Best Friend

[Intro]
Hey
You know, it's kinda, uh, it's kinda hard for me to do this
You know what I'm sayin'? I know we tell each other everything
Trying not to tell you, but, you know, this one's for you
Hey, hey, rock
Vibe with me right now like, uh
Vibe with me right now like, uh
Vibe with me right, vibe with me, vibe with me, ride with me
Yeah

[Verse 1]
And to my big sister Nique (Hey), who more like my mother (Mother)
Two years apart, but never far apart from each other
Damn, ain't this life crazy? (Crazy)
We grown now and you tryna have your first baby
A lot of people wouldn't know, but you the one that put me on J. Cole
You inspire me to write these songs
Use to be up in your room all day (Day) and when I couldn't sleep
I would find a pillow by your door up in the hallway, see?
We unbreakable, my true best friend (Best friend)
Ya know we got each other until the world ends
Even when that happens, hope I see you at the gates
And give you one last handshake and wipe the tears off your face 'cause

[Chorus]
I wrote this song just for you, for you, for you, for you
'Cause you inspire me to do everything I do, I do, I do, I do
And anytime you need to talk (Talk), and anytime you need to vent (Vent)
I'm always gon' be there for you, this is a long message to my best friend

[Verse 2]
Hey, let's take it back to that small house on Onslow (Onslow)
We was always playing catch with pops
All his older homies on the block
All day on the porch, they was smoking pot
We was numb to the smell, it was heaven for us
They were living in hell though, but we couldn't tell
Life was a fairy tale, no rent to pay, no job to slave at
Man, those were the days, now everything has changed
'Cause granny no longer here (Here)
You can feel my pain, but don't see my tears (Tears)
I can see your strain, but no need to fear (Fear)
You know I'm here, call me and I'm there right

[Chorus]
I wrote this song just for you, for you, for you, for you
'Cause you inspire me to do everything I do, I do, I do, I do
And anytime you need to talk (Talk), and anytime you need to vent (Vent)
I'm always gon' be there for you, this is a long message to my best friend

[Verse 3]
Hey, can't believe I haven't seen you since I left for L.A.
Glad you doing well (Well), we still talk every day
You got you a family and I'm chasing my dreams
If I ain't talking to anyone, know I'm talking to Nique
A lot of times, I was upset up on the phone (Phone)
You wouldn't know because I had to hide it (Hide it)
I know you don't like to see your little brother in this world alone
Barely graduated high school and now you gone, what?
But I promise, I'll be back with a deal
If not a deal, a lot of fans that understand when it's real
Understand when you genuine, but killing with skill
Understand that the love for your family is real
So anytime you need me, Nique, you know I'm here (Here)
And anytime you wanna talk, you know I'm here (There)
And anytime you wanna vent, just let me know
I can't wait to call your phone and say sister, we on, like for real
Sister, we on
Sister, we on like
Hey, that be the best day

[Chorus]
I wrote this song just for you, for you, for you, for you
'Cause you inspire me to do everything I do, I do, I do, I do
And anytime you need to talk (You need to talk), and anytime you need to vent
I'm always gon' be there for you, this is a long message to my best friend

[Outro]
Oh
Oh
Hey, hey
This is a long message to my best friend
Hey, uh, uh
Hey, uh, uh, uh
Hey, uh, hey, uh
Yeah
