‘Best Friend’ is a love song from Joey written to his wife.
He has written songs with the same message previously, such as “Sweet Love” from The Vantes Project 2 and “For Her” from The Fall EP.
[Verse 1]
I need someone who don't know I’ma make it
I need somebody to help bring the cake in
I need someone who don't care what they sayin
Someone to ride through the night till we make it
Give me the love while I take all this hatred
Tell me it's alright and wait on me patient
When they come at her, she take off the makeup
Lace up the ones cause she ready to take it
With me through hard times and down in the valley
Take what we set up and head out to Cali
They said we crazy but she love the challenge
She’s my "Oh Donna", I'm her Richie Valens
[Verse 2]
Yeah, the type of girl who solo focused on God
The kind of person who is truthful, ain't got no time for no fraud
She the baddest one around, deserve a standin' applause
No makeup on and I can still see the reflection of God
It's amazin', I don't know how you do it
When I was broke, busted down, you held my hand and walked through it
And in that lions den, you ain't even flinch
All the mountains that we climb together, yeah, you ain’t even trip, that’s how I know you real
[Bridge]
Yeah, old school from that three-ten
OG type of girl from that Westin'
All I need in this life to win is just me and my best friend, yeah
Oh, I love the way we started
Always ten-toe, she ain’t half-hearted (Woah)
She ain't one for the talkin' (Nah)
'Bout that action she walkin’, yeah
I know I couldn't do this by myself
You're by my side, I don't need no one else
Kick back with me and watch the sea part, yeah
[Chorus]
Pretty ting from the wesside
Pretty ting from the wesside
Yeah
I'm so glad that you're my best friend
Aye, pretty ting from the wesside
I'm so glad that you're my best friend
[Outro: Singing and speech]
My girl's just different, man, for real, I mean like... we came up together, y'know what I'm sayin'? We used to hustle together in the streets, and so, when we changed things for influence of a culture in a positive way, y'know, I never looked at her as any lesser than me, but she my equal, and because of that when we reach certain milestones we're able to enjoy that success together, y'know? And I feel like behind every great man is a greater woman
Pretty ting from the wesside
Pretty ting from the wesside
Yeah
I'm so glad that you're my best friend
