Best Friend

[Chorus]
You were my best friend
But when I reminisce, my face gets drenched
Broke his heart 'cause, dog, you left him
When I went through the rain, helped with all my pain
You were my best friend
It hurt to see you go, brought me peace at home
I know you waiting up in heaven
Always by my side, got you in my mind, you still my best friend

[Verse 1]
We've been together for a long time
But now you gone, it holds more weight than a long line
I know you see me from above like a spot light
It got me feelin' like I'm Alex off of Prom Night
I took a break, it's not my turn to go like stoplights
You made it better through my hard times
This pain, it hurts, I lost a piece of me, no shark bite
This the second one I'm marred by
When the doctor shook her head, I held your arm tight
Both of us young when we first met
Gave you my heart 'cause you earned it
I was the one that you knew best
Now I'm the one that you left
The stormy clouds, they were too dense
But I came out on top like a roof vent
Yo' time was priceless, that's my two cents
Had to clean up though it killed me like a loose end
I got your urn, even though that it sits on my shelf, you belong in my arms
You body was shuttin' down and you breathin' hard
Loved you so much that yo' death? I could see beyond
Is it even fair? Now I'm sittin' here tryna beat the odds
I'ma treat this song like a greetin' card
I'm still showin' love while dealin' cards
Never got my credit like a Visa card
One of three people that ain't treat me wrong
You broke my heart, you ain't mean it harm
At the heaven gates, I'll be meetin' ya

[Chorus]
You were my best friend
But when I reminisce, my face gets drenched
Broke his heart 'cause, dog, you left him
When I went through the rain, helped with all my pain
You were my best friend
It hurt to see you go, brought me peace at home
I know you waiting up in heaven
Always by my side, got you in my mind, you still my best friend

[Verse 2]
I lost the one that was closest to me
She died as I held her, that wasn't the shit I was hopin' to see
Its been a lil' while since I was so shook, now I'm cold as I grieve
Got me spinning in circles, no donuts to see
The cousin of sleep, opponent to me
And some of the saddest shit for a poet to read
The timer was tickin', but say it ain't, so that's hypnosis to me
You spendin' the last of your moments with me
Always by my side, so I know what you see
I can't get a moment of peace
One day, I'll be back by your side, so just hold it for me
While I stay on my grind, I'm controllin' my grief
I am a weapon but know that I chose to unload for a week
But I had to get back up on both of my feet
Even though you not there when I look back, I still see you
Though, I let you go, I still need you
At the heaven gates I will meet you
But I'm doin' shit I still need to
Couldn't picture this if I quickly drew
Brought it out the wrapper, big league chew
Can't believe that it's really true
Life's a bitch and she wore me out, Jimmy Choo's
A gift from my uncle, I still feel your presence
More than a song, more than a message
This is the shit I was dreading
Yo' kidneys were failin', protect you from that shit
Got more than a whole 'nother year and you still wasn't ready
But this time yo' organs were failing
Was tryna to get you to eat, I was beggin'
And every moment we spent, no, I do not regret it
It sucks that you're gone, but I know you in heaven
And when I'm gone, yo' location is where I am headed

[Chorus]
You were my best friend
But when I reminisce, my face gets drenched
Broke his heart 'cause, dog, you left him
When I went through the rain, helped with all my pain
You were my best friend
It hurt to see you go, brought me peace at home
I know you waiting up in heaven
Always by my side, got you in my mind
You were my best friend
But when I reminisce, my face gets drenched
Broke his heart 'cause, dog, you left him
When I went through the rain, helped with all my pain
You were my best friend
It hurt to see you go, brought me peace at home
I know you waiting up in heaven
Always by my side, got you in my mind, you still my best friend
