Daniel John - A Friend Lyrics

I swear we were talking like the other day
I was busy making moves you were making plays
I remember we were kids there was no such thing as fear
If push came to shove we had to find a way
Told me you were down bad couldn't even pay rent
I want it all I'm talking now not talking past tense
Just got call said you're gone I'm like what happened
He got shot while he was trapping

We were children in the park
Two innocent hearts
We came from the same town just a different part
I was like a book worm you were selling drugs
Before I even knew I turned around and you were gone
Now If you were standing here would life be different
Tears still coming from my eyes when I see the pictures
I can't get you out my mind I started drinking liquor
Best friends be so hard to find and now you end up missing

From that moment on I had to handle business
When I first heard the news I swear it almost killed me
I couldn't even imagine how your moms was feeling
I believe parents should never have bury their children
I told you so many times that homie you were gifted
People die in these streets don't need another victim
He said I'm not like you my life is not that simple
It's either ball or these drugs or get caught in the system

We were children in the park
Two innocent hearts
We came from the same town just a different part
I was like a book worm you were selling drugs
Before I even knew I turned around and you were gone
Now If you were standing here would life be different
Tears still coming from my eyes when I see the pictures
I can't get you out my mind I started drinking liquor
Best friends be so hard to find and now you end up missing
