Those from the L, always loyal
I help a friend when something happens to them
When something happens, I run like a greyhound
He says, hey, those from the L
I’m at a point where I don’t want to meet
New friends, new loves
Life hits me so hard I can’t even see
Who’s with me during the worst
Without money, I didn’t want the pain
I’m aware I made mistakes
I look into your eyes to see if you value me
You look at mine like they’re a dollar
Money soothes, but it doesn’t settle
Some got lost after their wedding day
In the street, I mess with those who mess with me
Always from the L, not for fame or fashion
Always with the rope, but I never feel stressed
Because I don’t want to be anyone’s boyfriend
Because I don’t want to be anyone’s friend
For my mother, I’d kill you, and that’s obvious
There was only one when I entered the station
I called while in jail, but no one picked up
I’ve never cried, I’ve always been firm
I only cried for my mother
I look to one side, no one I trusted is there
I look to the other side, and I knew they’d fail
I’ve always been alone, bad things in my life
I’ve always been alone, that’s just life
It doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, now I’m down to ten
And it doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, and ninety let me down at once
And it doesn’t hurt me
I only trust my shadow
And it doesn’t hurt me
If I’ve always been alone in life
And it doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, now I’m down to ten
And it doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, and ninety failed at once
And it doesn’t hurt me
I only trust my shadow
And it doesn’t hurt me, and it doesn’t hurt me
And it doesn’t hurt because I was hustling
It does hurt when one of them goes to heaven
It does hurt when you have to think about it
It doesn’t hurt if they’re killed first
If they don’t fail, it’s because they don’t see money
If they don’t fail, it’s because they don’t see a scandal
Add all that up, and then we’ll see
How everyone puts obstacles in your way
Always from the L, I’m never a cop
Always from the L, never a snitch
Ten friends, and for those ten, I’d kill you
Ten friends—ten friends without a contract
Ten good friends are worth more than twenty
Ten good friends are worth more than thirty
In a warned war, nobody dies
Don’t say you carry a .40
Ten good friends are worth more than three hundred
Ten good friends, and I don’t even count those
We’re from the L, never for fashion, always in the moment
And it doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, now I’m down to ten
And it doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, and ninety let me down at once
And it doesn’t hurt me
I only trust my shadow
And it doesn’t hurt me
If I’ve always been alone in life
And it doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, now I’m down to ten
And it doesn’t hurt me
A hundred friends, and ninety failed at once
And it doesn’t hurt me
I only trust my shadow
And it doesn’t hurt me, and it doesn’t hurt me
A friend treats you the way they like to be treated
If there’s a wedding, we dance
If there are problems, we fix them
Never abandon or cause harm
The one with many friends knows nothing
If you’ve got nothing, I won’t say anything
If we are, we are; halfway is for the mediocre
If my friend says “Here,” I say “Where? I’m coming.”
