you left me injured
you left me all alone
backs turned, heads down
couldn't even pick up the phone
you called yourself my friend
sometimes my family
now nothing separates you from all the cowards see
i'm better off without you inside my life at all
i've got real family that stick tight and stand tall
now separate the fake
remove 'em one by one
my people don't hesitate
game bred family never runs
when times are tough
it just thickens my skin
you were never really there
dare you call yourself my friend
i'm made of sterner stuff
than you can understand
it takes a little more than havin' a kid to call yourself a man
motherfuckers, i know you can all hear us now
deaf months ago when you were burning them bridges down
and now you'd better respect the sound
hardcore lives it's hit or miss that's why we're chargin' the mound
i took you in, showed you the way
you were never my friend, just a pathetic fake
