Friends

(album: Wednesday Before Last - 2022)

Why can't we just be friends? (Friends)
Why we always gotta fight? (Fight)
Why we always gotta focus on that dark, instead of following the light? (Light)
Why can't we just be cool? (Why can't we just be cool?)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences, but that's alright
That's alright, yeah

I've been tryna find a light
That sunny side of life
Tryna find a vibe in these life end times but all I finds a fight
And see now, everybody got they fuse lit
It's a world of dynamite
But when you scrapping over that whole pie, theres no time to find a slice
I took my time to find a bite
Mm-mm that food tastes good
They'll take a seat at my table, just like I knew they would
No bickering up in my kitchen so just save that shit
'Cause we just here to give thanks
Get the bread and break that shit
So listen take a minute please
Light one, take a hit and breathe
Come to terms within yourself that it's okay to disagree
Y'all know people gon' be people
They gon' label what they see
But I'll break your label maker if you hanging out with me
Just be cool, just be civil
Just relax, just a little
You could be on the left or the right or come chill with me in the middle
Either way make amends
Shake a hand, make a friend
'Cause who else gon' have your back up in the end?

Why can't we just be friends? (Why can't we just be friends?)
Why we always gotta fight? (Why we always gotta fight?)
Why we always gotta focus on that dark, instead of following the light? (Yeah)
Why can't we just be cool? (Why can't we just be cool?)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences, but that's alright
That's alright, yeah

If we all don't get along soon
Shit I'mma be real, we all are doomed
Read the room
If we gon' stay divided I can only assume
That this world will only get darker as we go further into this rabbit hole
Round and round on this merry go' with no common ground to just grab ahold
With this polarization all over the nation
Communication at an all time low as a population
No cooperation
Misinformation all over your stations
And they don't want conversation
'Cause they know that that right there is the foundation, of love
And once we realize that the whole game is done
That power that they hold over us
With unity we take it from
Don't got a friend, start making some 'cause all we got is eachother
As the rich get richer and the bad guys win
Got to put our faith in a brother
Or in a sister, or in a them or they
'Cause honestly yo, at the end of the day
We on the same team, I'm just giving a premise to play
'Cause life is crazy enough, let's find a better way
Go spread some love, go make a friend and say

Why can't we just be friends? (Why can't we just be friends?)
Why we always gotta fight? (Why we always gotta fight?)
Why we always gotta focus on that dark, instead of following the light? (Yeah)
Why can't we just be cool? (Why can't we just be cool?)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences, but that's alright
That's alright, yeah
