If You Wanna See Who Your "Friends" Are...Try To Achieve Something Great???...:jbhmm:

[Hologram]

Your family as well, especially if you're the youngest. A lot of it has to do with insecurities/perceived shortcomings.

What I've found is a lot of people are afraid of looking inferior to others. People wanna look good every single damn time they're around others. And it's not just people who haven't accomplished sh*t. I was a lurker at the time, but I remember seeing a picture of Jordan with a Chinese basketball team, and he was standing on his toes so that he didn't look shorter than a Center standing next to him. This sort of mentality is a direct result of years of being conditioned to believe that your appearance is the most important thing in the world. Presentation is important, but it's never as important as you think.

If you are significantly more capable (as far as what you can do for yourself and others) than the people around you, then you need to surround yourself with people who do not present as significant of a gap in capability. Why? Because people who know they can do sh*t do not get intimidated by people who can also do sh*t. This is why a lot of successful nikkas you meet will have an attitude of collaboration instead of competition. If you're trying to achieve something great, stay the f*ck away from nikkas who would rather slap you than dap you. If those nikkas happen to be your family and friends? Love them from a distance.

Yeah, I move like if I'm up, my friends are up, esp. the ones who are struggling or don't have the same money.

But, people's character comes though, I do have close friends who get that complex, like "Oh he doesn't fukk with me right now because I'm not balling", and it's so fake and so lame, but what can I do, but keep moving the right way. When you do the right thing, no one has anything on you.

The difference is people want to appear to be doing better than others, and separate themselves through pettiness and optics of social media, real success and confidence, "greatness" speaks for it self.

Y'all must have some terrible "friends"

Jody Watley - Friends ft. Eric B. & Rakim



Have you ever been stabbed in the back
By someone you thought was really cool
Did they steal your heart or was it money
Or was it lies they told
Strangers just disguised as your friends
Never again ?cause now you know
That friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friend
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' ?bout your friends
Smiles they hide behind
Never know what's on their mind
Could be true deception
Jealousy and envy reign
They never want to see you get ahead
They just hold you back
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friend, oh, oh
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' ?bout your friends
Friends are hard to find, so be careful
You could find an inch or mile if I pay you
But some ain't that bad, but one might back stab
To get the fake tips of what one might have
Bite the hand that feeds you, leave the people who need you
For those who hold you back and mislead you
To be a needle, don't get lead on unleaded
The wrong direction, a dead end's next then
Heed the detour, life's like a seesaw
The ups and downs, and I'll bet there'll be more
Potholes and obstacles in our path, that's righteous
At times you need a hand to fight this
Way of life, straighten up, take the door to the placid
And don't you act two-faced
?Cause jealousy and envy, and you still act friendly
You could find the end and pretend to be
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends, yeah
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' ?bout your friends
Used to me kiss me, tell me you missed me
But now you try to glaze me, play me and diss me
Uh, wide awake, ready to break, so we argue
What happened to the kisses, and, "Why, how are you?"
Forgot about the times when I rhymed when I bathed you
Dreams was the only little things that I gave you
You still ain't thankful, you're still complainin'
Used to be a quiet storm, but now it's rainin'
Farther than ever, I'm thinkin' whether
If we should be friends, let it end, is it better
To forget or remember, your body's tender
The rhymes that I send her, makes her surrender
The feeling of capture, caught in a rapture
No woman can match ya, so when I'm lookin' at ya
Paint a perfect picture so you can remember me
But you can find the end if you pretend to be
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends, oh, oh
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine
I'm talkin' ?bout your friends
Friends will let you down
Friends won't be around
When you need them most
Where are your friends, yeah
Friends are hard to find
Friends, yours and mine

Y'all must have some terrible "friends"

Whodini- Friends



Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, ones we can depend on
Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, before we go any further
Lets be friends

Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help
Because a friend is somebody you judge for yourself
Some are okay, and they treat you real cool
But some mistake kindness for bein' a fool

We like to be with some, because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with, around the way
And you're still real close too this very day
Homeboys through the summer, winter, spring and fall
And then there's some we wish we never knew at all
And this list goes on, again and again
But these are the people that we call friends

When we first went out together, we barely knew each other
We had no intentions, on becoming lovers
But in no time at all, you became my girl
Me and you, one on one, against the world
Talkin' on the telephone for hours at a time
Or else I was at your house, or you was at mine

And then came the arguments and all kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It couldn't last long because it started out strong
But I guess we went about the whole thing wrong
Because out of nowhere it just came to an end
Because we became lovers before we were friends

Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, ones we can depend on
Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, before we go any further
Let's be friends

You say you and your girlfriend were so tight
You took her out with you and your guy one night
She even had a set of keys to your home
And you shared mostly everything you owned
But as she shook your hand, she stole your man
And it was done so swift, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you don't need enemies

You wonder how long it was all going on
And your still not sure if your man is gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know thats just another lie
And now you're kinda cold to the people you meet
'Cause of something that was done to you by some creep
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
That these are the people that we call friends

Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, before we go any further
Lets be friends

Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, one's we can depend on
Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, before we go any further
Lets be friends

Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, one's we can depend on
Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends

What is “great” or what is “greatness”?

 

[Heafcliffe]

Replace "friends" with "family" and you'll see my disappointment.

Been working hard on a project for sometime now and my fam been dropping like flies. Now, a few of them i no longer talk to.

My friends have been the supportive ones; consulting/ advising and eem donating their time and money towards my dream!
