Strong Friend Lyrics

So

What I get from you and your music

That you're not interested in playing the game of social media

Cause you're out there

If you was in here with me

You would understand why I'm so pissed off

About what the fuck I'm seeing

Then you could possibly help me maneuver around my feelings

You know what I'm saying

It's a different type of understanding

And I'm just now getting that

And it's sad but it's just

It is what it is

And I realize that I have made my life further complicated

By the friends and relationships that I pick

Because I'm thinking

I'm thinking that like

Whatever I'm going through is so ugh for me because it's not my plan

But I know there's gonna be a gold day later on

I just have to keep moving

Strong friend

Gotta check on your strong friends

Strong friends

Gotta check on your strong friends

Gotta check on ya

Gotta check on em

I never met MJ

Always said that I would

Never met DMX

He died before I could

Still wanna meet André

Don't even wanna talk about rap

He's an only child

I'd ask about that

Like how you keep composure

With the world weighing down on your shoulder

When all you want

Peace with your brother

Hold you mother closer

And how you do it all while staying sober

And if you never met Erykah

Do you think you'd be who you supposed to

These just the thoughts I keep inside when I drive

Was told don't share dreams prematurely or they'll never arrive

That being said I never had a team

They thought I did with all the styles I bring

Exception they couldn't fathom the thought of it

They called him different

Always dolo on a mission

Couldn't envision cig in his ear

Drunk off malt liquor

Death of a salesman born in West End Bridgeport

These the memoirs I live for

Auto bio no spin offs

I'ma call it the strong friend

Gotta check on your strong friends

Strong friends

Gotta check on your strong friends

Gotta check on ya

Gotta check on em

Great is a state of mind

Everything divine is subjective

It's what you settle for end up being all you end up with

Couldn't be Hughes

Obviously y'all confused

Never make power moves against the gut

Those ghosts haunt you

Probably why I feel more lucid poltergeist than human

What ruins influenced him

Crooked paths often congruent

With a stick up kid

Born from the ribs

Right hand to God

Left hand on his dick

Gripping life by the balls til something hit

Pause then rewind

Back to wanting to be signed

When trains to NY where I would recline and form my design

Where homies say slow down

Projecting fears all on my desires

Better to keep quiet

Protect your dreams or live in denial

People fear what they can't understand or manipulate

Trends they make only imitate

Passion only intimidates

Fear the love so they tend to hate

Sentiment only been to pace

No weapon formed penetrate

My solo dolo my spirit state

The strong friend

Gotta check on your strong friends

Strong friends

Gotta check on your strong friends

Gotta check on ya

Gotta check on em

Gotta check on them strong friends

They don't see the plan

They don't understand the plan

They just know that they struck gold

They know that we're gold

We may not be gold and shining right now

But they know that we're gold

But we see the dirt

They see everything that we are

Everything we're trying to be

But we don't see it like that

Because we're not where we wanna be
