Present continuous

The people you are hanging out with are not your friends.

To-infinitive

I want you to ask yourself this question.

Gerund

Are they raising you up or pushing you down?

Are they helping you grow or holding you back?

You have something special inside of you.

But I feel like the people you hang around, they have their own agendas.

And I've had people like this in my life before.

People who wanted to get close to me, used me to get what they wanted.

The word friend comes from a European word, friend, meaning to love.

A squad is a team of people who you go to war with.

See, a true friend isn't somebody who makes your problems disappear, but

they are the ones who won't disappear when you face problem.

They're around you during the brightest times, but they disappear during the darkest times.

It's better to walk alone at night than with a fake friend in the light.

Better a enemy attack you than a fake friend hug you.

See, I know sometimes it's fun hanging out with them.

It's easy to to be friends when things are going well.

But what about when things ain't going well?

Oprah said everybody want to ride with you in a limo.

But what about when that limo breaks down and it's cold?

Who's going to be there with you on the side of the road?

Who's going to be there to carry your bags with you as you got to walk home?

See, I don't want to preach, but your life is dependent on two things.

The people you hang out with and the books you read.

Do not stunt your growth by hanging out with the wrong crowd.

You got to answer that call because it's not going to ring forever.

The more time you spend with these people, the less time you're going to have to bring that gift out.

Well, what's the easiest way to catch a negative mindset?

You hang out with somebody with a negative mindset.

They say people come into your life for a reason.

See, I believe these so called friends you have, their season has passed.

And you become exactly who you were always meant to be.
