In "Friends Like U," Ojerime and Sango turn a friendship sour with envy and quiet competition. The repeated question about what is on her mind gets a deflecting answer, a monkey on a swing or a passing thought about luxury, while the real weight is a friend who wants to see her fail. The contrast between her decade of grinding and the friend's hunger for borrowed shine sharpens the betrayal. She finally draws a line, knowing herself too well to let resentment rewrite who she is.
Friends Like U Lyrics by Ojerime
(Feat. Sango)
With friends like you
Who really needs a enemy
With friends like you
Who wanna see the end of me
They’re like ‘O what’s your mind?’
‘I’m fine, there’s just a monkey on a swing’
They say O what’s your mind?
‘I’m fine, probably thinking about my next Louis V’
Oh O you’re outta line good bye
(You) must not know about me
But if you wanna bring it up
You’ve been jealous from the jump
Always wanna pass the buck funny how you never knuck
Thought he was rich
He still didn’t even wanna fuck
Oh now you’re mad at me
Cos I never push my luck
Introduced you to the finer things
You already want bling bling
Bitch level up
Came here for my cheque
You ain’t comin for my neck
Or my back or my next
Silent cos I’m violence
Grinding for ten
Ain’t about to lose it in one
You’ll try to replace me if I’m done
They’re like O what’s on your mind
‘I’m fine, there’s just a monkey on a swing’
They say O what’s your mind
‘I’m fine, probably thinking about my next Louis V’
Oh O you’re outta line good bye
(You) must not know about me
About me
Oh yeah
About me
Oh yeah
Cos I know myself
You try to tell me who I am
I only see the good parts of you
Can’t you see it in me?
With friends like you
Who really needs a enemy
With friends like you
Who wanna see the end of me
They’re like o what’s on your mind
‘I’m fine,there’s just a monkey on a swing’
They say O what’s your mind
‘I’m fine, probably thinking about my next Louis V’
Oh O you’re outta line good bye
(You) must not know about me
