[Intro]
(Without them I'm nothing at all)
(Yeah)

[Verse 1]
You got a house in the hills
Turn it up, hundred bills
Swimming pool full of girls
Think they love you for real
Lose it all and they leave ya
Got a heart like a freezer
You got the things that you want
But I got the things that you need, yeah

[Chorus]
I've got friends, real friends
Got my back until the bitter end
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friends, real friends
I got something you can't understand
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friеnds

[Post-Chorus]
(Without them I'm nothing at all)
(Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Pull up in the Mеrcedes, pick me up when I'm faded
Tyres screeching in the parking lot, keep it ride or die
Running from the cops
It's a fact that on the day I die, million roses laying by my side
Your friends will be here for now, but mine gon' be here for life, yeah

[Chorus]
I've got friends, real friends
Got my back until the bitter end
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friends, real friends
I got something you can't understand
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friends

[Bridge]
They would die for me, risk their life for me
Like my brother, like my sister, they're my family
I would do the same, 'cause we got memories
So if a year goes by, I know nothing's gonna change
Crushed your house in the hills, gasoline, hundred bills
Doing this for the girls, I'm doing this for the girls
By the poolside you're screaming, now you're so out of season
Yeah, you lost the things that you want
I still got the things that I need, yeah

[Chorus]
I've got friends, real friends
Got my back until the bitter end
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friends, real friends
I got something you can't understand
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friends, real friends
Got my back until the bitter end
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friends, real friends
I got something you can't understand
Real friends, yeah, I got em, I got em, I got em
I got friends

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
