Best friends We used to talk a lot and all that In hindsight I was white and he was all black We were different and I guess that's why we gelled together Great minds think alike and so we thought forever But time passes And different urges arises We were in the same class but we were two different classes While I was getting ridiculed for having bogus trousеrs Man was doing good and had all of the swagger He used to defend me when I was getting bullied And had my back when everybody used to call me stupid He was like a big brother, who pushed me when I couldn't I looked up to him, a sensei and I was the student And my mom knew his mum and she was cool too Devout Christians so they passed it unto us too But he never knew his dad and was intrigued by mine I always if wondered if he thought about it all the time But not for long, my mind would wander Maybe if the boy was just a little taller Or if my mom would let me fly shirt and raise my collar Or if she let me stay out longer in my early days Then I would make some ground and catch up to him every day The gap was getting bigger And Jeffery started changing I wondered if it was true or I was just overthinking Or I was jealous of the new friends that he was making Or even worse, what if they were replacements The more I made attempts the more I pushed him far away I let him be for a moment and then I tried again He finally let me in but now he was a different person I found drugs in drawer the least I was expecting At first, I kept it a secret but then I let him know, why he doing things that he swore to himself he'd never do He got mad and kicked me out And I regretted being stern and that's the story how we never spoke again I missed him but I got over it 15 years had passed since I last spoke a word to him Can't deny he came into my mind every now then But nothing too concrete had to deal with my own biz Not millionaire status but at least I had a few things Have enough for wife and my 2 kids And I look after my mom and my dad too In my heart remained the words from the bible While Jeffrey had it all, his Instagram was lit He had the money and the cars plus shoes to match it with He probably made it everywhere, except his mamas' crib Cuz he don't like it when she try to talk some sense in him No one does I imagine Especially when you're blinded by selective programming Even worse, his mother didn't know what to do And then she thought, maybe I could get him through I agreed cuz she was desperate Hit em up me brrr, the dial tone had me stressed - he finally answered Before I knew it an hour had passed of reminiscing Old inside jokes - you know - and had a laugh on how we starting to get old Then I asked him bout his Lambo, he said bro can I be honest He got it as a rental to show off that he about it He told me he was broke and all he wanted was his old life But now he's 32, and how's he supposed to go back He talked about how his daddy issues And his mother who was there he's probably pushed away When I left his house he thought about me every day I was shook even more what he was bout to say Said he looked up to me He tried to be like me, but I was too far to touch to him And when I went to church every time he'd want to come with me He caved in to his new friends And his pride plus their advice made him a new being I let him know, that it's never too late You can always come back home my g
