Herb Powers, Jr. - Best Friend lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, yep Spit my gum out right now, yeah What up world? Got my inspiration in the studio with me tonight, feelin' good Got a lot to smile about Talk to y'all n***as Yessir, hey [Verse 1] My best friend say I'm bottled up, I need a f**ing therapist But I can't think of nobody I wanna share this with Why should I open up on somebody else's carelessness... [Pop] there goes the top, n***a, so here it is Mama workin' all day, Daddy out in the streets Imagine 10 years old full of doubt and defeat Growing up around criminals, with clout and deceit My grandma Loucelle used to tell me, you about what you wheap She used to help me with my homework, addiction-subtraction Added faith to my life and doubt got subtracted Wanna skip ya mind from crying better learn something, son You be beatin' on my couches, why don't you try hit the drums? Look, oo you see me ma They wish they could be me ma As I got better, her body was eaten by Leukaemia Seventh grade, it was cursed and sad But the gift within it, was when I first met Chad But even Chad could tell you that my Christmas was jinxed Cause grandma Loucelle died on 12th 19th I can't help but wonder, what kind of black cloud I was under Cause 15 years later the other died that summer...bummer [Hook] My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind So let it out P (what), let it out P (what) Let it out P (what), let it out P (what) See, you won't even know you hurt sometimes Until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it Out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my n***a let it out [Verse 2] Ayo, 10 21 Atlantis drive, n***a was action packed That's Atlantis apartments, we live in half the back That's where the 12 year olds there, they be flashing crack And when they shoot you n***a, they ain't tryna pa** it back Aye yo, Didi, Fleet and Marvian can you imagine that? The place we love the most, the hood was built to smash us flat But I escaped cause I chased, what made me pa**ionate Now I got my skate team and spit these acid raps So many n***as will rise So many them n***as try So many them n***as ended up duck-taped and tied So many them same n***as, man they moms eyes cry So, they just got older, still on the corner with they pride Well let me tell n***as something, I'm so glad you alive Long as you got a breath, a pulse, n***a strive Divine intervention this is I heard a voice n***a, listen to this [Hook] My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind So let it out P (what), let it out P (what) Let it out P (what), let it out P (what) See, you won't even know you hurt sometimes Until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it Out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my n***a let it out [Verse 3] Jesus will arrange it, but Jesus won't change it Hold yourself responsible, on yourself you blame it You mad, n***a don't articulate in Sanskrit I.E. we best friends, speak best friend language I'm a happy n***a, you can't approach me in anguish Whoever said anything worth working for would be painless? Can't be mad at the world cause you and your girl ain't famous Cause you both on Bape, BBC and chain-less Also you're Range-less, therefore switch lane-less Now you brainless, dangerous, cause you pull out the stainless All of sudden you smart, now you do something heinous First time you get caught, now your a** is famous No longer chain-less, and the bus switching lanes is a bad look Yo girl with ya man sellin' lane-less, stop n***a rewind and reverse slides 3 times Rea**ess your thinking and trust me it'll be fine First picture your goal, and repeat 'It'll be mine' Or f** it n***a, just keep imagine k**in' me fine Now you, scrunching your face tryna ace attainment When you should be tryna find a place to base your shame, n***a Success is tangible, don't wait for fame I thought you would receive it better if I ain't say ya name You unsure of yourself, sit still and think Review those actions if it fit, put your name in the blank [Hook] My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind So let it out P (what), let it out P (what) Let it out P (what), let it out P (what) See, you won't even know you hurt sometimes Until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it Out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my n***a let it out [Outro] Star Trak, is who we are Star Trak, is who we are, ooh Star Trak, is who we are Star Trak, is who we are
