Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Tecknikian]
My spine is numb from the knife
Dull and dumb
My relationships with friends
Have been somewhat cumbersome
Said you were on the way
But you never came
First time I got stabbed in the back
Never was the same
I see crowds of people
Do they plan on doing bad things to me?
Wonder if I know ‘em,
Maybe they’re some distant kin to me
Maybe they’re demons
Disguised as humans
Can’t wrap my head around this confusion
Losing my mind, I’m fuming
I hate that I can’t talk to people
‘Cause I’m scared they’ll fuck me over
Have me bending over
Backwards, just to tell me it’s over
I’ve become an isolated entity
Because of new enemies
Take my pride and my dignity
Their words keep digging into me
The cold wind’s blowin’ into me
Like ice piercing my skin
Too many friends lied to me
Don’t they know that’s a sin?
But none of that’s happening
Never ever again
And if it does
I’m taking a rusty blade to someone’s fucking skin
[Hook - Akenna]
I’m not made of gold
So bad things come to an end
Fake friends treat me like a joke
Fake friends don’t play games
I’m talking ‘bout fake, fake friends (3x)
[Verse 2 - Tecknikian]
I once had a friend who said
We were pals to the end
Then they cut the rope that tied our friendship together
And
I moved away before I could confront them
And give ‘em a piece of my mind
For the betrayal for nothing
Why go and abandon me
For people who only see
You as a fucking loser
And a usable tooler?
Tool, I mean
But you should get the gist of what I’m saying
They say unreliability has no reliable way of paying
Talked about me, stole my stuff
Then flexed like it was yours
Made up rumors about me
Running your mouth like a whore
I regret not kicking your ass when I had the chance
Now I gotta walk around strangers going only by the first glance
I’m very prejudiced against humans
‘Cause your nature is clear
Can’t say shit about me, I’m an alien
Not even from here
[Hook - Akenna]
I’m not made of gold
So bad things come to an end
Fake friends treat me like a joke
Fake friends don’t play games
I’m talking ‘bout fake, fake friends (3x)
[Verse 3 - Tecknikian]
At this point,
I’m only down by maybe 2 or 3 friends
One fucked the other over
I’ll probably never speak to them again
Why can’t people just be nicer to you
Just be realer to you
More truthful to you
Instead of hurting and using you
You never know, I could be close to losing you
We were destined to meet, there was no choosing you
We came up poor but could grow up to be bougie too
Our friendship is an addiction the users do
Sometimes I feel like I should start taking pills
Make the pain go away, just let me run to the hills
Good times, good vibes, let’s all run for the hills
Let’s all party ‘til the break of dawn, got a lifetime to kill
[Hook - Akenna]
I’m not made of gold
So bad things come to an end
Fake friends treat me like a joke
Fake friends don’t play games
I’m talking ‘bout fake, fake friends (3x)
