I know a boy I used to like
At him, I would never strike

I've know him since the 2nd grade
But as time passes, memories fade

He was all right, yeah he was cool
But he's turned into such a fool

You see, he made a real bad choice
Picked the wrong friends, wrong crew, wrong boys

Now he disses left and right
Sooner or later, he'll get into a fight

If he wins, he'll fight again
Until he loses, then that's the end

His 'friends' will leave him, of this I am sure
I will not be able to endure

My entire being wants to cry 'STOP!'
Listen to me, for a second, just stop

Please stop hanging with that crew
Have you any idea what'll happen to you?

While they're not some gang out in the hood
They lie, they cheat, they're just no good

Who am I? that cares so much?
I'd be his friend, if he'd call me such

I'm trying to help him, and you ask why?
He is okay, that boy, that guy

I liked the old him, but I don't like the new
Who is he? that, I'll leave to you.

Pursue it down to all it's ends,
Just be sure that you've got the right friends
