Friends

Why can't we just be friends?
Why we always gotta fight?
Why we always gotta focus on that dark?
Instead of following the light?
Why can't we just be cool? (why can't we just be cool?)
'Cause of the end of the night? ('Cause of the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences
But that's alright (that's alright, yeah)

I've been trying to find the light
That sunny side of life
Trying to find a vibe in these life and times
But all I find's a fight
See everybody got they views lit
It's a world of dynamite
But when you scrapping over that whole pot
There's no time to find a slice

I took my time to find a bite (mm)
That food taste good
They'll take a seat at my table
Just like I knew they would
No bakery up in my kitchen
So just save that shit
'Cause we just here to give thanks
Get the bread, and break that shit
So listen take a minute please
Light one, take a hit, and breathe
Come to terms within yourself
That it's okay to disagree
Y'all know people gone be people
They gone label what they see
But I'll break your label maker
If you hanging out with me

Just be cool, just be civil
Just relax, just a little
You could be on the left or the right
And come chill with me in the middle
Either way, make amends
Shake a hand, make a friend
'Cause who else gone have your back up in the end

Why can't we just be friends? (why can't we just be friends?)
Why we always gotta fight? (why we always gotta fight?)
Why we always gotta focus on that dark?
Instead of following the light? (yeah, yeah)
Why can't we just be cool? (why can't we just be cool)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences
But that's alright (that's alright, yeah)

We all don't get along soon, shit, I'ma be real
We all are doomed
Read the room
If we gone stay divided, I can only assume
That this world will only get darker as we go
Farther into this rabbit hole
Round and round on this merry-go
With no common ground to just
Grab a hold of this polarization
All over the nation
Communication
At an all time low as a population
No cooperation
Misinformation
All over your stations
And they don't
Want conversation
'Cause they know that that right
There is the foundation
Of love
And once we realize that, the whole game is done
That power that they hold over us, with unity, We take it from
Don't got a friend?
Start making some
'Cause all we got is each other
As the rich get richer and the bad guys win
Gotta put our faith in a brother
Or in a sister, or in a them or they
'Cause honestly yo, at the end of the day
We on the same team
I'm just giving the premise to play
'Cause life is crazy enough
Let's find a better way
Go spread some love, go make a friend and say

Why can't we just be friends? (why can't we just be friends?)
Why we always gotta fight? (why we always gotta fight?)
Why we always gotta focus on that dark?
Instead of following the light? (yeah, yeah)
Why can't we just be cool? (why can't we just be cool)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences
But that's alright (that's alright, yeah)
