[Verse 1]
I got a friend that can only be called a blessing
I got a friend and we're currently on year seven
It's not gon end, know we permanent dawgs forever
I got a friend we get perfect along, it's heaven
Whenever we get a chance to chat, it's always wonderful
She's the biggest fan of that one, guess she love the flow
Memes on Instagram, the catalyst for what would grow
To be a precious friendship lasting through the struggles, yo
I got a group of friends I’ve known
Since high and middle school
When I was just a fool
Way too focused on trying looking cool
It's honestly embarrassing to reminisce
Cuz I didn't deserve no friends as swell as this
And we ain't kids no more, we getting older now
It's harder to find time to chill when schedules allow
Y'all ain't living quite as near
But still we're closest pals
Our bond is still alive and kicking, ain't no slowing down
[Chorus]
And I pinky promise I ain’t giving up yet
When it gets too hard and I been feeling upset
I just think about you all and I get up
Set my feet on the ground
Be strong for now
Feel awful down
But I know I got my friends to uplift me farther
So I pinky promise that I ain’t going nowhere
No, I ain’t going nowhere, yeah
[Verse 2]
I got a friend I used to have the biggest crush on
She used to be the subject of my love songs
I wouldn't say the love's gone
But now it's healthier, it's in another form
I'm glad we made it through the thunderstorm
I got a friend that I met through a shared obsession with JoJo
I shared a track that I wrote
Over flips of il vento d'oro
You sent me your Shakedown Road song
A parody from Jojolion
And nearly four years later
The western side of the ocean Atlantic
You landed in America visiting
My 23rd birthday had a terrible beginning
But you managed to turn it from unbearable predicament
To the best day of my life
Your presence was a gift and
Yeah that line is a little bit overused but
That doesn't really make it any less true
I'll say it in the mic like a test 1, and test 2
And test 3, my bestie’s what kept me from hell too early
[Chorus]
And I pinky promise I ain’t giving up yet
When it gets too hard and I been feeling upset
I just think about you all and I get up
Set my feet on the ground
Be strong for now
Feel awful down
But I know I got my friends to uplift me farther
So I pinky promise that I ain’t going nowhere
No, I ain’t going nowhere, yeah
[Verse 3]
I got two big sisters
Neither of em by blood
But I’d die for em ‘cause I love em
They’re diamonds up in the rough
I got a friend and half our conversations
Just us saying “true” and “real”
But when it gets real and I need a true friend
Then you was there
And how could I write a song about my best friends
Without my dearest one being mentioned
The first one that I message when I wake up
Last one when I go to bed
Yapping on the phone for ten hours telling jokes and then
When it’s time to get serious, we get serious
When it’s time to get silly, we get delirious
When it’s time to get crazy, we get delusional
Only thing I’m afraid of really is losing you
But I’ll always have faith that we’re getting through
Conversations with you put smiles on my face when I’m feeling blue
We’re so linked
Always on the same wavelength
We’re still in tune
I’m eternally grateful
Couldn’t make it here without you
Yeah
Yeah
[Chorus]
And I pinky promise I ain’t giving up yet
When it gets too hard and I been feeling upset
I just think about you all and I get up
Set my feet on the ground
Be strong for now
Feel awful down
But I know I got my friends to uplift me farther
So I pinky promise that I ain’t going nowhere
No, I ain’t going nowhere, yeah
[Outro]
And I just wanna say “I love you” to all my friends
To everybody I mentioned in here
To everybody I didn’t mention in here
Um
You’re all just so special to me
And I don’t know what I’d do without you all
So if you’re listening to this
Thank you
