Friends Lyrics - Distant Relatives - Damian "junior Gong" Marley

These later days in Babylon 

As I watch your children grow 

And the years them carry on 

And I miss you even more 

Still I send them go to school 

And tell them 

What dem fi know 

All of mi friend dem mi salute 

Daddi gon and Lenny Screw 

Another year has come and past 

Man a drop like morning dew 

Uncle Warrick sick and gone 

When him couldn't catch a flew 

Picka T you a mi don 

Respect long and overdue 

When nothing never did a gwan 

You still have on somethin' new 

Our friendship ever last 

All when one minus from few 

Yes we surely had a blast 

We're like family me and you 

I know every path you cross 

Lead to somebody whe' true 

Of the many that are called 

Only chosen is a few 

Of the real friends that serve you long 

Your memories might fade 

Your real friends will serve you long 

Sunshine or rain 

Your real friends will serve you long 

Acquaintances will fade 

Your real friends wont do you wrong 

Real friend don't change 

Only talking with winners 

A loser or two 

Got my number 

Still they think they real 

But they just really awfully bitter 

Salty niggas hate the smarter ones 

These are the doubters 

Who's our bout my run 

I barely made it out the slums 

My value high cause I do more than 

Rap about a gun 

I made money for niggas 

Y'all never looking out for none 

I helped millionaires get to that very position 

Some real millionaires see that's ill 

Cause look at statistics 

Real millionaires 

And I ain't talking ghetto riches 

Thorough business 

You mistreating niggas 

Heard your folks bleed in prison 

You ain't a G 

And if you was 

I don't recall 

Who would roll with y'all 

Buncha fucking know it alls 

Who's dough is small 

Look what's it come to 

Our rapport's good no more 

We was good before 

Till I saw what type a dude you took me for 

We had a chance to take paper down 

What I took was more 

Because of hatred 

Opportunity wasted 

Your real friends will serve you long 

Your car and clothes will fade 

Your real friend wont do you wrong 

Real friend don't change 

Hey 

Your real friend won't run in war 

Nuh care what the cost is 

You real friends are in for all the wins and the losses 

Fi Real! 

No question at all 

Them ready fi rise the tallest 

Take to the enemies 

All for one 

And one for all this 

Real friend will hear you out 

No secret feelings 

Real friends won't sell you out 

No bargain pleading 

For real! 

Always looking out 

A meal! 

When outside a drought 

Your real! 

Friend won't hide you out 

No 

Your real friends will serve you long 

When all else fails 

Your real friend wont do you wrong 

Real friend don't change 

May laughter 

From backstabbers 

Turn to tears faster 

I wish for you 

No snake shall slither past ya 

You have to 

Keep your vision clear 

Cause only a coward lives in fear 

My surroundings 

Got only real powerful niggas here 

Real men we have a code of ethics 

No question 

No jealousies 

No feminine tendencies 

We expecting 

No gossip 

No phony logic 

No counting your homey pocket 

Spare no expense for legal defense 

If your homey locked up 

No keeping tabs 

On who was the last who looked out 

Selfishness 

That's a character flaw 

No holding out 

Yo what happened to the honor? 

You're dealing with 

Sensitive Pre-Madonna drama 

Teflon love 

For my dudes who solid 

Your real friends will serve you long 

Your memories might fade 

Your real friends will serve you long 

Sunshine or rain, eh 

Your real friends will serve you long, woe ya woe 

When all else fails 

Your real friends wont do you wrong 

Real friend don't change 

Real friend don't change 

Real friend don't change 

Real friend don't change 

Real friend don't change
