My Best Friend - Tyrese/Ludacris/The Roots

I would do anything in these streets to keep you here

Let's go

All the many days you were on my mind

(Here in my life just you and I)

Visions of me with you all the time

I'll do whatever puts a smile on my baby's face

(Here in my life just you and I)

You're my best friend and you can never be replaced

I'm on that homicide suicide drama like Islamabad

Under God going overboard like the Amastade

Ringing bells looking funny 2012 back in '95

I made it out alive Now finally I've arrived

But still threw back to all my other blue black people

That's stickin' to it like mice to a glue trap

My work speak for itself so I don't interrupt

I am an expert this is no beginners luck

If you denying the truth then I don't give a f**k

Otherwise put your hands and ya' antennas up

As we go into our initial decent

I'm alive but only fifty percent

I'm praying God give me the strength

It seems somebody turned on the lights

It seems somebody started a fight

And I feel so alive Finally I realize

And I don't have to tell myself twice

I know that you've changed my whole life

And if I know there's one thing that's the truth

I know I'd be lost if I lost you

They say tomorrow's not promised today

But today I promise

If we don't make our own way

Somebody'll take it from us

Snatch it like rats to cheese So Lord help me please

'Cause I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees

Livin' like I'm bulletproof

Cockin' the glock then aim and shoot

My future's Everclear – 180 proof

So I open the bottle then swallow

My pride and drink the pain away

I take shots and just lay up then fade away

Dreaming of better days Dreaming of better pay

But we got our work cut out for us so we better pray

Pray to uphold the weak not for eternal sleep

But if I die I pray the Lord my soul to keep

It seems somebody turned on the lights

It seems somebody started a fight

And I feel so alive Finally I realize

And I don't have to tell myself twice

I know that you've changed my whole life

And if I know there's one thing that's the truth

I know I'd be lost if I lost you

You can never be replaced
