[Intro]
 C#m   G#m   Ax4
[Verse 1]
Real frieC#mnds, how many of G#mus?
How many of uAs, how many jealous? Real friendsC#m  
It's not many of G#mus, we smile at each otAher
But how many honest? Trust issuesC#m  
Switched up the numG#mber, I can't be bothereAd
I cannot blame you for havin' an angleC#m  
I ain't got no issG#mues, I'm just doin' my thiAng
Hope you're doin' your thing too
I'm a deadbeat couC#msin, I hate family reuniG#mons
Fuck the church Aup, I'm drinkin' at the communion
Spillin' free wC#mine, now my tux is ruiG#mned
In town for a dAay, what the fuck we doin'?
Who your real frieC#mnds? We all came from the botG#mtom
I'm always blamin' yAou, but what's sad, you're not the problem
Damn I forgot to call C#mher, shit I thought it was ThursG#mday
Why you wait a weAek to call my phone in the first place?
When was the lC#mast time I remembered a birthG#mday?
When was the lAast time I wasn't in a hurry?
[Bridge]
C#mTell me you want your G#mtickets when it's gAametime
Even to call your daughter on her FaceTimeC#m  
Even when we was yG#moung I used to make tAime
Now we be way too busy just to make timeC#m  
G#mEven for my.A..
[Hook]
AReal friends
I guess I get what I C#mdeserve, don't I?
G#mWord on the streets is they Aain't heard from him
I guess I get what I C#mdeserve, don't I?
G#mTalked down on my name, Athrowed dirt on him
[Verse 2]
I couldn't tell you C#mhow old your daughter G#mwas
Couldn't tell yoAu how old your son is
I got my own C#mJr. on the way, dG#mawg
Plus I aAlready got one kid
Couldn't tell you mC#much about the fam thG#mough
I just showed Aup for the yams though
Maybe 15 minuC#mtes, took some pictures with your sG#mister
Merry Christmas, then I'm fAinished, then it's back to business
You wanna ask some qC#muestions 'bout some real sG#mhit?
Like I ain't got eAnough pressure to deal with
Please don't C#mpressure me with that bill sG#mhit
Cause everybody got 'Aem, that ain't children
Oh you've been nC#mothin' but a friend to G#mme
Niggas thinkin' I'm cArazy, you defendin' me
It's funny I ain't C#mspoke to niggas in ceG#mnturies
To be honest, dAawg I ain't feelin' your energy
Money turn your C#mkin into an enG#memy
Niggas ain't rAeal as they pretend to be
[Verse 3]
Lookin' for C#mall my real frieG#mnds
How many of Aus? How many of us are real friC#mends
To real frG#miends, to the real eAnd
'Til the wheels fall C#moff, 'til the wheels don't G#mspin
To 3 AA.M., callin'C#m  G#m  
How many rAeal friends?
Just to ask you a question   
Just to C#msee how you was fG#meelin'
How mAany?
For the last you was frontin'
I hate when a nC#migga text you like, "what's G#mup, fam, oh you good?"
YAou say, "I'm good" then great, the next text they ask you for somethin'C#m  G#m  
How mAany?
What's best for your fC#mamily, immediate or exG#mtended
Any argAument, the media'll extend it
I had a coC#musin that stole my laptop that G#mI was fuckin' bitches on
Paid that nAigga 250 thousand just to get it from C#mhim
Real frieG#mnds   A  
Huh?C#m  
[Hook]
Real friends   G#m  A#m  
I guess I get what I C#mdeserve, don't I?
G#mWord on the streets is they Aain't heard from him
