Ronnie Marez, a Bakersfield native, channels the raw edge of early Nu Metal in his first-ever original song—a hard-hitting reflection on the cost of keeping fake friends around. Fueled by heavy riffs and personal experience, the track calls out the kind of relationships that quietly drag you down, marking Ronnie’s entry into music with honesty, grit, and zero compromise.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whenever anyone says
"I feel sorry for you"
It's almost always an insult
They're just as evil as hell
And they will never stop to try
And bring you down
[Chorus]
People like that
You can never trust
You can never befriend
And you can never give them your love
[Bridge]
I don't need
People like that
People like that
People like that
People like that
People like that
I don't need
People like that
People like that
Like that
[Verse]
You walk in with a cigarette
You say you're in the mood to get into it
Then you act like you don't give a shhh
Then you come in hot with a dirty look
You can give a smile
But you never would
You can talk the talk
But you never could
[Pre-Chorus]
And now we're goin' out
But you got somethin' to say about it
Somethin' to say about it
And now we're makin' plans
But you got somethin' to say about it
[Chorus]
'Cause you ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
If you ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
No
You ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
[Verse 2]
You pull up in your shitty car
You ain't even drinkin' at the bar
You're talkin' up a big game
But you never are
And you're goin' through my phone like
"Who is that?"
Sayin' that you love me and you want me back
And you want what you can't have
[Pre-Chorus]
And now we're goin' out
But you got somethin' to say about it
Somethin' to say about it
And now we're makin' plans
But you got somethin' to say about it
[Chorus]
'Cause you
You ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
If you ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
No
You ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
[Bridge]
I don't need
(People like that)
I don't need
(People like that)
I don't need
(People like that)
[Chorus]
'Cause you ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
If you ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
No
You ain't a friend of mine
I don't need friends like that
