Origineel
Nate Dogg]
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
[Snoop Doggy Dogg]
Every since I could remember
I had friends I could depend on
Clothes to lend ‘em
But as time went by
My life got a little strange
And the rules of the game seem to change
Trust, honesty and devotion
And money, money, money is the poison potion
There’s no way that I can even say
That this game has been good to me
Or even bad to me it had to be
Cause tragically the way this shit
Cracked off for Doggy Dogg was magically
And now I’m gettin’ everything I’m supposed to get
But my friendship with niggas always ends up as bulshit
I listen to my momma though
She always tried to prepare me
Byt how could she do what I
I mean I’m do or die
But my life on the streets
That shit is suicide
So to cope I got a dogg and a locc
And keep my heat close in case these jokes go for broke
I’m mashin’ with the click 2-1-3 that is
They my homeboys ever since kids-
Real friends to the end
[Chorus (Nate Dogg):]
Hangin’ out with my homies and I’m feelin’ just fine
I’ve been ponderin’ lately
A lot of different things on my mind
It seems lately my friends list
Done took a slight decline
And if you wanna know the trith man, man
Them wasn’t no friends of mine
[Warren G]
You jackin’ me up, you takin’ my cash
All my life L-B-C, for my city I mash
All those OGs and BGs and wannabies and L-O-Cs
The only friends I got is my 2-1-3s
That’s my nigga Snoop D Woop and my nigga N-A-T-E
I can’t forget about my nigga H to the Deezy
Pressure and strikes
Don’t wann take no lives
But these jaws, cracks and hood cracks
Will make you break bizacks
Whussup homie, can I borrow some cash?
Last week I agve you 500, so kiss my ass
I got a baby to feed
A familly to see through
And shake busta snitches tweekin’ like you
Homies and friends that’s what they for
Stayin’ tight and money right
And bustin’ with a 44
[Chorus (x2)]

Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them

Every since I could remember
I had friends I could depend on
Clothes to lend ‘em
But as time went by
werd mijn leven een beetje vreemd
En de regels van het spel leken te veranderen
Vertrouwen, eerlijkheid en toewijding
En geld, geld, geld is het gifdrankje
Er is geen manier dat ik kan zeggen
Dat dit spel goed voor me is geweest
Of zelfs slecht voor mij moest zijn
Want tragisch genoeg de manier waarop deze shit
Cracked off for Doggy Dogg was magisch
En nu krijg ik alles wat ik hoor te krijgen.
But my friendship with niggas always ends as bulshit
I listen to my momma though
She always tried to prepare me
Maar hoe kon ze doen wat ik deed?
Ik bedoel, ik ben doen of sterven.
Maar mijn leven op de straat
Die shit is zelfmoord.
Dus om ermee om te gaan heb ik een hond en een locc
En hou mijn warmte in de buurt voor het geval deze grappen uit de hand lopen
I’m mashin’ with the click 2-1-3 that is
They my homeboys ever since kids-
Real friends to the end
[Chorus (Nate Dogg):]
Hangin’ out with my homies and I’m feelin’ just fine
I’ve been ponderin’ lately
A lot of different things on my mind
It seems lately my friends list
een lichte daling heeft doorgemaakt
And if you wanna know the trith man, man
Dat waren geen vrienden van mij
[Warren G]
You jackin’ me up, you takin’ my cash
M’n hele leven L-B-C, voor m’n stad
Al die OGs en BGs en wannabies en L-O-Cs
De enige vrienden die ik heb zijn mijn 2-1-3s
Dat is mijn nigga Snoop D Woop en mijn nigga N-A-T-E
I can’t forget about my nigga H to the Deezy
Druk en stakingen
Don’t wann take no lives
Maar deze kaken, scheuren en kap scheuren
Zal je bizacks doen breken
Whussup homie, kan ik wat geld lenen?
Vorige week gaf ik je 500, dus kus mijn kont
I got a baby to feed
A family to see through
En shake busta snitches tweekin’ like you
Homies and friends that’s what they for
Stayin ’tight and money right
And bustin’ with a 44
