I LOST FRIENDS TO GET HERERemix 10/30
- harrygotbeats
- [Intro –Smooth R&B |0:00–0:12]
- Yeah, yeah...
- Funny how the ones you love disappear,
- When you start chasing dreams instead of fear.
- I ain't changed, I just learned to see clear,
- Lost a couple friends just to make it here.
- [Chorus –Melodic R&B |0:12–0:36]
- I lost friends just to get where I'm at,
- Gave 'em my heart, never got nothing back.
- I was down bad, they ain't care about that,
- Now they see me rising, wanna double right back.
- Oh, I cried tears nobody could see,
- Had a whole crowd, still nobody with me.
- I lost friends, but I found who I'd be,
- Sometimes losing people sets your spirit free.
- [Verse 1 –Boom Bap Rap |0:36–1:08]
- Used to split my last dollar with the same crew,
- Now I walk past strangers that I once knew.
- Funny how loyalty can turn into lies,
- Had to learn the hard way through the pain in their eyes.
- I was there when their whole world fell,
- But when mine broke down, couldn't nobody tell.
- Phone stayed quiet when I needed that call,
- Had to build my own ladder when they watched me fall.
- Late nights, cold streets, headphones on,
- Writing down my pain till the sunrise dawned.
- Never asked for a crown, just a little respect,
- Now I'm chasing better days with no looking back.
- [Chorus –Soulful R&B |1:08–1:32]
- I lost friends just to get where I'm at,
- Gave 'em my heart, never got nothing back.
- I was down bad, they ain't care about that,
- Now they see me rising, wanna double right back.
- Oh, I cried tears nobody could see,
- Had a whole crowd, still nobody with me.
- I lost friends, but I found who I'd be,
- Sometimes losing people sets your spirit free.
- [Verse 2 –Emotional Boom Bap |1:32–2:04]
- I ain't bitter, I'm just wiser these days,
- Had to cut a few ties, find a better way.
- Some were only around when the good times stayed,
- When the rain came down, they all walked away.
- I remember those nights with my back to the wall,
- Everybody had a number, nobody picked up my call.
- Had to turn all the heartbreak into these songs,
- Had to figure out myself when it all went wrong.
- Now I'm standing on my own, got a clearer view,
- Ain't no hate in my heart, I just outgrew you.
- If I make it to the top, I won't laugh at your pain,
- I'll just thank you for the lessons that came with the rain.
- [Final Chorus –R&B |2:04–2:24]
- I lost friends just to get where I'm at,
- Had to lose a little love, ain't no taking it back.
- I was broken inside, had to heal those cracks,
- Now I'm moving toward the light, ain't no turning back.
- I lost friends, but I found my peace,
- All those heavy memories finally letting me breathe.
- I lost friends, but I found who I'd be,
- Sometimes losing people sets your spirit free.
- [Outro –Soft Soul |2:24–2:30]
- I ain't mad you disappeared...
- Just wish you could've made it here.
