Rapsody - Dear Friends lyrics

rate me

Shouts to Wu chambers

Tony Touch

My homegirl Molly

Evil Dee, Static Selector, ya all! Geechy Sway

Rah Digga...Freeway!

Chorus:

They turned the music way up for Jamla 9th Wonder, me

I learned that they were all listening from Ali Shaheed

One time the industry friends I’ve learned so much from

And those who went up outta they way to show me some love

Verse 1

I learned to have fun and rap for Mac Miller

That’s powerful truth, I share it like Godzilla

I share my favorite MC with my rapper brother Kendrick

We are children of Jigga, we’ve studied all his style lyrics

That’s the bomb

Put the emotions in your songs, take me back to

Carolina & them farms I grew up on

crickets and stars now they calling me the same

Saying that I’m not [far?]

Raekwon, I told ‘em explain

They Call Me Buts, Royal Flash, Vitamin D, Homie Lost

Chocolate Boy Lover Pete, Ska Zoo, evidence, West Side Merge

Told me a single black diamond I’mma shine rbight

I learned that ain’t supposed to be easy like Gibb's llife

So in the studio bright lady I’ll be going HAM

And still get butterflies to shows just like Marshall M.

Ferocious and notice watching my brother take

No matter what they say, they always come back for the bass

Shout to Phil, like day like him I go 368

Overtime with music if we’re talking 'nother year & day

Black Milk, DJ Premiere

Miss Erykah Badu, Dirty Dru, Grant Hill

Yo, what’s up Norah Smith

Vitamin D, big homie Tori Holt

And my man Jeff Kimple

One time for Coolie Jamla ... they always there for me

I learned that life is short writin' out the [Jane?] story

So I don’t waste a day, just like the kid Daytona

I keep it sizzlin hot, the world is cold [in mornin?]

And I ain’t been well, sick, don't ever call me Jonah

Estelle taught me to think and they made a stronger woman

When some doubted me, said I wouldn't amount to be

What more can I say now like Guru doing for Jigga Z

Chorus:

They turned the music way up for Jamla 9th Wonder, me

I learned that they were all listening from Ali Shaheed

One time the industry friends I’ve learned so much from

And those who went up outta they way to show me some love

Verse 2

Yung and Wale, 'ppreciate what you did up in DC

And J. Cole taught me four quarters to buy your big dream

No matter position long as you on the team

Everybody time come, just like Big Daddy Kane

King, splittin' the stage, fans screaming your name

God knows for really I do want the same

Left side, right side, back and front row

Imagination take me there just like Ono

I see it all, to be it all, that’s for everything

Peace to everyone I know who shared a similar dream

Chorus: (x2)

They turned the music way up for Jamla 9th Wonder, me

I learned that they were all listening from Ali Shaheed

Oen time the industry friends I’ve learned so much from

And those who went up outta they way to show me some love

Show me some love (fade out)
