Friends Lyrics - The Carters

[Chorus: Beyoncé] 

My friends, real friends, better than your friends 

That's how we keep poppin' out that Benz, yeah 

No foes, real friends, we ain't even got to pretend, yeah 

Get bands, get bands, spend it all on my friends 

[Refrain: Beyoncé] 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

And never let me down (they never let me down) 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

And never let me drown (never let me drown) 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

And never let me drown (never let me down) 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

I'll never hit the ground (never let me drown, never let me drown)

[Chorus: Beyoncé] 

My friends, real friends, better than your friends, yeah 

Thats how we keep popping out that Benz, yeah 

For friends, real friends, better than your friends, yeah 

That's them, that's them, they know all my business 

[Verse 1: Beyoncé] 

I don't know what I would do without all of my crew, yeah 

I ain't makin' no room, yeah, I ain't makin' no new friends 

I don't make no moves, yeah, without tellin' my crew, yeah 

That just how we do, yeah, that just how we do, oh 

Damn it, I love my life, Styrofoam cups, no ice 

Party 'fore we go inside 

Never let them out my sight, they're right by my side 

Them my ride-or-dies, them my ride-or-dies 

My friends are goals, your friends are foes 

We fly, why cry, our souls exposed, yeah 

We smoke, we laugh, your stress, my stress 

Closer than kin, I'm blessed, you blessed

[Verse 2: JAY-Z] 

Ten toes, ten toes, we was out in that road, uh 

Lookin' for love in wrong places, we proposed to a stove, yeah 

Shared jewels, shared clothes, that's how deep shit goes, yeah 

Every week, ya got bros, all of y'all fake close 

Y'all switchin' sides like NBA teams just after halftime 

I'm pullin' up on my dog, make sure he okay, I don't even have time 

He copped me a Porsche with butterscotch seats 

This 'fore they had meals 

Live better than rappers and they don't even have deals, that real 

Bought Emory a BM as soon as he came home 

We hopped on a plane, headed straight to the Bay 

That's how we turn the game on, it's game on 

Ty mama died, I was there, my nephew died, he was there 

He in my house more than I be there, more than B there 

Ty-Ty there, E there, Breezy there, Juan there 

High here, Chaka there, Law there, they all here, ah yeah 

Dez there, Kawanna here, shit feel like nirvana here 

Crib like the SoHo House, I might stay in and grow out my hair 

Tight circle, no squares, I'm geometrically opposed to you 

Y'all like to try angles, y'all like to troll, do you? 

Y'all talk around hoes, do you? Y'all don't follow codes do you? 

You know everything you say from niggas close to you 

You emotional; when I say free the dogs, I free 'em 

That's how Meek got his freedom 

Y'all put niggas on a t-shirt, it hurts you ain't never meet 'em 

You got niggas in the feds, you ain't even tryna feed 'em 

I'm tryna free the world, that's how deep I'm in 

I ain't goin' to nobody nothin' when me and my wife beefin' 

I don't care if the house on fire, I'm dyin', nigga, I ain't leavin' 

Ty-Ty take care of my kids, after he done grievin' 

If y'all don't understand that, we ain't meant to be friends 

[Refrain: Beyoncé] 

Pull me up, pull me up, pull me up (pull me up) 

And never let me down (they never let me down) 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

And never let me drown (never let me drown) 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up (pull me up) 

And never let me down (never let me down) 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

They never let me down (never let me drown, never let me down) 

[Verse 3: Beyoncé] 

They pray and pray for me, they pray and pray for me 

See better things for me 

Want better days for me unselfishly 

They pray and pray for me, they pray and pray for me 

Whenever I'm in need 

They in the backseat with the aux bumpin' Bey 

They don't cry at all, we don't cry and ball 

In my car, car, car, you know, ball, ball hard 

They my d-d-dogs 

[?] 

Point 'em out, out, out 

Point 'em out, out, out 

What would I be without my friends 

(what would I be without my friends) 

I ain't got no understanding 

(I ain't got no understanding) 

Rob them, you might catch these hands 

We fall out and we make amends, yeah, yeah 

[Chorus: Beyoncé] 

Your friends are foes, my friends are goals 

Closer than kin, our souls exposed 

Your friends are frauds, all they want is applause, yeah 

And my friends, real friends, closer than kin 

[Outro: Beyoncé] 

Come pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

Them never let me drown 

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

Them never let me down 

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

Them never let me down 

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up 

Them pull me up, pull me up, pull me up
