(Verse 1)
Catch me in the corner not speaking, first heard Ghost say it, Lord knows that's how I play it
'cause most of these bozos will fake it, hiding hatred behind handshakes and embraces
If you ain't careful may mistake it, for true love and end up backstabbed and snake bit
your whole landscape is tainted, where n*****' true colours ain't in the picture they painted
Look, can't trust these senioritas either, think she's your Bonnie till she start telling as quick as Tia
I suggest you just treat 'em fair, sleeping next to me playing catch with Steve McNair
Yeah, these names are batty, better beware or you can hang with Gatti
see sadly you really get no benefit, from a friendship with Brutus, Judas, or Benedict
(Chorus)
Yeah see there's a limit to the love, human nature says the hate is in their blood
keep your friends close, your enemies closer, y'all might find they're one and the same before it's over
(Verse 2)
Gangstarr called it betrayal, come the moment of truth, money and l*** leave no buddies to trust
the trife life is filled with b.s., where enemies be less threats than your BFF's
Thin line between love and hate, can't differentiate from your bitter rival and your running mate
when the stakes are high some are just as likely to save your behind, as knife a blade in your spine
They deceive with smiles and high fives, secretly devise how to lead to your demise
can leave you a**ed out to a large extent, when n***** got two faces like Harvey Dent
Don't be rolling with the phony sort, think he your homie till he hopping out the Trojan Horse
you gotta see through the camouflage, or get sabotaged by your own entourage
(Chorus)
Yeah see there's a limit to the love, human nature says the hate is in their blood
reminiscent of crabs in a bucket, love is hard to find when backstabbing's abundant
(Verse 3)
First heard Nas say it, best friends become strangers, but at that time I ain't relate with it
as I've grown I've seen how true colours get shown and learned to keep so-called friends at a safe distance
When you up n***** show you love, but turn on you like a German Shepherd over drugs
long as you got a buzz you can call 'em bud, hit a slump and the s*** be ready to jump, start slinging mud
I limit expectations knowing that many men fall victim to last temptations
even the most promising relation, can still be evolved to a hostile separation
I stay in constant preparation, so the day of betrayal is no shocking revelation
'cause truly you really get no benefit fom a friendship with a Brutus, Judas, or Benedict
(Chorus)
Yeah see there's a limit to the love, human nature says the hate is in their blood
game's sick, this is the remedy, with friends like these who really needs any enemies?
