Dear Friend Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sap]
Up there I hope the things are easy Mac
I search for peace and hope that time can bring me that
I worked this song to try to finally say what's right
No longer with us now the world just ain’t as bright
I never cried this much my whole adult life bro
I heard your voice say it'll be a'ight though
The world lost a legend, idol and a dear friend
You left behind some classic shit that will still spin
Forever ever we gonna carry on your legacy
Your soul and energy is making me a better me
You taught me confidence and even how to be myself
And let the youth know that it was okay if they needed help
We got our first hit together, we made history
When you dropped Best Day Ever, a wave instantly
You blew up, still came to my home in the 302

We hit the sushi spot with Ike, I tried the miso soup
I dropped my phone in it, now we sitting there just geeking
Sharing stories bout your crazy weekend
And started preaching, dropping gems
That’s how I knew you was for our people
It wasn't race class or status everyone was equal
Way too pure for the planet god dammit it hurts
I think about the shit some nights where I can't even work
But I know you would want me to stay hungry because that's what homies for
We all battle with our minds it's a lonely war
You's a soldier, put so much on your shoulders
I want to tell you thanks a lot for everything you showed us
I'm forever grateful I can call you a brother
I still feel the love you showering from above us

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
