My Friend

LETRA

My Friend

All the people that said I wouldn't amount to nothing, I want to thank you
Just remember, karma is the biggest gangster
Sincerely yours

Wish I could show you all the pain that I done come through
My daddy was a soldier guess that makes me one too
But that’s a different chapter
Cry through the laughter
University of life, got my bachelor’s
It’s Snoop, pull up in that big body zero miles
Speaking my truth, chop the roof, head in the clouds
It’s us against the world
Strap on your Nikes, girl
It’s time to show these niggas
You aint just an icy girl
Don’t let 'em get inside your head. Get your paper
Making sweet love to the bread, I think I need a baker
He is I and I am him
It ain't no second place where I'm from
You gotta win, twin

At times thought I wasn't gon' make it
Cold world
These diamonds my security blanket
I want it all and that's my price
You gotta love yourself first
That's my only advice

Live life
You gotta live life
Dance like nobody watching
I don't care who you like
Be who you are
You a star without the cameras and lights
Live life
Live your best life
Yeah, feeling like you're winning but inside you're losing
You ain't got motion, that don't mean God ain't moving

Crack in our semilac, the cards we was dealt
Being young and black, dreams might get put on the shelf
Took my talents to the max, I ain't do it myself
Told my grandma I'm gon' build us generational wealth
Just to leave it to my family, hope they understand me
You know she got a habit, baby, I ain't need a plan B
You see the faces of the kids? Takes a village
That's why you gotta do it big, sky's the limit
This for the ones who stuck it out to the end
Luther Vandross stayed through the thick and the thin
He is I and I am him
It ain't no second place where I'm from
You gotta win, twin

My teacher said I wasn't gon' make it
Cold world
These diamonds my security blanket
I want it all and that's my price
You gotta love yourself first, that's my only advice

Live life
You gotta live life
Sing like nobody watching
I don't care what they like
be who you are, you a star without the cameras and lights
Live life
live your best life
I know feeling like you're winning but inside you're losing
you ain't got motion But that don't mean God ain't moving,
live life

Live your best life
Life
Life
Get to it
Get to it
Live life
