NO NEW FRIENDS
Yeah
Funny how it changes When the lights come on I remember who
was there And
who was gone
Back when the rent was late And the fridge had nothing in
it You could count my real ones On one hand in a
minute Now the phone won't stop ringing Everybody got a reason Funny
how they found my number When they heard I started eating I
was grinding in the background Nobody saw the hours
Now they wanna stand beside me Like they helped me build the
tower I don't need another handshake I don't need another favor If
you couldn't see the vision Don't come looking for the paper I
had to learn the difference
Between love and convenience
Some people want your progress
But they don't want you exceeding
Now I'm moving with intention
I don't tell them where I'm headed
Less people at the table But the conversations better No new friends
I know how this story ends
Everybody loves the view When you're standing at the top again
No new friends
I don't need to pretend
If you weren't there in the dark Don't come looking for me
when it ends
No new friends No,
I don't need another one
I got peace, I got purpose
I got work that still ain't done No new friends I'm good
with who I know If you missed me when I was building
You don't get me when I blow
I remember empty rooms
And a secondhand ambition
Had a dream inside my chest With nobody's permission
Every failure taught me something Every loss became a lesson Now I'm
careful who I listen to And careful who I mention
I don't flex for validation I don't chase another status
I just want my people good And a life that I can
manage
You can keep the invitations To the parties and the sections
I'd rather build another business Than collect another mention
I had to learn the difference
Between loyalty and access
Some people call you family Just because they see your progress
Now I'm moving with intention Every step is calculated
I don't owe an explanation
For the person I've created
I don't hold grudges I just changed my circle I don't need
revenge I just changed my purpose Same city Different mindset Same people
Different access
If you love me,
love me
Don't love what I became
If you're here for the moment
You can leave the same way
No new No new
No new friends I know who stayed I know who left
No new No new
No new friends I built this life With what I had left
No new friends
I know how this story ends
Everybody loves the view When you're standing at the top again
No new friends
I don't need to pretend If you weren't there in the dark
Don't come looking for me when it ends No new friends I'm
good with who I know Less people in the room But I
know who I can trust No new friends Yeah,
I'm good where I'm at You
can celebrate the finish But you weren't there for the climb
No hard feelings
No explanations Just different circles Different conversations No new friends...
I'm good.
