Best Friend Lyrics - Pharrell

Yeah, ye...spit my gum out right now...haha 

What up world? Got my insperation in the studio with me, right?...feelin' good 

Got a lot to smile about, ahaha, talk to y'all niggas...yessur, hey 

[Verse 1] 

My best friend say I'm bottled up, I need a fucking therapist 

But I can't think of nobody I wanna share this with 

Why should I open up on somebody elses carelessness... 

[cork pops] There goes the top, nigga, so here it is 

Mama workin' all day, Daddy out in the streets 

Imagine 10 years old full of doubt and defeat 

Growing up around criminals, with clout and deceat 

My grandma Loucelle used to tell me, you about what you wheap 

She used to help me with my homework, addiction-subtraction 

Added faith to my life and doubt got subtracted 

Wanna skip ya mind from crying better learn something, son 

You be beatin' on my couches, why don't you try hit the drums 

Look, oo you see me ma 

They wish they could be me ma 

As I got better, her body was eaten by Luchimia 

Seventh grade, it was cursed and sad 

But the gift within it, was when I first met Chad 

But even Chad could tell you that my Christmas was jinxed 

'cause grandma Loucelle died on 12th 19th 

I can't help but wonder, what kind of black cloud I was under 

'cause 15 years later the other died that summer...bummer 

[Chorus] 

My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine 

But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind 

So let it out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what). 

See, you won't even know you hurt sometimes, until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it 

Out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my nigga let it out 

[Verse 2] 

Aye yo, 10 21 Atlantis drive, nigga was action packed 

That's Atlantis apartments, we live in half the back 

That's where the 12 year olds there, they wbe flashing crack 

And when they shoot you nigga, they ain't tryna pass it back 

Aye yo, Diggy, Fleet and Marvian can you imagine that? 

The place we love the most, the hood was built to smash us flat 

But I escaped 'cause I chased, what made me passion that 

Now I got my skate team and spit these acid raps 

So many niggas will rise 

So many them niggas try 

So many them niggas ended up duck-taped and tied 

So many them same niggas, man they moms eyes cry 

So, they just got older, still on the corner with they pride 

Well let me tell niggas something, I'm so glad you alive 

Long as you got a breathe, a pulse, nigga strive 

Devine intervention this is 

I heard a voice nigga, listen to this 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 3] 

Jesus will arange it, but Jesus won't change it 

Hold yourself responsible, on yourself you blame it 

You mad, nigga don't articulate and ??, 

I.E. we best friends, speak best friends language 

I'm a happy nigga, you can't approach me in anguish 

Whoever said anything worth working for would be painless 

Can't be mad at the world 'cause you and your girl ain't famous 

'cause you both on bate, BBC and chainless 

Also your rangless, therefore switch laneless 

Now you brainless, dangerous, 'cause you pull out the stainless 

All of sudden you smart, now you do something hainess 

First time you get caught, now your ass is famous 

No longer chainless, and the bus switching lanes is a bad look 

Yo girl with ya man sellin' laneless, Stop 

Nigga rewind and reverese slides 3 times 

Reassess your thinking and trust me it'll be fine 

First pitcure your goal, and repeat 'It'll be mine' 

Or fuck it nigga, just keep imagine killin' me fine 

Now you, scruntching your face tryna ace attainment 

When you should be tryna find a place to base your shame, nigga 

Success is taingeable, don't wait for fame 

I thought you would receive it better if I ain't say ya name 

You unsure of yourself, sit still and think 

Review those actions if it fit, put your name in the blank 

[Chorus] 

Star Track, is who we are [x4]
