Friends Back

Yeah

I used to have a lotta friends but I lost 'em
'Cause they went to prison or ended up in a coffin
A couple of them thought military was really awesome
Till they signed up never knowing it would cost 'em
Ain't enough talking for me to even find the words
So I get lost in my thoughts and I grind the herb
They say the good die young and this life's absurd
I'm sick and tired of the bullshit that I just heard
I wish I could get back to the (good old days, good old days)
When the only thing I had to worry 'bout was remembering to (look both ways, look both ways)
Before crossing the street
Walk to the store for a sweet
Smoke it all till I'm coughing and falling asleep
Got a heart full of something, they all on repeat
I'm ignoring the darkness that's following me
How can it be, I'm feeling so alone
I took a whole week just to do a fucking song
I try to do right but I'm always doing wrong
So I pick up a lighter and put some weed in the bong
Write a message on my phone and I'll never send that
'Cause it's one of the homies that ain't able to hit back
If I had the time and the money I would spend that
Just so I could get all of my motherfucking friends back
Hello, is anybody here?
'Cause I feel like nobody cares
Loneliness has got me scared
I feel like I'm not prepared
So I take a deep breath to relieve the stress
And then dry my eyes, put head to the sky
I would be telling you a lie
If I said grown men don't cry

Man, I just want my friends back
The ones gone overseas
And ones gone from ODs
Man, I just want my friends back
I wanna sit back in those trees
With a couple of the real OGs
Man, I just want my friends back, friends back
Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back
Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back
If you hear an issue, feel me
'Cause all that I really got is me

I got a couple old friends and I think about 'em often
Some are still alive and some are chilling in a coffin
The thought of it is honestly the part hat's so exhausting
'Cause all I ever wanted was to figure out our problems
We've had a lot of disagreements over petty shit
Then life got in the way and somehow we seem to let it slip
The blessing is I see that you got kids and a wedding ring
I bet they're all grown up now, send me pics
And even though we both struggled through the pain
No matter what I made sure that my number never changed
I know as we get older it's like nothing is the same
But remember when we said that we'd be brothers to the grave
It's kinda crazy how this lifestyle is
But I never expected it to be quite like this
I'm doing good, I got a wife, no kids
Doc told us when she's pregnant that she might birth twins
Anyways, I just hope this song reaches you
The other night I had this weird dream I got to speak to you
I woke up and realized that I gotta see this through
Remember all the good times when it was just me and you

Man, I just want my friends back
The ones gone overseas
And ones gone from ODs
Man, I just want my friends back
I wanna sit back in those trees
With a couple of the real OGs
Man, I just want my friends back, friends back
Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back
Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back
If you hear an issue, feel me
'Cause all that I really got is me
Man, I just want my friends back
