No New Friends

Yeah, uh

No new friends, that's the motto now

I been burned too many times, no cap

People switchin' up when you make it off the map

Smiles in my face but they plottin' on my back

Now I keep my circle tight, that's a proven fact

Used to let 'em in, now I'm buildin' up these walls

Too many fake love stories, seen too many falls

They was never there when I was down and out

Now they want a piece when they hear what I'm about, uh

Trust issues runnin' deep in my veins

Every handshake feel like it come with chains

I remember nights when nobody came through

Now they all around but I don't know what's true

No new friends, no new friends, yeah

I can't let you in, can't let you in

Been hurt before, won't happen again

No new friends, no new friends, let's go

They say I changed up, but nah I just grew wise

Learned to see the snakes hidin' in disguise

Loyalty's a language that most don't speak

So I stick with my day ones, that's my critique, skrrt

Money bring the phonies out the woodwork fast

But where was you when I ain't have a dime to last

I remember strugglin', nobody hit my line

Now my phone blow up but I press decline

It's a cold world, gotta guard your energy

Can't be lettin' everybody claim they friend to me

I done paid the cost, learned the hard way

Now I move in silence, that's how I play, sheesh

No new friends, no new friends, yeah

I can't let you in, can't let you in

Been hurt before, won't happen again

No new friends, no new friends, gang

Yeah, that's just how it gotta be

No new friends in this life for me
