Serving as a sequel to “Woodcrest Manor”, Raury continues the theme of nostalgia from its predecessor. He touches on the “good times” he and a close friend shared, retrospectively realizing how music influenced the lives they lived.
[Hook]
We used to be friends
On the street, you and me, 'til the sidewalk would end, yeah
With the windows rolled down and the Cudi turned up
Yeah, we did it all now, look at how we turned up, oh
Everybody came down, everybody rolled up
Look at how we went in, look at how we turned up, oh
Oh (Yeah, yeah)
You whipping that Benz
Mercedes, super clean, that's what you champion, yeah, yeah
With the windows rolled down and the Kanye turned up
Yeah, we did it all now, look at how we turned up, oh
Everybody came down, everybody rolled up
Look at how we went in, look at how we turned up, oh
Oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse]
See, you can be salty like them fries you be supersizing
The darker mental cloud than the kids that be suiciding
But who am I to be like Houdini and proof n pot 'em?
“Alladupahollouwishes", and poof away all the problems
I know I used to deal with you
Your brother was the plug who had Tommys like Hilfiger
And you'd move up to white girls, popping them pills, get ya
Acting wild, now you got face tats, plotting to kill niggas
Nonetheless we was still niggas
The last one in your circle that's keeping it real with you
Did you know that snakes in your circle would build with you?
And still slither, they plot for the day that the steels hits you
For good times, that's all I reminisce about my homie; the good times
Yeah, take me anywhere long as you show me the good times
Remember back at Woodcrest, I would spit neighborhood rhymes?
Would find the youngins just like me probably would shine
Probably would shine, probably would shine
Probably would, probably would, probably would
[Hook]
We used to be friends, oh
On the street, you and me, 'til the sidewalk would end, yeah
With the windows rolled down and the Cudi turned up
Yeah, we did it all now, look at how we turned up, oh
Everybody came down, everybody rolled up
Look at how we went in, look at how we turned up, oh
Oh (Yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
