lyrics
(intro)
Friends come, friends go
Melt like the butter and they fall like snow
And I was always there if you were calling on the phone
There to pick you up when you were falling on your nose
(Hook)
Ugh, yeah smooth like butter
Raise a toast to my brothers never made it out the gutter
Ugh yeah, move like rubber
Cause the way we bounce back can’t loose my brother
Can’t loose my brother
Cause the streets so dark
No more feelings when I loose my heart
No more ceilings when I get my chance
And I get my freedoms when I leave what’s - passed
(verse 1)
You got a problem you hide it
For nothing in life you excited
There’s never the love it’s just violence
And with anything good there’s just silence
Riding, down another route that you just never wanna be tho
given the shot but you were missing on the free throw
Picking the lock because you never had the keys nope
Still on the block because you waiting wanna see hope
And we came from the same place,
I been working on myself and you were working just to make change
Fall in trouble never take blame
Writing to the lawyer cause you never on the same page
And I’m hoping that you really go the distance
Fighting in the ring and when I ring I hope you listen
know I’m moving on and all my brothers know I miss em
Going the to days when we were drinking in that kitchen
(hook)
Ugh, yeah smooth like butter
Raise a toast to my brothers never made it out the gutter
Ugh yeah, move like rubber
Cause the way we bounce back can’t loose my brother
Can’t loose my brother
Cause the streets so dark
No more feelings when I loose my heart
No more ceilings when I get my chance
And I get my freedoms when I leave what’s - passed
(verse 2)
Ugh yeah, never was a snitch
When I was running in the gutter and got covered in a ditch
And every shot I threw would be coming through as a miss
But this I what you get when you were running with a clique
didn’t want it as i did, I go to London with a chick
North side brother, with a cousin in the diff
I only loved my mothers need no other when I’m sick
Cause every other soul is causing trouble where I live
No trouble with a chick I said there’s dozens I can pick
Diamond in the rough straight through the rubble that I kick
A mate of mine he stumble now in trouble with a kid
Did he really want a baby I still wonder if he did
I wonder if it did, make him get low
hurdle in our path that always tries to get us slow
always there if he needed a little guidance
Another ear to listen when all you can hear is silence
Silence, no words
Came through when I seen another hearse
You were having trouble and it put you in the dirt
I was always bout myself I really should’ve put you first
Friends come, friends go
Melt like the butter and they fall like snow
And I was always there if you were calling on the phone
There to pick you up when you were falling on your nose
(hook)
Ugh, yeah smooth like butter
Raise a toast to my brothers never made it out the gutter
Ugh yeah, move like rubber
Cause the way we bounce back can’t loose my brother
Can’t loose my brother
Cause the streets so dark
No more feelings when I loose my heart
No more ceilings when I get my chance
And I get my freedoms when I leave what’s - passed
