It's been awhile since we really got to sit and talk I'm tryna know how you been living dawg Cause I was thinking back to when we would used to kick it all alone It was just me, you, and the mission aw man sh**'s different huh? See you stressing hard, seen you busy with the songs And i know you're tryna blow up But listen all i'm saying is it isn't hard for you to pick the phone up and give a call But I get it, i know you more than anyone I know you're tryna be the greatest when it's said and done But I don't wanna see you lose the title friend to some That's the sh** that I refuse to ever let become apart of you You know we all concerned We know you're hard at work, hopefully the thought occurs Of way back before, all of this had started first When you're at cloud nine, you're gonna have to fall to earth But how you land, determines if you're a man It don't really matter the surface in which you stand Keep that sh** in mind when you're lying in ya bed And no one wants to listen to the sh** inside ya head So you grab that f**in pen Old friend, we know what it does Cause they were for you when nearly nobody was So I get if you ain't picking up the phone when it buzz But I don't want your memory of me to float into dust Don't you remember? We were in the lunchroom spittin' Now I'm tryna figure out just where the f** you've hidden You gotta face it that maybe this sh** just ain't workin' I know you like to pretend we're not the same person But you been k**in it, and it's oddly fitting Cause you're left with no one else, I know it's kinda sh**ty And i know how much you feel like you been dying quickly But try to remember Ryan, Ricky.. Hit me when you can.. (Hello?) Hey, I just listened to your message You really sound like you been stressing But maybe you just made the wrong impression And I don't want this sh** to get depressing Let's focus on the present "See i don't really think you even get it.." Well, thats why I'm here I don't know wanna leave you guessing I know the way you tend to interrupt a sentence So please, don't get defensive Lemme get to addressin' what you pressin' You sound like you got somethin to prove But I'm jus busy workin up in the stu And usually people hate cause they got nothin' to do So it's just a little weird to hear it comin' from you But since you really wanna air it out I been worried you won't find someone to care about See I ain't got sh** and all I ever get is rap You got a life outside of it all, I don't really think that you remember that This sh** ain't turn out how we thought it would An old friend went from childhood to fatherhood When i was down, you were nowhere to be found But when the party good You tryna hit me up like all is good And it's insulting that you think you can jus bank on me When this whole entire time I've had my tank on E Probably thinkin' sh**'s cool, you'll jus wait on me You quit school and put the weight on me So i don't really understand You're tellin me how to be a man? And it don't really matter the surface in which I stand? But I'm who put the work in from the jump Wasn't perfect but i stuck You're envying the person I've become You always say you aren't fake son But this is how your treat your only day one? Sounds to me like you jus wit it til the pay come You're lucky i made a call I almost didn't make one, you ain't f**in special I should be calmer instead Quit letting' people in that weren't part of the plan Cause I don't really wanna have to go and start it again I got your entire future in the palm of my hand See there's a reason why these women always quit replyin' And you're left alone wit me to only sit in silence Do your own thing, and lemme be the king of rhymin' Remember you aren't Ricky, Ryan...
