[Verse 1]
And so the story begins
Chapter one, pick up the crayon
We dating back to the pen
Where you was my friend
I mean, you still is, but as I grow older
Feelings begin to break moulds
You still with me when the world’s cold
Concealing you between this walls
And with my words
Uh, that tattered fur
Never spat a curse or had the nerve to hurt patch of fur
I’m packing raps with power
Disperse with crap they haven’t heard
Conversing back with that lil bear
And I don’t know when it’ll come to an end

[Chorus]
Cause you’re my friend
Wе been through all of the bends
But I been falling, tryna crawl up
While you ploppеd on the bed
Cause you’re my friend
My knees get weaker with time
It won’t be long till yours do
Cause our feet skeet on a fine line
Cause you’re my friend
We been through all of the bends
But I been falling, tryna crawl up
While you plopped on the bed
Cause you’re my friend, yeah
[Verse 2]
So now we turning the page
It’s the next step, pick up the pen
We progressing with age
And my mental state isn’t so great
Cause I be pondering about your future
When I should focus on my own
It’s like your on a thread, opening sutures
And I just don’t know where you’ll go
In a sense, it’s giving me mortality
Where will you go when I’m deep in a casket
Forming fallacies when we explore galaxies
But the darkness still distorting reality
But I see light in that
Yeah I see light in that
This mental tug-o-war
Fighting back is never gonna wear nightmares out
Uh, this piece of nostalgia expands as I grow older
All of it these meanings are altered and this man added on my shoulder
Saying “this here thing cannot talk or manifest these emotions”
But the imagination still plaguing my brain when it’s in motion
And so when I’m gone
Which hands you gon’ land on?
Or pedestal you’ll stand on
And will you carry this song?
I’m not sure, but I’m bombing this verse
So I’ll stop before I disperse nonsense
And words with no meaning clog up the song
[Chorus]
Cause you’re my friend
We been through all of the bends
But I been falling, tryna crawl up
While you plopped on the bed
Cause you’re my friend
My knees get weaker with time
It won’t be long till yours do
Cause our feet skeet on a fine line
Cause you’re my friend
We been through all of the bends
But I been falling, tryna crawl up
While you plopped on the bed
Cause you’re my friend, yeah

[Bridge]
So say you will remember me
Through this symphony
Say you always gon remember me
Through this symphony
So say you will remember me
Through this symphony
Say you always gon remember me
Through this symphony-y-y-y y-y-y, uh

[Verse 3]
Giving y’all an anthem that’ll crack the pavement
Within minutes, giving y’all some tantrums
Aggravated faces from this wisdom flipping y’all’s opinions
That I can’t really take in and digest
Like this broad statement I have been conveying
But I gotta keep my head up or this crown will fall off
But the horns of a goat never fail to support
Anything that sits up top
Like all these thoughts clogging my process
But I push through it with progress
Cause you is—
[Chorus]
Cause you’re my friend
We been through all of the bends
But I been falling, tryna crawl up
While you plopped on the bed
Cause you’re my friend
My knees get weaker with time
It won’t be long till yours do
Cause our feet skeet on a fine line
Cause you’re my friend
We been through all of the bends
But I been falling, tryna crawl up
While you plopped on the bed
Cause you’re my friend, yeah
