From the recording Instinct
Lyrics
Hey, ya heard the word on the streetFriends be watching you, and they don't miss a beatHey, ya heard the news on the blockFriends looking for you, and you're gonna get caught
Why'd you break this heart of mine?Gai Yah Yah Mah Go Go WahIf you hated my love you should've said soGai Yah Yah Mah Go Go WahSorry you've done and waste my timeGai Yah Yah Mah Go Go WahCause when my friends find out you'll need to goGai Yah Yah Mah Go Go Wah
Start your running, lace up those shoesYou're done when my friends hear the news'Cause with friends like mineYou won't make it out aliveThink that you'll toy with hearts this way?Not if they have anything to sayMess with me, yeah go and make my dayBut I wouldn't stick around 'cause
My friends they're the toughest kids aroundIt's all ours when they're back in townAin't no enemies with messed up friends like theseKeep one eye open when you sleepMy friends do time in every stateThe feds won't even look us straightAin't no enemies with messed up friends like theseLet's light it up, a-light it up, up, crew!
Why's a bruise right below your eye?Gai Yah Yah Mah Go Go WahI don't know where that's from but it serves you rightGai Yah Yah Mah Go Go WahLooks like karma throws a nasty punchGai Yah Yah Mah Go Go WahBut I hear it gets worse, yeah, the longer you stick aroundGai Yah Yah Mah Go Go Wah
Start your running, lace up those shoesYou're done when my friends hear the news'Cause with friends like mineYou won't make it out aliveNo remorse, and there's no parlayWhen my friends come out to play"I told you so"'s what I'm gonna sayIf you don't get out now 'cause
My friends they're the toughest kids aroundIt's all ours when they're back in townAin't no enemies with messed up friends like theseKeep one eye open when you sleepMy friends do time in every stateThe feds won't even look us straightAin't no enemies with messed up friends like theseLet's light it up, a-light it up, up, crew!
Hey, ya heard the word on the streetFriends be watching you, and they don't miss a beatHey, ya heard the news on the blockFriends looking for you, and you're gonna get caughtYa heard bout the kids who gave us smack?Well our friends they taught em to never talk backYa heard about the kids getting in our face?Well our friends they always put em in their place
My friends be my friends be the toughest kids aroundYeah they are Yeah they are
My friends they're the toughest kids aroundIt's all ours when they're back in townAin't no enemies with messed up friends like theseKeep one eye open when you sleepMy friends do time in every stateThe feds won't even look us straightAin't no enemies with messed up friends like theseLet's light it up, a-light it up, up, crew!
