Gucci Mane Fake Friends

Gucci Mane spent the past year establishing and solidifying the 1017 roster. Though he delivered projects like So Icy Boyz, Icy Daddy and Christmas’ So Icy Christmas. Each of these projects offered a few solid cuts from Wop but they largely served to highlight the artists under his wing. However, it seems like Wop could be cooking up something more personal for 2022.

Earlier today, Gucci Mane kicked off his 2022 campaign with the release of his latest single, “Fake Friends.” The rapper flips Whodini’s 1985 song, “Friends” on this one, as he offers his one-year-old son Ice tales from his come-up. Ultimately, the song focuses on Wop’s rise to the top and those who were loyal and disloyal to him on the way up.

Lyrics

[Intro]
You know it’s family first off top
And blood, we stick it in water
And there’s no friend indeed like a friend in need (Why?)
But there’s one thing you gotta watch and that’s a friend in greed (Why?)
Lil’ Ice is one years old right now, it’s time that you learn more about your pops
I know you was born rich and you the baby CEO (For sure)
But know one think, you gotta know that’s a cruel world out here
And everybody’s not your friend, you hear me? (Not at all)
Your dad always got your back (J. White, I need a—)

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a lil’ story about this boy named ‘Wop (Well, damn)
A lil’ local corner boy who used to serve crack rocks (Rocks)
He drove a old-ass Buick, it had plastic in the window (Buick)
And every time you see him, under his shirt, pulled the extendo
Brother from a different mother, we won’t name no names (Mom)
We used to pick up cash together, tradin’ Nintendo games (Yeah)
We started trappin’, went to rappin’, we was like Kim J and picked him (Yeah)
Then one of us was cold, the other one would be a sister (Skrrt)
Now this a low down, curvy, bitch, don’t let them play you, oppositions (Nah)
The eagle have you thinkin’ that’s your friend, your opposition (Huh?)
Man, everything we ever got, we got that out the kitchen (Kitchen)
And we went in the booth, was ’cause we probably water-whippin’ (Skrrt)
Tried to play that fine and conquer, but we winnin’ competition (Yeah)
Like, how the fuck you ain’t gon’ give Guwop his recognition? (‘Wop)
The moneys get on and forget who came up with ’em in the trenches (Well, damn)
But just like an asshole, I guess we all get an opinion (‘Wop)

[Chorus]
Friends (Go), not many of us have them, let’s talk about friends (Let’s talk about it)
Not ones we can depend on, let’s talk about friends (No, no, naw)
‘Cause not many of us have them, I’m talkin’ ’bout friends (Let’s talk about it)
Not ones we can depend on (Go)

[Verse 2]
I remember in the pen’, I didn’t have much friends (Nah)
Some people thought I do twentie, some said I do ten (Well, damn)
Please protect me from my enemies and so-called friends (Yeah, yeah)
They never thought that I’d be bad, but it was all God’s plan (Yeah)
No commissary, let ’em in them four damn visits (Yeah)
Wouldn’t be surprised now that Guwop won’t kick it (No, no)
Got married when I got out, that was my single best decision (Yeah)
Now I’m like, “Fuck a friend, I need one like a co-defendant” (Woah)
Even benched up in the back by your right-hand man (Right-hand)
Don’t never tell your left hand what your right got planned (Well, damn)
To keep some people out my business, had to burn a couple bridges
‘Cause gettin’ played for ’em fools went out of style with true religion (Woah)
Your friendships slow as some friendships grow (Grow)
Grew with friends back then, but we not friends no more (No)
Yeah, it’s some friends like family and friends like bros (Bros)
But there’s some friends gettin’ jealous, that’s when friends turn foes (Well, fuck)

[Chorus]
Friends (Go, go, go), not many of us have them, let’s talk about friends (Let’s talk about it)
Not ones we can depend on, let’s talk about friends (No, no, naw)
‘Cause not many of us have them, I’m talkin’ ’bout friends (Let’s talk about it)
Not ones we can depend on (Go), friends (Well, damn)

[Outro]
Friends (Yeah)
You know us, no
You know it’s a hit ’cause J. White just picked a stick
Friends
No
