Rapsody - Dear Friends lyrics

Shouts to Wu-Chambers tony Touch
My homegirl Molly
Evil Dee, Statik Selektah, y'all
Geechi Suede rah Diggafreeway!

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

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 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

Big Homie Nottz, Royal Flush, Vitamin D
Homie Laws
Chocolate Boy Lover Pete, Skyzoo, Evidence
West Side Murs
Told me a single black diamond
I’mma shine bright
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 at shows
Just like Marsha Am
Ferocious and notice watching my brother Taye
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 Premier
Miss Erykah Badu, Dirty Dru
3-point Grant Hill yo, what’s up Norah Smith
Vitamin D, big homie Torry 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 Jean story
So I don’t waste a day
Just like the kid Daytona
I keep it sizzlin hot
The world is cold pneumonia
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

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

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

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
