Artist: The Brothahood Album: Lyrics of Mass Construction Song: Friend or Foe Typed by: lugzlebo@gmail.com [Timur] I look deep deep deep into my soul [Jehad] I've known this guy man, we were best friends.. Since we were kids...always hanging out Me and him, we did everything together But, he was corrupting me man... I had to distance myself It was for the best.. Yeah....this is my story [Jehad] I've known this brother from way back in my past We were best friends but our friendship couldn't last Time went fast do the math but on him I can't assume I met this brother straight out my mother's womb Only toddlers but we were partners in crime One thing was on our mind, what's the time, time to dine, check my rhyme Taught me to be selfish in my ways 'take care of yourself kid, sharing don't pay' We were tight son, me and him stirring up a muck We would play Super NES until we ran out of luck [Timur and G] Try to duck out of mammas way when she call to pray I would make salat but he always make me stay away [Jehad] He never ever, ever, ever really want to pray at all Always drags his feet on the way to prayer hall Oh no, now we're thirteen ya'll Hormones going crazy like the fans at the football Nice girls walking past, down drop my jaw The first look's okay but he makes me look once more Appetite bright, know what's wrong and right Got me sinning in the day and repenting in the night Why fight, in my heart I feel a hole So I take a deep deep deep look into my soul... Yeah...Look into my soul because I got to take control now.. [Chorus – Timur] x2 I look deep deep deep into my soul I look deeper and try to take control Even though I'm doing wrong I know I should be doing right Held back tight from the struggles that I fight [Jehad] Now we're 21 and we're living our life fast I make all the money while he spends all the cash Versace, Rolex, Dolce & Gabana I try to settle down but he just don't want to He tells me every day that my life is way too short Indulge a little bit and forget what you've been taught Now I'm caught because his influence is way too strong At times we go against the teachings of glorious Quran He tells me it's OK and that we can repent But how can I repent when I hold this much resent Heaven sent, mind is bent, while I'm thinking of the rent He's spending all my dough without leaving me a cent Laziness is our lifestyle Except when we're on a prowl Driving many miles for a reason to go buck-wild Stop at a red-light, to my right, pretty girl in sight Now my friend becomes the very definition of excite Starts with a smile, is it worthwhile? Could it be a trial, in the meanwhile Drooling like a child, first looks allowed But I'm way over the toll Lord please forgive me coz I know we're on parole Light goes green then I finally take control I keep my eyes on the road and I look into my soul.. [Chorus] x2 [Jehad] Yeah he's my best friend but holds traits of the enemy Don't know if he's on my side or trying to get the best of me Respectfully, that's right I love him like my brother But sometimes you got to keep your distance from each other Keep your friends close but keep your enemies even closer He's shredding up my soul and I know that he's supposed to Submit! I control this relationship! When I say sit, you sit, Snitch!! Had to drag him by his collar to a Muslim class The whole way there making excuses so he can take a pass We sat through the lecture not a word come out his mouth Sheikh seen him from the front and told him to get out “Get out of this lecture, come back when you are pure Corrupting this man's heart and taking him to the sewer Some endure but you won't take this poor soul for a stroll Young brother take a deep deep look into your soul” [Chorus] x2 He was very well known by the people in the streets So popular the people made a nickname called him 'beast' He loved all the praise the fame and the attention Getting so excited when he hears his own name mentioned Me and him, you can't separate apart But I feel like he's clenching and squeezing on my heart I made my decision I can't treat him like a friend Can't sleepwalk anymore, it's time to take revenge For food, sleep and water he constantly relies on me Cut off his supply as a war utility Strategy supplied, by those who are wise Don't want to cut my ties Don't want to see no coal Don't want to enter fire because I know it's going to scold Don't want to cut him off but I got to be straight cold Don't want to but excuse me while I look into my soul.... [Bridge] [Jehad] Look into my soul, Look into my soul man..! [Chorus] x2 [Jehad] I finally found some time to reflect upon myself I looked deep into my soul and I found my lower-self My NAFS - EGO, so-called friend who drags me back He's with me right now as I'm writing down this rap There's only 5 minutes left of Maghrib salaat Control and combat, that enemy inside Pretends to be your friend with shaitaan on his side He's with me and you every place that we may go That's why it's so important to look into your soul...
