Jammie Smith - Old Friend lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember the first time you overdosed A f**ing overload on meth, paramedics saved your a**, you was close to ghost You never did know which road to go It's like you rode the boat and sailed away and hoped to hit the golden coast But you sank like the Titanic The incident, it left your life damaged, and that's when I panicked You thought you had it locked, well you ain't on the right planet If you're trying to live your life right, plan it It's like your mind vanished, you don't even know that I wish that we could go back, cause it's so sad when I tell jokes and you don't laugh Like you used to, I really hate to stress it, but you strange to mess with So I keep my distance, cause you always got this blank expression Like you're confused and unaware of your surroundings Emotions have gone and no one's found it, it's overwhelming Your momma told you that d** are bad But you ain't listen 'til the fire burned your a**, now you understand [Hook] Now you always look like you don't know me And I'm mad at the world cause the meth took away my homie (Give me back my homie, please come home) I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to (Where'd you go?) I never would've thought my best friend would be gone in the future But I was wrong [Verse 2] I should've stopped you when I had the chance to do so But back then I had felt like that was too bold You started hanging with new folks, and made the drug environment your new home This world is too cold, could I have prevented this? Who knows? They convinced you that this sh** was cool and hip to do Saying it would lift your mood and make you feel invincible So you started skipping school, hanging with these wicked dudes Unaware that when you got older you played a bigger fool And it's pitiful, where the f** they at now? In they mid-20s pa**ed out inside of a crack house Back when you met them I had doubts, they put you on the bad route And when you needed they help to pick you up, they f**ing backed out They f**ing got you, I can't lie But now your brain's fried, and you don't even act like you're the same guy Your momma told you that d** are bad But you ain't listen 'til the fire burned your a**, now you understand [Hook] Now you always look like you don't know me And I'm mad at the world cause the meth took away my homie (Give me back my homie, please come home) I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to (Where'd you go?) I never would've thought my best friend would be gone in the future But I was wrong [Verse 3] I ain't never felt this sh** before, it gets me sore I reminisce on us playing Nintendo 64 And that Christmas in '97 we got new crispy boards And we was doing ollies in my kitchen on the slippery floor sh** changed and it happened quick But I can't forget that you was the first homie I started rapping with You could've had half of this back when I had established it But now I have to sit and feel bad, look what your actions did Man you were so outgoing and so hysterical Seeing you now is just unbearable, it's terrible You should've made your choices wisely, f**ing with poison ivy, Without your brain please tell me what would your point in life be? It's a struggle to get your a** to listen You really hurt me and the rest of your family with all your bad decisions We always told you that d** are bad But you ain't listen 'til the fire burned your a**, now you understand [Hook] Now you always look like you don't know me And I'm mad at the world cause the meth took away my homie (Give me back my homie, please come home) I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to (Where'd you go?) I never would've thought my best friend would be gone in the future But I was wrong [Outro] Excuse me do ya need a ride? Looks like you're going downtown Yes, hop in my ride, well hi, I'm Chris Dolmeth I'm your best friend (Chris Dolmeth) I'm all you need (Chris Dolmeth) If you wanna succeed, hop in my ride Well hi I'm Chris Dolmeth
