KING Karlemagne - Growing Apart lyrics

[Intro] Hello friend... I haven't seen you in a while You know I wrote you a poem It goes... "Now my arms are weary as I hold all this pain From friends sense hoping out of hopes they would gain They point the finger at me saying 'homie, you've changed' But life's a cycle, one day I'll be the old me again" [Verse 1] We were once two n***as of the same kind As kids we'd take our showers at the same time Plotted how to get rich off the same grind Then we had to split up around the age nine Things became fine for me, as your pain climbed Heard your father went broke and you blamed mine You say I've changed? Fine, guess that I'm like aged wine And since you're still stuck back at that stage whine I'll forgive all your chagrin, jealousy and anger I feel you should have grabbed them, left them on the hanger You see certain things about a man's past Are better off in the closet yeah baby, Lance Ba** Now that your chance pa**ed, it hurts to see you grieving Kept goals like a score board what's worst, you won't achieve them We dreamed of the mansions, the boats and the Bentleys But you can't be s**er free and be hosted by envy [Hook] You see the one thing that I know in my heart Is that I'll always have love for you though we're growing apart And though I pray that loyalty always shows on my part There're still things I have to point out like I'm throwing a dart I gave you love, gave you trust, and was breaking my spine Making sure when I bust you'd part take in my shine I gave you truth, gave you me, and was making these rhymes Did all of that just in hopes that one day it'll be fine [Verse 2] We were so close almost on some Bonnie and Clide sh** While I ran the streets you would "nine to five" it And then you told me to stop, you were wise so I did Exactly as you said although I tried to hide it But you left me hanging baby and I'm asking why b**h And hen you'll wonder why I'd lash like eye lids Tell them ba*tards I slipped but your a** is bias You had the old Karl's back but laughed at my pits Guess I'm ga**ed, my pride must have made me snap Because you turned your back on me like Mase did rap So tell me now, who's the blame for the way we act I still thinking of you on a daily, that Must be partially why it's so hard to let go Guess seeing you leave must have less though I probably should have known this broad was danger After love changes, your best friends becomes strangers (Pachanga) [Verse 3] Damn homie, in high school you was my man homie Between football and rap I couldn't stand lonely Played my hand, weighing grams, how them scrams know me? It hurt that you would let them call your man phony It wasn't over a b**h, Gianna's man so weak I beat dude in a battle, then he tried to stone me Watching queers dissing me, for a rare victory I didn't care n***a, see? I made it further with rap than you ever could Like I bet I would, it's why it feels extra good I got to hang around Joey, so shout out to Phel A man on mission so I doubt I shall fail About it as well, yes baby I will boil too In case you wondered why I am ga**ed like the oil, fool Wasn't that serious so I'm moving on Can't question who won fool who's on the song [Outro] Uhn? You remember like, we used to battle just to get on songs Like, to see who would get on songs Cause we had too many people in the group? You're a jacka** man, you that? You couldn't ever beat me, man I wasn't even that good! That's the f**ed up thing about it! You're jacka**, you're not good at all! Where are you? Uhn? Where are you? a**hole, ba*tard, jacka**! {Foreign Exchanged}
