Aniseed Liquor

Verse One

Aniseed Liquor, Stixx and I reminisce about the days
When we were coming up as little nippers
Now we touring overseas
Hanging out with Nujabes and cruising Tokyo to Yokohama by the sea
And we eating Chinese, Wing Wah, High Road Leytonstone
Open only six days a week, eat a number 93
Barbecue spare ribs and hold the sauce please
These my brand new jeans
Aniseed Liquor, remember when I told you bout’ my best friend J?
The one who went away to prison back day
A couple years ago he called me asking for an alibi
Police was after him, so asking me if I would lie
I told him J, let me take this time to introduce you to someone
That you need to meet he’s called the truth
You my man, fifty grand, shake my hand
But I doubt I’m gonna perjure myself on the stand for you
Aniseed Liquor, Charl it’s gonna take more than words to paint the picture
Of how much I love you and how much I miss ya’
Can only thank God I got to share my life wit’ ya’
And you’re sacred to me like a verse from the scripture
So when you get to Euston I’mma always come and getcha’
So please remember that I’m just a phone call away
You are the light that makes the dark things fall away

Chorus

Each time, all the time, every time (x4)

Verse Two

Aniseed liquor, Lei, ever since we recorded Imagine Me
I knew that you were special, you forever on my team
Cos you always there to back me up for anything I need
And listen to me talk about the things that get me peeved
And I am super proud of when you striving to achieve
And when I suffocate, we conversate so I can breathe
And your Mom said a prayer for my Pops to help me grieve when I was the bereaved
Aniseed liquor, Parris you don’t know how much a true inspiration
We live in different countries holding down communication
And went to school together, so we class foundation
I got to learn a lot from you all kinds of information
And see you moving forward to a place of elevation
You held me down when I would make New York my destination
I always had a place to stay without a reservation, so much appreciation
Aniseed liquor, these are the people who go beyond careers
And these are the people who know beyond my fears
Felt my tears and were there and they cared
And go beyond the Dennison years
Aniseed liquor, these are the people who know about my journey
And these are the people who listened and really heard me
And these are the people who made me feel really worthy
So let me take a slurp b

Chorus

Outro

Friendship… yeah, I mean
I don’t know... friendship is a beautiful thing
I think um’...
It’s one of those things that sometimes it’s hard to put into words
It’s crazy like… you know…
I’ve been fortunate that…
I’ve been blessed with some beautiful people in my life
