[Intro: Jelleestone, Nelly Furtado]
Yeah you know
(We always gotta come different)
(And you know where we sendin' this)
All over the world
Where at? Where at?
All over the world
[Hook: Nelly Furtado]
Don't need no fair-weather
Don't need no part-time friends
I show love to all my hard time friends
'Cause they was here through all the hard times
And there ain't too many people that I call my friends
[Chorus: Jelleestone & Nelly Furtado, Nelly Furtado]
You never was a friend of mine (No, no)
You tried to deceive me (Tried to deceive me)
You never was a friend of mine (Never was a friend of mine)
You didn't believe me (Oh, you didn't believe me)
[Verse 1: Jelleestone]
Now you can eat with your enemy
Speak with your enemy
But sleep with your enemy
You wake up in a cemetery
Hope you ain't buyin' that ******** they sellin' we
Got too many ****** locked up in the penitentiary
Still in the hood just over a quarter century
Ain't no good but we reppin' it like it's meant to be
Conquered mentally
Roll on a friend of me
They always get fried in the end when they pretend to be
Silence is golden and patience is a virtue
A friend ain't gotta help you
A friend don't hurt you
Friends don't plot with ****** and wanna murk you
A friend keep it real holmes
A friend's who you turn to
Good one's better than pocket change
And if you in the hood man
I need not explain
Show me your friends
I'll tell you who you are
From a bucket to a Benz
Nobody to a star
[Chorus: Jelleestone & Nelly Furtado, Nelly Furtado]
You never was a friend of mine (Never was a friend of mine)
You tried to deceive me (Tried to deceive me)
You never was a friend of mine (Never was a friend of mine)
You didn't believe me (Oh, you didn't believe me)
[Verse 2: Nelly Furtado]
We used to share our lunch
My mumma pack an apple
And I liked fruit punch
We didn't need much
Recess, we'd always share the see-saw
I'd never let you fall off
You were never too far
I'd help you braid your hair
You'd help me braid mine
Had a beautiful smile
I let you get your shine
Slowly you wiltered as you watched me get mine
Said "here, hold my hand"
But you took your time
We floated down the river backwards real slow
I had to leave you there as I rushed to my first show
But truth be told, you were the one who let go
I won't sit here and let you stop my flow
I'm not mad but now you're a stranger
With your breath of venom
Leaving thick trails of paper
I can't say hi, I won't call you later
And I don't have your back when people say "I hate her"
[Chorus: Jelleestone & Nelly Furtado, Nelly Furtado]
You never was a friend of mine (Never was a friend of mine)
You tried to deceive me (Oh, tried to deceive me)
You never was a friend of mine (Never was a friend of mine)
You didn't believe me (Oh, you didn't believe me)
[Bridge: Jelleestone, Nelly Furtado, Jelleestone & Nelly Furtado]
Now there is a few things that I hate (Oh-oh)
I hate me a liar and I hate me a snake (Oh-oh)
I hate a fake friend tryin' to infiltrate (Ooh-ooh, yeah)
Quick to take a bite when they try to create
Were you there to pick him up when the world let him down?
What kind of friend are you?
And when the world turns their back are you the friend that's around?
What kind of friend are you?
[Verse: Jelleestone, Nelly Furtado, Jelleestone & Nelly Furtado]
Really and truly if I know you ten years or better
Then I don't need to know you 'less we talkin' 'bout cheddar
'Cause real gon' recognize real forever
You need to recognize when the real's together (yeah)
And I ain't hatin' on all my new friends
But I'm just learnin' how to get my enemies to do things
Like fall right into my trap
I thought you liked my little raps
Then you tried to stick a knife into my back
Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah (All over the world)
[Hook: Jelleestone & Nelly Furtado]
Don't need no fair-weather
Don't need no part-time friends
I show love to all my hard time friends
'Cause they was here through all the hard times
And there ain't too many people that I call my friends
Don't need no fair-weather
Don't need no part-time friends
I show love to all my hard time friends
'Cause they was here through all the hard times
And there ain't too many people that I call my friends
You never was a friend of mine
