Lyrics
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help
Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
And some mistake your kindness for bein' a fool
We like to be with some, because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with, around the way
And you're still real close to this very day
Homeboys through the summer, winter, spring and fall
And then there's some we wish we never knew at all
And this list goes on, again and again
But these are the people that we call friends
Instrumental
When we first went out together, we barely knew each other
We had no intentions, on becoming lovers
But in no time at all, you became my girl
Me and you, one on one, against the world
Talkin’ on the telephone for hours at a time
Or else I was at your house, or you was at mine
And then came the arguments and all kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It could've lasted longer because it started out strong
But I guess we went about the whole thing wrong
'Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end
Because we became lovers before we were friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
You say you and your girlfriend were so tight
You took her out with you and your guy one night
She even had a set of keys to your home
And you shared mostly everything you owned
But then she shook your hand, she stole your man
And it was done so sweet, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you don't need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on
And you’re still not sure if you’re glad he’s gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know that's just another lie
And now you're kinda cold toward people you meet
'Cause of something that was done to you by some creep
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
That these are the people that we call friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further
This song is the most truthful rap song ever made. If u agree drop a👍🏾
It's the truth all the way to judgement day.
👍🏽
💯
It's true, but the best rap about betrayal by a friend is Grandmaster Caz's "MC Delight".
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Anytime I hear someone say "friends" I can't help think of this song! One of the most timeless rap songs of all time! A true classic! ❤ 🎶 🇺🇸
One of the dopest beats EVER created
Listen to these words. Made in 1984. This is almost 40 years old and still relevant to this day. one of the realest songs in hip hop history.
Frfr!
Believe that 1000
Man, u spittin truth. True today
My homie DJ x.. loves this song in 85.. R. I. P 🙏♥️🤟
I used to listen to this song every day all day long because it was a true song that's when rap had meaning not like the garbage they put out today
My 50 yrs of celebrating hip hop is all about memories of rap group whodini the best
Song brings a tear to my eye. This one of my father's favorite songs. He's not here anymore but I am, having a glass of whiskey in his honor and thinking about his smile. I'm glad that we can still find timeless music like this.
Cheers man.
my father used to listen to this all the time too! it has such a special part in my heart! I'm sorry your father isn't around anymore.
My father's too man 🤦😥
My father also passed just last year. Having a drink for you and your father right now. Cheers. ❤️
@@tazrface1040 your pops still with u .stay up
The beat is so synonymous with hip hop in its early stages. One of the greatest beats of all times. The beat, the message in the record, all substance. " "Friends", Whodini so legendary
That beat had to scare and excite ninjas when it was dropped. Plus those lyrics, damn!!! This sh*t hit the soul
Bruhh Ive been listening to mostly West Coast Rap and Detroit rap and somehow ALOT of detroit rap songs have this style beat which is dope
This song will never go out of style
I agree
Music or lyrics wise. Timeless.
Been sampled 5 trillion times, & never gets old.
Amen! Peace!
Nahhh gang yu jus old asl 😂😂
I saw them in concert two summers straight, 85-86'
I'm 54 now, and this is still real music In 2022..🎤🎷🎵👑
Dude I was there
You got that right.
Damn bruh I'm a 85er and i envy u coming up to see the birth of hip hop
@@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617 yep we went from in 1977 wearing loud colored bell bottoms and disco glitter to 1979 wearing Kangols, jogging suits and pop locking in about a 2yr window, that shxt hit out of nowhere,..
Me too with the fat boys those were the good days I was younger lol
This beat will stay engraved in Hip-Hop history
4ever
@@TheTyreese62 DATs the shit niggar what ,u heard 👑
Nas did this beat justice too, If I ruled the woooorld! “….Feel the wind breeze in the west indies”…
he also got the if i ruled the world bits from kurtis blow@@pboissie
Definitely! I remember this from when I was like 9 years old. Nas then reused it in my later youth. So good
Who's here in 2024?
Right here’s 3/22/24. I heard NAS an hour earlier and wanted to hear the original so here I am.
The MOST NPC ah comment of all time 🤣👺🗣️🫵
4.12.24 I'd forgotten about this real classic, still so true today.
I am ❤
😊🎉
I always listen to this masterpiece..just to remind me not everyone is a "friend".. been bumping this since 1986...
Take notes. This track is a life lesson.
Thug life, stay true 2022
In honor of Shanquella Robinson
Real shit.
Lord yes!!! I love we have every song that fit life lessons!!! Black americans are truly talented!!!
💯💯💯
I learned a long time ago that "Friends" can fit into 3 Catagories. A Reason, A Season, or A Lifetime. A reason can turn into a season and then a lifetime. So it's not always so cut & dry. And then you have the folks you just immediatly connect with & they are by your side & have your six no matter what! Thanks for the video! Peace To All!!
it can also fit into a series haha
Good Analysis 👍Thank You!
No truer words could describe friends. Great analysis indeed. 👍 Peace to you as well.
Nah, it can be cut and dry if you have agency, and set boundaries.
Beautifully put.. I have 2 friends that I have known since the 3rd grade.. I've known them both for 45 years... they are closer than some of my blood relatives.
I love this song
I grew up bumping this thanks to mom
I love you mom for that...
I'm 34 years young now this my jam though shouts out to Whodini for this throwback classic
This song is so fire. No one really makes songs like WHODINI anymore. Music in general has fell WAY off. But at least we've been given these Timeless masterpieces to keep going back to. Shukran Ecstasy for your Genius contribution to our Human Race!
Correct, Mr. Guga.
Yes
Yes master pieces
RIP Ecstasy, loved his flow. This was the first rap album I ever bought. This song (musically) has stood the test of time.
Yes he did pass rest in heaven to the 🐐 he was a identical twin
I didn't know he passed. 😢
This beat NEVER gets old...
Never. This beat is absolute fire.
Got that right 💯
70 yrs....a factual song😍
Beat COLD ASF
LOVE Whodini!!! Yes, they kept it real and fun without being obscene!! Love that era!! 😍
whoever made this beat was on another planet
Yea it's very special!lol 😂and 😊😮😢😂😮😢😅😊
That beat is heavy and the message gave it mental nourishment! The perfect combination.
TruckerCharlie84 True. they didn't was a dope track on nothingness.
We're

The message mental nourishment! This is a excellent statement, and great 😊 observation!

Man these was some of the coldest rappers ever. Whodini used to put it down man!!! If you ever seen them live it was worth all your money. Great rappers.
Right💕💕
Facts
I went to one of his concerts at providence,ri
I saw Whodini, Run-DMC, and Grand Master Flash in the same concert.
Yell that's right sure is
TIMELESS song with no Expiration date!!!
The beat is a masterpiece.
This is still one of the best beats ever. The drum loop alone is epic
Cant lie who ever produced for whodini were wild geniuses. This and One Love are like 2 of the best hip hop beats of all time.
They had European producers jove records was a company from Europe an they cash in on the whodini group from the time they formed they have an unsung episode
Correction. The late, legendary Larry Smith was their producer .
@@bookiebrown7012e Larry Smith produced this, he was from New York, but it was recorded in the Uk.
@@anthonyholmes71music Facts!!! Larry had NY on loc_k in the early to mid eighties.
This is when we had a message! Real rap which took thought!🔥🔥🔥🔥
The dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
it's the story told, instrumentals, beats, etc. maybe it's because I've heard bits and pieces of the hit through out my life and i'm just now hearing it whole at 40...CLASSIC
This song will forever be relevant as long as their are people on this earth 🌎 🎶

A McDonald’s commercial activated a memory of this song, I was a baby but my mom always played these songs
You know you recorded a classic when everything you said in the lyrics is still relevant generations later.

This beat goes hard as hell!
There will never be another "Whodini" ..... Thank you for being real..
ONE OF THE GREATEST RAP GROUP EVER SO UNDERRATED
Original rap with a true message. Those were the days.
R.I.P. to John “Ecstasy” Fletcher another hip hop legend has fallen my father had the pleasure of meeting him along with Jalil Hutchins and Drew “Grandmaster Dee” back in the Disco Fever in the Bronx NY man 2020 has been a terrible year for people falling down to this madness he will greatly be missed thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to the rap game.
My Mom and dad are True and Real Friends...this song is Real
A true hip hop classic
Remembering John ‘Ecstacy’ Fletcher
(1964-2020)
Back when EVERY rapper had his own style and sound.
BIG CLOWN that’s what the culture was built on. It was the REALEST when a influx of new talent poured into the culture. Honestly, a new CULTURE / GENRE need to develop that spawns from this classic form.
U know so giive me Sot la roco reegea Hit
U know b I put headst to rest
Remember this was the code Fr..
The real ones
This is the absolute Gospel truth!!!!!
Greatest beats in hip hop history.
Anos 80. A melhor década da história da música. Não haverá outra igual!🇧🇷
Nao mesmo! Epoca unica!
Verdade nunca vai ter mesmo, indubitavelmente.

Wonderful song! Reminds me my childhood! Whodini did a great job here! January of 2019 and I keep listening to this song!
Nice jam I still listen to it till this day
Because your a real friend!
@@enriquesanchez9903 you a real friend too
This song reminds me of the CB Credit King ad
😎👌
This is what you call music no cussing no guns no gangs nothing back of the day that was the music and if today is the music no matter what anybody says that music will take you from feeling low and then High it's what you call great music there's nothing like it ever be like it brings back old times and I wish it was back then back then but now it's all screwed and fucked up listen to this music and remember the times back in the day
Big FACTS!!!!!
An OG once told me in a youth program meeting, the 80's gangstas are the result of why law enforcement, nation wide cracked down on kingpins, drug rings, gangs, criminal underworld and organizations. That's why to this day nothing is the same. The game has changed. The streets ain't mad crazy like it was in the 80's
No more fat gold chains, diamond rings, gold tooth or pushing weight, packing uzis
He told me this in 2013.
My grandma recently said that she's happy that my hood ain't mad active like it was some thirty years ago and she's glad there's no more crazy hood shit happening. That was a couple weeks ago.
So yeah. The game changed. Nothing will ever be like it was.
I’m really sick of you morality police coming on these videos talking this bullshit. You can’t even enjoy a classic song without putting down other classic songs for being “too vulgar” and reminiscing about the “old days” as if everything was fine and dandy for everyone in the 80’s during the Reagan era. The violence you hear in music is a reflection of the world around us and expecting everyone to just stick to making “happy” music that doesn’t scare the white people away when the country has been fucked for years is just silly.
Real music.. Real times..
This song is a super masterpiece
Que batida, que saudade de uma época de ouro que nunca vai ter outra igual.
Verdade nunca mais vai ter outra igual
Que nada, vamos ouvir e fazer reverberar o verdadeiro som!!
❤️
Eu nasci em 2000, tenho 22 anos. Imagina eu que nunca vivi essa época. Sinto sdds do que não vivi
Ola Sim amor
More truth in these rhymes than the entire billboard's of todays"artists"
Quem não dançou esse clássico nos bailes de garagem, aqui em São Paulo nos anos 80 tinha disputa de bailes nas garagem aos sábados com aquelas lampadas com pastilhas para piscar sem queimar kkk!! várias lembranças agora
Dancei muito essa musica no BUSO PALACE! Lembra?
Irmão, q lembrança fantástica! Era maravilhoso. Eu era e sou cintura dura, mas ia sempre p vê os manos dançarem. Era maravilhoso.
Dancei muito nos bailes aqui no Rio ❤
Pena que essa geração não curte um baile como nos anos 80.

Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be
Friends
[Verse 1]
Is a word we use everyday
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesn't know the meaning of friends
And if you ask me, you know, I couldn't be much help
Because a friend's somebody you judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
But some mistake your kindness for bein' a fool
We like to be with some, because they're funny
Others come around when they need some money
Some you grew up with, around the way
And you're still real close to this very day
Homeboys through the Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall
And then there's some we wish we never knew at all
And this list goes on, again and again
But these are the people that we call friends
[Verse 2]
When we first went out together, we barely knew each other
We had no intentions, on becoming lovers
But in no time at all, you became my girl
Me and you, one on one, against the world
Talkin on the telephone for hours at a time
Or else I was at your house, or you was at mine
And then came the arguments and all kinds of problems
Besides making love, we had nothing in common
It could've lasted longer because it started out strong
But I guess we went about the whole thing wrong
'Cause out of nowhere it just came to an end
Because we became lovers before we were friends
[Hook]
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?

[Verse 3]
You say you and your girl friend were so tight
You took her out with you and your guy one night
She even had a set of keys to your home
And you shared mostly everything you owned
But as she shook your hand, she stole your man
And it was done so sweet, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you don't need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on
And you’re still not sure if you’re glad he’s gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know that's just another lie
And now you're kinda cold toward people you meet
'Cause of something that was done to you by some creep
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
That these are the people that we call friends
[Hook]
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - ones we can depend on
Friends - how many of us have them?
Friends - before we go any further, let's be

Not all heros wear a cape. Thank you ❤

Amava essa época, os bailes eram muito melhor. Com essas músicas valia a pena ir às bailes, anos 80.
Concordo plenamente os bailes o DJ, não tinha tanta vaidade que temos hoje. Mais temos o melhor a música tanto instrumental o vocal símbolos de uma geração de Nova York. #ILove80
This gives me the chills you can't repeat history wow so awesome 💯😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Going back to the 80s is the best because good music came out in that decade.
