Kirk Knight, Thundercat, Noname - Dead Friends lyrics

Every time I feel alive I
Think about dead friends
The rest is just dead to me
Sleeping couch to couch just to find a way in
Living on my own now, ayy
Living on my own now, ayy
Living on my own now, ayy

And the truth is over-ridiculed
Verdict never human
But something more spiritual
But put it through the physical
It's enemies and animals
And generalist Hannibals
And gotta be acceptables
I never took the corners
I was way more diagonal, corner power
With the power that he held
In the streets so intangible
Look up to the kin
Know the color of the skin
More like a correlation with
The nature that's within
Told everybody I was related to him
Big homie that is, blaze one up to this
I was in a battlefield
With the neutralist grounds
He was born on the wrong
Side of the gun sound
Intentions, never knew
Never seen him pull a trigger
But I knew when he came around
He never show that figure
But the gang signs around him
Always gonna make him think of
Better ways of living life
Let me show this little nigga
Change directions, reach a popular view
Don't be a knucklehead on Crooks Avenue
Don't be like me, nigga
Fight for your dreams
I know you do music that
Will bring your needs
Left my comfort zone for two years now
Working on career now
Then you heard news of the same child
'Cause I'm around you, lost hope
But I made it possible, take your advice
Bro, I heard you paint well
Dope, don't do the block, nigga
Keep doing you
My outlet growing bigger, I support too
You did me a favor and I made the move
Now I'm a star (Now I'm a star)
Least I could do is just pay all my dues
News just in, another fallen angel
The world is so cruel, my heart turn in two

Every time I feel alive I
Think about dead friends (Dead friends)
The rest is just dead to me (Dead to me)
Sleeping couch to couch just to find a way in
(Way in) living on my own now, ayy
Living on my own now, ayy
Living on my own now, ayy
Every time I feel alive I
Think about dead friends
The rest is just dead to me
Sleeping couch to couch just to find a way in
Living on my own now, ayy
Living on my own now, ayy
Living on my own now, ayy

Uh i was partially standin' beside him when
They parted the Red Sea
See the blood on the hydrant and
The leaves like 'Ye said they dead, funeral
Newspaper like a brand new obituary
Rapping my contemporaries
I ain't gotta think about it
I dreamt about it what's a
Demon to a ghetto now?
Move around, heard a couple
Shots in my solitude, hallelu'
Went right past, that's what God'll do
They found nutritional value at the
Base of my conscious
It taste like peaches, no nonsense
No Noname, no tickets for purchase
My market was marketing Gypsy
For prophet or profit
'Cause everybody speaks truth
(Everybody speaks truth)
Believe in your words, believe in yourself
The things we dream about
And let them feed you

Living on my own now living on my own now
Living on my own now living on my own now
