Текст Royce Da 5’9″ – Strong Friend

Reflections of your strong friend
You need to check up on your strong friend
Nobody ever checks up on your strong friend
Uh, strong friend

I remember 2003, out hear screaming, «We next»
I was grippin’ that 300, Rockin Rye Lexus GS
I put rhinestones on my du-rag, I put on leather pants
I went to parties just for Bacardi, I tricked, I never danced
All my friends expected to be treated just as my next of kin
Eyebrows lift up if I’m out with them and let them spend
The question is, «How is y’all problems becoming my problems?
I’m already hiding all of my problems behind my pop’ problems»
When I was nine, seen my father beat the shit out of my momma
I’m smilin’ right now, I’m trying not to cry about it
Alcoholic, I just spent five thousand tryna buy bottles
Of Patron again, now sing along with your strongest friend

Suicide, it’s a suicide
Suicide, it’s a suicide
Suicide, it’s a suicide
Suicide, it’s a suicide

You need to check up on your strong friend
The one with strength that’s never gon’ end
The one with sense, take care of several grown men
Pay they rent and then they trade on him, the Devil play to win
I remember I had Maia Campbell in my Mercedes Benz
You probably thought she gave in to the plot Satan’s sin
She got demons greater than, you and I
And this message is to Denaun and to Shady, you say we friends?
Well take care of Lyric, 80 and baby Quinn like they Hailie then
It’s shit is my funeral, y’all should play all of my songs too

Check up on your strong friend, uh
