My Best Friend

[Intro: Tyrese] I’ma do everything in my strength to keep you near Let’s go [Bridge: Tyrese] All the many days you were on my mind Visions of me with you all the time I do whatever puts a smile on my baby's face My best friend and you can never be replaced [Verse 1: Black Thought] Yuh, yo I'm on that homicide, suicide, drama like Islamabad Under God, goin' overboard like the Amistad Ringin' bells, it was 2012 back in ‘95 I made it out alive, now, finally, I've arrived But still threw back to all my other blue black People that's stickin' to it like mice to a glue trap My work speak for itself, so I don't interrupt I am an expert, this is no beginner's luck If you denyin' the truth, then I don't give a fuck Otherwise, get your hands and your antennas up As we go into our initial decent, I'm alive, but only fifty percent I’m prayin' God give me the strength [Chorus: Main Event West] It’s like somebody turned on the light (Turned on the light) It’s like somebody started a fire and I feel so alive Finally, I’ve realized that I don't have to tell myself twice I know that you've changed my whole life And if I know there’s one thing that’s the truth I know I’d be lost if I lost you [Bridge: Tyrese] (Here in my life, just you and I) What am I gonna do? (Here in my life, just you and I) My best friend and you can never be replaced [Verse 2: Ludacris] They say tomorrow’s not promised today But today I promise if we don’t make our own way, somebody’ll take it from us Snatch it like rats to cheese So, Lord, help me please 'cause I rather die on my feet than to live on my knees Living like I’m bulletproof Cockin' the Glock and aim and shoot My future’s ever clear, a 180 proof So I open the bottle then swallow my pride and drink the pain away I take shots and just lay up then fade away Dreamin' of better days, dreamin' of better pay But we got our work cut out for us, so we better pray Pray to uphold the weak, not for eternal sleep But if I die, I pray the Lord my soul to keep [Chorus: Main Event West] It’s like somebody turned on the light (Turned on the light) It’s like somebody started a fire and I feel so alive Finally, I’ve realized that I don't have to tell myself twice I know that you've changed my whole life And if I know there’s one thing that’s the truth I know I’d be lost if I lost you [Outro: Tyrese] (Here in my life, just you and I) (Here in my life, just you and I) You can never be replaced
