Friend Like You Lyrics

[Ad-Lib: Lee Fields]
Ayy, lemme try it from the top again

[Intro: Lee Fields]
My mind is scaring me right now
Somebody shine a little light down
Tell me is there anybody out there
Feeling like I do?
Oo-ho-hoo
Sing it brother

[Verse 1: Eso]
Yo, this is a leap of faith
I got heart, you can count on that
It's all mind over matter
When you hit rock bottom, you gon' bounce right back
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off
And you start from ground zero
And, if you need any help
Just believe in yourself, you are your own hero
Look at your cape in the wind
Everything you do is cinematic
Light speed through time and space
And with a pinch of magic you can rip the fabric
But I guess it all starts with you
'Cause getting here is pretty hard to do
There's pitfalls and brick walls
But when you know there's no spoon
It's pretty hard to lose, yo

[Hook: Lee Fields]
My mind is scaring me right now
Somebody shine a little light down
Tell me is there anybody out there
Feeling like I do, I do?
Well here I am, I got the blues again
I'm on my knees and I could use my friend
Tell me is there anybody out there
Feeling like I do, I do?

[Verse 2: Bliss]
One shot, hit the white
8 ball in the pocket, winning right? (Winning)
Well, look at what Charlie did
I can't build my dream in this party bitch
'Cause life is like a race, but then you get a little pace
And have a fender and you fall and you go trippin' on your lace
This is my life and I don't like to cuss y'all
But everyone here can go politely fuck off
This is what I should do, good voodoo
Hit the surf, it'll put me in a good mood
If I—If I believe I can achieve
Gotta be the best version of me that I can be
So remember, when your thoughts are wild
Only you hold the key to unlock your smile
Do I keep the fight up, best bet I do
It means the world that I found a best friend like you
Come on

[Hook: Lee Fields]
My mind is scaring me right now
Somebody shine a little light down
Tell me is there anybody out there
Feeling like I do, I do?
Well here I am, I got the blues again
I'm on my knees and I could use my friend
Tell me is there anybody out there
Feeling like I do, I do?
My mind is scaring me right now
Somebody shine a little light down
Tell me is there anybody out there
Feeling like I do, I do?
Well here I am, I got the blues again
I'm on my knees and I could use my friend
Tell me is there anybody out there
Feeling like I do, I do?

[Outro: Lee Fields & Les Brown (Sampled)]
Oo-ho-hoo, yeah
You will discover some things about yourself that you don't know right now
Speak your mind
What you will realise is
Tell it like it is
What you will realise is that you're more powerful than you can ever imagine
Don't hold back
Sing it brother
Your—Your dream, Your—Your dream
Your—Your dream, Your—Your dream
Sing your song
Your—Your dream is possible
Oo-ho-hoo
