[Verse 1]
The year was 1995, another day, another dollar
Bein' up in this game make a brother wanna holla
Welcome to the school of dirty licks and tricky deals
A fair weather friend's and homies that you thought was real
Seen them come, seen them go, seen them down, I seen them out
I seen them on my team until I seen what they about
Funny how they wanna smile, spark them up and say they true
But all the time, these n***as take my kindness for a fool
And I ain't gotta name all these playa-hatin' traitors
Even with the Gemini, motherfuckers couldn't fade us
I made a little song about these jealous-ass counterfeits
Down what it is as long as you pullin' in the grip, shit
This is how I do it when I call 'em out
Straight G game comin' from that n***a with the clout
See I'm out to be real straight homie to the end
I'm thorough as they come, fuck a fair weather friend
Fuck a fair weather friend

[Hook]
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
[Verse 2]
And now I take a look around and see how many of them left
Everytime I turn around, my name on somebody breath
Guess it's part of this game, everybody think it's tight
Got me thinkin' out of mind mean a n***a out of sight
Funny how the friendship slip when the man's out
But I remember back when them n***as had they hands out
Beggin' like a bitch, can't straight on me
But now I'm scratching n***as off my nuts like fleas
And this one's for them bitches and them fake-ass friends
Peep game, 'cause success is the best revenge
Gotta stay on point, put it down and make a meal
And even though they phony, I'ma still stay real
See I got much love for the ones that's forever true
But n***a if you fake, you can juggle on these nuts, too
I never be a traitor 'cause I'm real to the end
I'm solid as they come, fuck a fair weather friend
For real

[Hook]
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
They smilin' in your face
[Verse 3]
Yup, true
And all the time they was wishin' they was you
Ain't enough to see a young brother make it on his own
I'm sick from the smell of the jealousy cologne
You see it in my eyes, I'ma be forever true
As long as you be real, I'ma keep it real with you
See I'll always be your road dog homie to the end
I'm thorough as they come, fuck a fair weather friend
And it's like that

[Hook]
They smilin' in your face
Backstabbers
They smilin' in your face
Backstabbers

[Hook]
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
They smilin' in your face
All the time they wanna take your place
The backstabbers, backstabbers
They smile in your face
