Friend Indeed Lyrics by LADIPOE
The rate at which your life has been moving this past years
Should have you think about your future don’t just stand there
But you’ve been stepping on the brakes my broda for goodness sakes
I can tell the moment’s close if you sign here
Yeah
See what you never think about is why I really do this
Over here nothing like therapy that’s why it’s therapeutic
To put it all in the metaphors, document the movement
How we went from shorts and pinafores to making our own music
E sweet to blow but it feels so prostituted
Plus my lyrics aren’t basic can’t dilute it
Just to be accepted I refuse it
Are these bad reasons or just really good excuses
I see your fears I know you hate to fail
Like you want to be a star but it’s humanity for sale
Feel my every word as though I’ve written it in braille
Take hold of your dreams and exhale
Let me be o, let me be
Friend indeed won’t let me eat
Tried to think can’t get no sleep
Maybe till I rest in peace
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah
I see the flames flicker when I look into your eyes
So many will hold on when they know you’re on the rise
They said it couldn’t be done, but maybe they never tried
And maybe that negativity is simply just a disguise
Is it jealously in their eyes
Where we come from living’s a synonym for survive
Now I’m wondering if my salary’s blood money
Because of all the dreams I’ve needed to sacrifice
Maybe I’m just living in a fantasy
What is about personality
Ever had your dreams ripped by members of our family
Who had their aspirations never turned into reality
These viscous cycles never have the right to hold us back
Or keep us reminiscing about the chances that we sort of had
That’s the truth only life can teach you that
I’m talking to myself again I needed that
Let me be o, let me be
Friend indeed won’t let me eat
Tried to think can’t get no sleep
Maybe till I rest in peace
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah
