Yeah I used to have a lotta friends but I lost 'em 'Cause they went to prison or ended up in a coffin A couple of them thought military was really awesome Till they signed up never knowing it would cost 'em Ain't enough talking for me to even find the words So I get lost in my thoughts and I grind the herb They say the good die young and this life's absurd I'm sick and tired of the bullshit that I just heard I wish I could get back to the (good old days, good old days) When the only thing I had to worry 'bout was remembering to (look both ways, look both ways) Before crossing the street Walk to the store for a sweet Smoke it all till I'm coughing and falling asleep Got a heart full of something, they all on repeat I'm ignoring the darkness that's following me How can it be, I'm feeling so alone I took a whole week just to do a fucking song I try to do right but I'm always doing wrong So I pick up a lighter and put some weed in the bong Write a message on my phone and I'll never send that 'Cause it's one of the homies that ain't able to hit back If I had the time and the money I would spend that Just so I could get all of my motherfucking friends back Hello, is anybody here? 'Cause I feel like nobody cares Loneliness has got me scared I feel like I'm not prepared So I take a deep breath to relieve the stress And then dry my eyes, put head to the sky I would be telling you a lie If I said grown men don't cry Man, I just want my friends back The ones gone overseas And ones gone from ODs Man, I just want my friends back I wanna sit back in those trees With a couple of the real OGs Man, I just want my friends back, friends back Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back If you hear an issue, feel me 'Cause all that I really got is me I got a couple old friends and I think about 'em often Some are still alive and some are chilling in a coffin The thought of it is honestly the part hat's so exhausting 'Cause all I ever wanted was to figure out our problems We've had a lot of disagreements over petty shit Then life got in the way and somehow we seem to let it slip The blessing is I see that you got kids and a wedding ring I bet they're all grown up now, send me pics And even though we both struggled through the pain No matter what I made sure that my number never changed I know as we get older it's like nothing is the same But remember when we said that we'd be brothers to the grave It's kinda crazy how this lifestyle is But I never expected it to be quite like this I'm doing good, I got a wife, no kids Doc told us when she's pregnant that she might birth twins Anyways, I just hope this song reaches you The other night I had this weird dream I got to speak to you I woke up and realized that I gotta see this through Remember all the good times when it was just me and you Man, I just want my friends back The ones gone overseas And ones gone from ODs Man, I just want my friends back I wanna sit back in those trees With a couple of the real OGs Man, I just want my friends back, friends back Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back Man, I just want my friends back, friends back, friends back If you hear an issue, feel me 'Cause all that I really got is me Man, I just want my friends back
