me of my energy

1:48Right now, me and Conductor, we got more fuckin' chemistry than MIT

1:52Two hours, Gstaad for some peace and serenity

1:55Then it's back to Zurich for the OVO supremacy and the hotel amenities

2:00They try to have all of my precious memories

2:02Layin' in my girl's lap like she Jackie Onassis and I'm John Kennedy

2:06But I am not Jonathan Kennedy

2:08Rest in peace, but I really can't bloody up the triple-button Giovanni suit because I'm OCD

2:14I don't want no "Drake, my apologies," I'm trippin' your top three

2:18My group chat was bumpin' those oppy guys, but not me

2:21Like beggin' to get out a ticket, now they wanna cop pleas

2:23My son is takin' corner kicks in front of Luis Enrique at PSG

2:27And y'all are talkin' 'bout inflatin' the numbers on DSPs

2:30And me havin' better perspective on life doin' DMT

2:34Nigga, KYS ASAP, that's some shit that you could do for me

2:40Like it was my first Chanel, I could've posted receipts

2:43That would've made niggas read 'em and weep

2:46Reportin' live from the scene where I wasn't supposed to be revived by the EMTs, yeah

2:51I did not break up a happy home, baby, you pulled up on me

2:55Tell 'em why you really hate me and what year did she date me

2:58I know niggas goin' crazy as I cop all the items you niggas put up for sale

3:02And start a museum in my house called "Try Someone Else"

3:05Your friends never had to decide if they wanna stay

3:08The strength of your bond has never been tested in any way

3:11I've been on the longest run, I don't know how to walk away

3:14It's baby steps for you boys, y'all walkin' before y'all run

3:17Secludin' me might've been the worst thing that they ever done

3:20I'm a product of where I'm from, one sound, one band

3:23The orders make they way through the proper chain of command

3:26And if everything goes to plan

3:28I will be makin' the name change from the boy to the man

3:31But y'all just wouldn't understand, damn

3:34From mass distribution to leadin' my own version of the revolution

3:38Private arbitration leads to resolution

3:40Beat the game so many times, this shit has got abusive

3:43Fuck you artists and producers

3:44I don't wanna hear excuses of your plans for future truces

3:47I am so far gone that a thank-me-later is useless now

3:51CTE from tryin' me and still, they want another hit

3:54Made a livin' off of oh-no-he-didn'ts, bitch, yes I did

3:58Skeletons in your closet, well, trust this ain't the bone to pick

4:01They say, "What we doin', Ice?" We runnin' it back

4:04What has Iceman ever done other than that?

4:06Even when under attack

4:08Y'all don't know the stamina it takes to run up the stats

4:11My numbers are humblin' facts

4:13Mistakin' my sons for brothers, but it won't happen again

4:16You better check your tone, I'm not one of y'all lil' friends

4:19I got shots about to fly at some of y'all heads again

4:22Man, shots about to fly

4:23Even though some of my friends still talk about you guys like they leanin' towards your side

4:28I think karma's takin' too long, an eye for both of your eyes

4:31That'll show you love is blind for real

4:34You all wanna be the guy

4:35It explains why most people die not knowin' who would've stuck by they side

4:39It doesn't even cross they mind, they just go along for the ride

4:43They'll never know they friends' decisions, friends never had to decide
