Familiarity Breeds Contempt
Yeah, sometimes it's best to fall back
Otherwise people take advantage
Yeah, you can bet that (bet that)
You only hurt the ones you love (ones you love)
Blood's thicker than water, that may be true but
Blood needs water but water doesn't need blood
Complete strangers can treat you better than loved ones (loved ones)
How could you tell me you love me then treat me like nothing
Ain't it funny how it goes
How could you call me a friend then turn your back on me
And act like we never were bro's
How could you tell me you'll always be there for me
Next thing I know, you go ghost
Must I remind you again, never get too comfortable 'cause
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, distance brings respect
Don't get too close, keep 'em at a distance
You give 'em an inch and they take a yard, how ridiculous
(how ridiculous is that)
It's best to mind your own business
'Cause if you don't then who will
All I hear is crickets
Never mix business with pleasure
Business is business and friends are friends, yeah
I can see right through your hidden agendas
Y'all ain't low, I'm over whoever treats me like my time don't matter
At first they use and abuse you
Then eventually they stop paying attention
And become bored plus lose respect for ya'
How could you tell me you trust me then keep secrets from me
And lie to my face, what a joke
How could you tell me that you got my back
And then I got stabbed, that's cut throat
How could you call me your family I don't understand
Is this how you treat people at home?
I don't consider you fam, unless you do the will of God, woah
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, distance brings respect
Otherwise people take advantage
Yeah, you can bet that (bet that)
You only hurt the ones you love (ones you love)
Blood's thicker than water, that may be true but
Blood needs water but water doesn't need blood
Complete strangers can treat you better than loved ones (loved ones)
How could you tell me you love me then treat me like nothing
Ain't it funny how it goes
How could you call me a friend then turn your back on me
And act like we never were bro's
How could you tell me you'll always be there for me
Next thing I know, you go ghost
Must I remind you again, never get too comfortable 'cause
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, distance brings respect
Don't get too close, keep 'em at a distance
You give 'em an inch and they take a yard, how ridiculous
(how ridiculous is that)
It's best to mind your own business

Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds
Familiarity breeds contempt, familiarity breeds contempt
Familiarity breeds contempt, distance brings respect
