CeeLo Green - When We Were Friends lyrics

Hey, hey hey hey hey, hey hey heeey

Ooh ask me my nigga
The only one there that'll be my nigga
And I'm gon' finally be free my nigga
But, you don't have to follow me my nigga
Oh yeah it's still love my nigga
And I ain't gon' stop just because my nigga
?Daddy Paxson? always does my nigga
And always remember what it was my nigga


When we were friends
The days would begin and end
Went from boys to men, we boys 'til then
We know each other real
We know each other rules
And we wore each other's clothes
And each other's shoes
But in an instance, the days become distance
Your path doesn't go in the
Same direction his went
And can't help but be scared
Of the virtually unknown up ahead
(I heard what you said) but, I'll be fine
Whether it is favor or failure
It must be mine well he can stand still
If that's how that man feel
Cuz what can't can't and whatever can will
So I'm walking toward my future
With my back to it
Hoping you look up and see me
As a reason to do it
When you get grown it's a given
You damn near gotta do the
Same thing for a living

And my cousin I love him like
A son cause I was him
And he think his thuggin' please
S me but it doesn't
How could I applause it when I had caused it
But, if it's God's plan for him
I guess I ain't cost shit
For what I gave him - wasn't
So bad I couldn't save him
Either they'll enslave him or
A gun'll grave him
I still believe in him but
He think I'm leavin him
When I be busy he think I'm bob-n-weavin him
I probably sound like his daddy
But over the phone
Cause I ain't around - like his daddy
When we talk I wanna hear you be productive
Conversate for hours 'bout
Something constructive but it never come up
With all them niggas round your neck
You ain't gon' never come up
Maybe I'm jealous cause you love them more
Can't understand what you love them for
Don't get me wrong you know I love them too
But, you know who I always hold above them
You and it ain't nobody business
I'll just make believe that music
Can miraculously mend this
So I'll be a sound
And then you do your thing to
It and we mix it down
And make a song my nigga
Cause even when I'm away
I'll always be around
