Intro (spoken, emotional) Yeah…
If you wasn’t there when I was broke inside
Don’t call me when I’m shining
Day ones only
Chorus (VERY melodic, easy to sing) Best friends for life, we came from the mud
Same tears, same scars, same blood
When my whole world broke and I lost my sight
You stayed right there—best friends for life
Best friends for life, through the pain we rise
If the rain keep fallin’, we survive
If I lose it all or I touch the sky
Best friends for life… best friends for life
Verse 1 I was fighting demons you never saw
Smiling in public, broken at home
Heart too heavy, mind too gone
Late-night thoughts with my phone on roam
You heard my pain through a silent call
Didn’t judge me when I felt small
Everybody say “be strong”
But you let me cry when I was gone
We had dreams bigger than where we stayed
Empty fridge, but we still prayed
They ain’t believe, they laughed at us
Now they surprised how we made it up
You told me “bro, don’t sell your soul
This life a test, stay in control”
If I fall back into my old ways
Pull me out before it’s too late
Chorus Best friends for life, we came from the mud
Same tears, same scars, same blood
When my whole world broke and I lost my sight
You stayed right there—best friends for life
Best friends for life, through the pain we rise
If the rain keep fallin’, we survive
If I lose it all or I touch the sky
Best friends for life… best friends for life
Verse 2 I don’t trust love, I trust loyalty
That’s something money can’t buy from me
Seen fake smiles turn to envy
Closest ones turn enemies
But you never counted my losses
You counted my blessings
When depression had me chained up
You was fighting for my freedom
If I make it big, don’t let me change
If I start acting strange, say my name
Remind me of nights we had nothing
Just hope, faith, and suffering
If death come knocking at my door
Tell my story how I stood for more
Tell the world I stayed real, I tried
And I loved my brothers till the end of time
Bridge (sung, emotional peak) If I fall apart, don’t let me drown
If my heart get dark, don’t let me down
Through the storm, through the night
We forever locked—best friends for life
Final Chorus (stronger, emotional) Best friends for life, we came from the mud
Same tears, same scars, same blood
When my whole world broke and I lost my sight
You stayed right there—best friends for life
Best friends for life, through the pain we rise
If the rain keep fallin’, we survive
If I lose it all or I touch the sky
Best friends for life… best friends for life
Outro (soft, spoken) This more than rap…
This real life
Day ones forever
Best friends for life
