原始歌词 (English)
Friends
I’m sitting wondering some days the way life passes us by,
I bumped into a girl I knew there was a tear in her eye,
I asked her why, why was she crying?
She just looked up and sighed - I’m fine,
Ain’t no denying she has something on her mind,
If I’d have only made more time for my friend,
Maybe she could open up to me and she could depend,
But so quickly happy memories, can descend,
Once upon a time we made a pact we where friends till the end,
She used to do - talk the truth, back in the days,
Cos we were tight this girl and I - but time quickly changed,
We all go through struggles, and we all need a friend,
And as I mentioned she was crying,
Well, what’s the reason?
Heard through the streets she’s just a victim of domestic violence,
Like when a flower blossoms, gets no water, won't break the silence,
It starts to wilt, cant feed it's needs, then weeds take over her flowerbed,
Before you knew it, that flower could be dead.
Girl, take time, time can just pass you by,
Don’t you cry, just be what I know you can,
I’ll be there for you, I am your friend.
I met this boy that I knew from once upon a time,
We played tig, when we were kids, but he chose the life of grime,
Its too easy for a young man to get caught in this crap,
So many wanting to rap, to get up out of the trap,
That they're born, or bred, or fed themselves into,
So many people with talent, wasting, chasing,
Drugs and bad dreams, the reality we're facing.
So this man I knew grew up? – No...
Blew up? – No...
Might end up getting slew up,
He preferred easy money, don’t call him a man honey (x2).
When he is grown, it will be known to him,
But in them circles, trust is a rarity,
He ended up grassed and locked-up, and then you see..
Life becomes a cycle, in and out of nick trying to hold himself a title,
Ending up on drugs, cos he's lost his way in life, 'n' can no longer kill his cold with NyQuil,
AIDS - it's just a matter of how many of the girls, he has the cheek to call whores, has he gave that shit to and can never settle the score.
Girl, take time, time can just pass you by,
Don't you cry just be what I know you can,
I'll be there for you, I am your friend.
Hey boy, I realised,
You can't hide the way your feeling inside,
Try so hard to be the macho man,
I'll be there for you, I am your friend.
