Best friends become strangers
- Thread starter Chief
- Start date
Knew the line was real before I experienced it, but theres more then a few people who I thought were friends, went through a lot with, and in the end, now, I can't even get a phone call or a text back from these people.

Best Nas song ever. Period.

the best borough
the greatest line in all of hip hop.
the term "best-friend" is way overused!
Sounded like a less "beautiful" way of saying "estranged best friend".
nikkas talking about realest line and best line.
Just like back when certain stans used to claim that Nas realest line was life's a bytch.
That line is real best friend do become strangers even when you meet them it's very uncomfortable and you have nothing to say to each other
also it's about moving forward and progressing..some individuals fail to achieve this and feels neglected and trapped in their situation.
my life story 
Had eight partners growin up, eight turned to seven
Seven turned to six nikkas, got two in heaven
Six of us, holdin it, now it's five rollin thick
The sixth one's parole flipped; five nikkas, went to four quick
When he went O.T., college life, converted into gangbangin
Four nikkas still hangin, years passin and slang changin
Three of us now, fourth nikka ain't around
We all thought he was real -- he did the snake shyt
Fake shyt -- beat his ass down, yo his mouth
Could've got us all wasted, what a fukkin clown
All I got left in the end is two of my best friends
And we all goin out, to the death for these ends, WHAT?

So this turned into another Nas love/hate thread, huh.
There's two people out there that knew me since third grade, like brothers for years, and no one really fukks with each other, but esp. they don't fukk with me, it's pathetic and disheartening. But, people you spent your kid life's with, Halloween, vacations, little kids walking to the store together, sleeping at each others houses, going to the movies with $20 for all three of you....That line is harsh truth, one that sounded cooler before it actually happened, like a lot of rap lines.
