Best Friend - Akir

Yo, survival is a gamble, so I’ll bet my life on

A scramble, refuse to take the role of a sambo watching

Niggas get trampled, cops playing they’re Rambo

Handle my position like a nigga out of prison, see

The world into shambles like a gun spitting in a crowd

Subtle, I’ll move humble, though my effect is loud

Trouble?

I’ll use muscle.

My teacher’s well-endowed

Switching style, math for the street, science to teach a child

And my alliance is among the most defying.

I ain’t

Lying, I ain’t eyeing.

My people headed to Zion in a

Benz tinted—can't see through the percentage on a

Road to riches.

Won’t stop until we finish

Exhibit the skills and do it and spit it like boundless fluid

Drink it up—it's therapeutic, it burns, but you’ll get used to it

I’ll hold my head so I don’t lose it.

And pain is

Far, pursuing, but, close to me, my best friend is always music

Ayyo, my best friend is music, the sheets are the street

The pen is my game and the beat is my heat (This is real life music)

Uh, scripts I’ll flip expose the shift that con-

-tradicts our chosen gifts.

Emcees, hold your shit

There’s little seeds that live and breathe, grow up and

Believe in what you preach on your latest CD.

If it ain’t

Real, then it ain’t right.

There’s no appeal and

You ain’t tight.

The smoothest takeover that you ever

Seen in your life.

It’s over, soldier.

You sold

Your soul to a cobra playing Poker with Jehovah

To get closer to an extra breath hit, was it worth the effort?

In current depth, which means you turn to step and fetch it.

Chained

To a platinum plaque, but your LP’s wack.

You can’t

Go forward, nigga, without giving back, and so

My best friend is music and these sheets are the street

The pen is my game and the beat is my heat

So this is real life music, pump like the heartbeat

Like my niggas' footsteps on the concrete

Ayyo, my best friend is music, the sheets are the street

The pen is my game and the beat is my heat (This is real life music)

Yo, this is real life.

Nah’mean?

We gon' take it back to the essence of what it

means to really be an emcee and reflect the things around you.

There’s trials

and tribulations out there that could be focused on.

And these everyday

struggles that this common man that buys your cassette, CD, record has to

listen to to help him through his journeys in life.

Figure out what your plan

is, man, and focus, get back to where you come from.
