[Verse 1]
I love Lonnie
I love Monie
I love Jahsire
They my people, they my heart
They hold me down
When the world gets loud
I keep that same love
Right from the start
[Pre-Chorus]
No man come before them
No man take that place
If you come with bad energy
You can move away
[Chorus]
I love my friends
I love my friends
Lonnie, Monie, Jahsire
I love my friends
I love my friends
I love my friends
If you dislike that
You can leave, my friends
[Verse 2]
We been through days
With heavy rain
Still they stayed close
Never switched sides on me
I protect that bond
Like it's gold in my palm
That loyalty run deep
It's family to me
[Pre-Chorus]
No man come before them
No man take that place
If you come with bad energy
You can move away
[Chorus]
I love my friends
I love my friends
Lonnie, Monie, Jahsire
I love my friends
I love my friends
I love my friends
If you dislike that
You can leave, my friends
[Bridge]
Say what you want
I know where I stand
Real love in my circle
Is all I need at hand
So keep that respect
Or keep walking by
'Cause I love my friends
And I won't apologize
[Final Chorus]
I love my friends
I love my friends
Lonnie, Monie, Jahsire
I love my friends
I love my friends
I love my friends
If you dislike that
You can leave, my friends
