Busy Signal - What Is a Friend lyrics

Chimney a friend to all, a friend to none
A friend indeed, find me the one
Hmm (Hm-m) , yeah (Busy) , yeah (Brr)

Suh when di food ah eat, highs ah peep
Ah look, heart ah leak
Wolf a wolf, sheep a sheep
Yeah, yeah (Ayy, ayy)
Real a real, fake a fake
Gwaan wull from some ah shake a shake
Wid all wah gwaan, wi haffi
Wise and wull di fake, yay

What is a friend?
In these times, mi haffi ask di question
What is a friend?
If it's only money di friendship depend on
Yeah what is a friend?
It is close enough someone yuh
Can call yuh family?
Sometime di world friends overrated
Yuh d'even know who fi relate wid

I know every wi ah talk, oh
'Nuff nuh clean inna dem heart, oh
Some a dem come wid smiley face
If dem nuh get dem well, dem depart, oh
(Uh, uh) tink smart, walk wisely
Two friends anuh supm weh yuh
Buck up inna nightly
It's like a seed weh yuh sow
Tek suh much time to grow
Real friends organic and timely

What is a friend?
In these times, mi haffi ask di question
What is a friend?
If it's only money di friendship depend on
Yeah what is a friend?
It is close enough someone yuh
Can call yuh family?
Sometime di world friends overrated
Yuh d'even know who fi relate wid

When di food nuh deh 'pon di table
Stuck around, who still siddung 'pon seat?
Di heart got unable
I know everytime you haffi go from di thrill
Yuh can see it all my life, I know
Nuh body cyaan tek mi fi nuh damn papi show
Mama neva grow mi suh
Mi know mi family different
From friends and folk oh, in this lifetime
Oh, people change so easily
Some only in it for personal game
Then the rest is ease to be (Oh)
Some a dem have multiple
Nuff a dem a pretty and nuff a dem a actor
It's a hurtful feeling
Real friends, some nuh know di meaning

What is a friend?
In these times, mi haffi ask di question
What is a friend?
If it's only money di friendship depend on
Yeah what is a friend?
It is close enough someone yuh
Can call yuh family?
Sometime di world friends overrated
Yuh d'even know who fi relate wid

Suh when di food ah eat, highs ah peep
Ah look, heart ah leak
Wolf a wolf, sheep a sheep
Yeah, yeah (Ayy, ayy)
Real a real, fake a fake
Gwaan wull from some ah shake a shake
Wid all wah gwaan, wi haffi
Wise and wull di fake, yay

What is a friend? What is a friend?
What is a friend? Yo
