[Verse 1]
I liked you before you were famous
When we were like homies and kickin' it
Laid up in bed, with nothing but time
Talking shit deep and off limits like
Religion and politics
Could we or we not commit
And you hated the counterfeit
All of that phony shit
Damn you turned out a hypocrite
I liked you before all that ego
And money went right to your head
You used to put value on women
And now you just count 'em in bed, you
Used to mean what you said
You, used to be such a good friend
Now you're all on the surface, luxury worthless
Can't find purpose, in a purchase

[Chorus]
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous

[Verse 2]
I liked you before all your new friends
And new bitch whose running her mouth at me
Who can't mind her business, who watching your phone
Got your password so she can check up on me
And now that girl texting me
Like da, da, da, da, da that bitch just keep texting me
She going, she going, I'm reading, ingnoring
The messages she think she sending me
I liked you before all the parties and pills in LA
When you used to hit me to talk
And now I can't reach you for days
Used to be good enough boy
For us to just chill at my place, but
Now you need mansions, valet
And girls climbing ladders on dates

[Chorus]
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous

[Verse 3]
I liked you before you forgot who you were
And all of the people that got you there
The girl that stood by you, and stood up for you
When nobody else was left standing there
'Cause babe I stood by you, and stood up for you
When nobody else was left standing there
You wanna come back, and be the old you
I ain't still standing here
I liked you before you were famous
When we were like homies and kickin' it
Laid up in bed, with nothing but time
Talking shit deep and off limits like
Religion and politics
Could we or we not commit
And you hated the counterfeit
All of that phony shit
Damn you turned out a hypocrite
I liked you before all your new friends
And new bitch who running her mouth at me
I liked you before you were famous
How can you say you do not mess with me
I liked you before you were famous
How dare you say you do not fuck with me
I liked you before you were famous
Before you were famous

[Chorus]
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous
I like you before you were famous
Used to be such a good friend
I like you before you were famous
