Keep your friends close, but your money closer. Yea, thats the key. (Verse 1) Yo, listen up, let me drop some real talk, About where the lines of friendship and profit get chalked, In this game of business, gotta keep it tight, Never let your homies dim your profit's light. They say keep it real, but keep it green too, Gotta choose, is it friends or the money, that's true? In this jungle, it's survival of the fittest, Gotta make those dollars, even if it's with the quickest. (Chorus) Never place friendship above profit, that's the code, In this cold cold world, you gotta play it cool, Stack that metal, watch your back, don't get fooled, In the end, it's all about how your wallet gets full. (Verse 2) That's rule 21, Never place friendship above profit. bought and sold. Had a friend once, thought we were tight, But when it came to deals, his lobes weren't right, Business ain't personal, it's just the game, Gotta make those moves, keep feelings in their lane Profit's the king, and loyalty's a myth, Gotta keep climbing, can't afford that shit, Friendship's sweet, but money's sweeter, In this movie, gotta be the main feature. (Bridge) You think it's harsh, but that's just how it be, In the universe of wealth, keep this strategy, Friendship's a luxury, profit's a necessity, Pick relationships, with precision and frugality. (Chorus) (Outro) Profit's the goal, through struggle and strife, Keep your friends close, but your money closer.
