Stick Together

Bro you could count on me then
And even if we never meet again
You're my friend and will be til the end
Cuz friends stick together til the end, til the end
Friend ends with e-n-d
That spells end, which means
That friends stick together til the end
Yeah, friends stick together til the end, til the end, til the end

Yo homie this here's just a checkup call
Cuz its been months since we last saw
Each other or talked for real- like since last fall
Which is way too long to have been withdrawn
From each other cuz we've been bros since age five
And helped each other get through life
Cuz when it seemed hard we'd sit and write
And vent out our thoughts and call them rhymes
And then we'd share them with each other
And be like, "dawg that's sick brother
When you grow up you should be a rapper
And wouldn't it be sick if we were rappers together"
Man those were the good old days
When everyday we'd always stay
Outside and ride bikes or play ball
Which is exactly what we did every single day

Bro you could count on me then
And even if we never meet again
You're my friend and will be til the end
Cuz friends stick together til the end, til the end
Friend ends with e-n-d
That spells end, which means
That friends stick together til the end
Yeah, friends stick together til the end, til the end, til the end

It's been a year since I wrote that letter
Called Find Yourself and I hope yer doin better
Fifteen now since I first wrote this letter
And the reality is you're not doing better
Fifteen years ago more of the same
In n Out of jail like a burger chain
Struggles for sobriety warring on in your brain
Apathetic to the question if God knows your name
Hating the letters from your homie - yeah, they're too preachy
"Chill out bro, you overreaching"
Never stated explicitly but I could still see
That you wanted others' approval more than me
So I broke my own promise and we grew apart
But I mean the following from the depths of my heart
I'm only a phone call away for a start
And God has the power to heal your heart

Bro you could count on me then
And even if we never meet again
You're my friend and will be til the end
Cuz friends stick together til the end, til the end
Friend ends with e-n-d
That spells end, which means
That friends stick together til the end
Yeah, friends stick together til the end, til the end, til the end

Back to the old lyrics - bro, I'll be there
Tho while God's omnipresent I could be elsewhere
Just leave a message on my phone and I swear
I'll call you back cuz bro it wouldn't be fair
To say I'm here but not really be around
That'd be like tossing your rhymes down on the ground
a really low blow that would make you frown
Cuz tho we useda joke, that ain't the way to clown
I miss our old times doin stupid stuff
Stupid stuff that never got old enough
Cuz we would joke about all that stuff
Homie, I swear this letter ain't a bluff
I miss you man, and I have since tenth grade
Cuz that was when you first fell away
Know that I keep you in mind when I pray
And hope that we can chill again someday

Bro you could count on me then
And even if we never meet again
You're my friend and will be til the end
Cuz friends stick together til the end, til the end
Friend ends with e-n-d
That spells end, which means
That friends stick together til the end
Yeah, friends stick together til the end, til the end, til the end
Bro you could count on me then
And even if we never meet again
You're my friend and will be til the end
Cuz friends stick together til the end, til the end
Friend ends with e-n-d
That spells end, which means
That friends stick together til the end
Yeah, friends stick together til the end, til the end, til the end
