TRUE FRIENDS

I HEAR PEOPLE ALL THE TIME
TALK BEHIND MY BACK
I HEAR THEM SAY THINGS
THEY DONT HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY TO MY FACE
THEY THINK ITS EASIER
TO HIDE WHAT THEY THINK
WITH THEIR SO-CALLED FRIENDS
BUT WHEN THEY REACH THE WORLD
THEY WONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
A FREE RIDE THROUGH SCHOOL, POPULARITY, OR BEING RICH
NEITHER ONE IS MEANT FOR ME
HARDLY KNOWN, NOT RICH
THAT DESCRIBES ME
BUT IT DOESNT MATTER, TRUE FRIENDS ARE BETTER
NO TRUE FRIEND LIES OR STEALS FROM YOU
OR TALK ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU TURN AWAY
I DONT HAVE THAT I HAVE TRUE FRIENS-
PEOPLE WHO LOVE ME FOR ME
NOT SOMEONE THEY THINK I AM
