Lyrics

Can't copy my rhyme, gotta stay in line
Lend you the ink so you can draw the line
Where you want it, won't overstep
Owed debt, better days, seen tears
But we never been upset, mistakes are made
Pain is laid, not wet in the rain
Storm's behind us, down the drain
Never switched sides, but we changed lane
Riding life's tracks all the way in the same trains
Asked to be better, like we're holding the reins
Differences behind us, they serve as reminders
Everybody sees everything, but kindness
Good nature carries the heart, so you're mindless
Talking life, but death will do us part to the heart
And we mind less, remain mindful of each other
Without one another, who are we called brother
Been 12 years, could go another 100 more to discover
12 years, seen tears, seen things, face fears
Brothers in arms, face forward present past future peers
The time we have is the time that disappears
This the life were living as long as no one interferes
Lies to yourself about loyalty and trust
While you leave everybody else around you in the dust
The man you become is a depiction of disgust
While all the good deeds in your life go undiscussed
Jealousy and hate is a reason to keep going
Everybody else around you unaware, unknowing
They only ever see what you decide that you are showing
Only the closest aware of what your really undergoing
Live young, die free, while you still have the chance
In a world so imperfect people judge you with a glance
Society views you with societal demands
But they'll never back down from their premeditated stance
Yeah, in a time so fucked
Where would friendship be without luck?
People to rely on, and they don't fuck up
Stand by me like Ben. E King
Without betrayal in the song I sing
Fluent in the flow, how it flow though
People see me as unforgiving, I just let go
Don't forget though, here from the start, from the get go
12 years, not without lies and regrets though
Different lifestyles intertwine
Bring together two worlds collide
Fit with a rhyme, back as a kid
Harshness of reality, read off a page
In a line scripted with a message, shape of a sign
It's a sign of the times, you ain't surrounded by these lies
Affiliates for 12 years, shared sentimental cries
But you're tearing through the chapters
If you ain't reading between the lines
And we've been through it all, and people still undermine
Sometimes we hit the punches that we don't mean
People make assumptions but we're not mean
Good old friends with bad old ways
Grew up together so we're different in our own ways
Now looking back, we miss those days
Days before the void, before life was more perfect
Bonafide fun, but I only scratch the surface
Reaching all your signals, but I'm never at your service
See people hating, but that doesn't concern us
Everyone the enemy, when everyone leaves eventually
It's a tendency with people growing up
With abandonment issues, what the fuck
These issues aren't addressed enough
Play fighting, but we ain't rough
The ground is where we rise
Going through all the struggles in these trying times
Feeling like Blake with these rhymes
Oftentimes, no one sees each other through the lines
And their state of happiness with the other declines
12 years, 50 more, seen what we saw
Present hours, been here before after
Times like '24, tears and laughter
Current years, these days going by faster
This the kind of friendship that you see in documentary
All the life experiences making new Memories
Sitting In The Void the way we're leaving a Legacy
But Dark Thoughts never get the best of us, best of me
Everything's behind us, arguments and fights
In the past and we friends, like Francis And The Lights
But I'm feeling more like Frank in the ocean, and the nights
Climbing buildings every day and we're drinking til the light
Cause you know I'll be there like the Jackson 5
And I'm gaining all the traction like Four-wheel drive
It's been 17 years. another 80 I'm alive
But you'll never need to check on me
You know I'll thrive
