This here is a record I wrote about friendship
The kind that X and Jaleel were talking about
When they wrote friends, how many of us have them?
I'm talking about friends, ones we can depend onI'm talking about a friend to the end
If I lose or I win, if my lou getting thin
(What's up)
You still my friend, down forever
(Hell, yeah)
Tougher than leather like Run and D
You and me together forever
(That's right)Let's say we balling
Somebody calling me out my name
(What's up?)

(Hell yeah)
Let's say we out somethin' go down
Five O around, you still around
(True dat)Ever since I was younger
Kind a always had a hunger for a fairy tale friend
(That's right)
Kind a like a brother, every time I go out
Every time I turn around, ain't gotta wonder aboutWhat the brother doing now
You been my friend from the beginning to end
We flowing to where we going 'cause Lord know
We done been through the storm before the calm
Life could drop a bomb 'cause Jazzy, we got a bond
Like we was in Vietnam, truss it
(Word up)Everybody need a partner to stand right by their side
Not only down through the good times
But also down through the bad timesEverybody need a partner to stand right by their side
Not only down through the good times
But also down through the bad timesAre you my lady? Are you my baby?
No ifs or maybes till pushing daisies

And if I need you

(Right here)
Death do us 'part
Through thick and thin
You got my heart
(Back at cha)Girl, when the nights cold, I'm warm holding the fact
That I got you holding my back
With my feelings stealing the blue of the sky leaving them grey
Girl, you the sun to brighten up my dayWhen it seem like the hill to steep and my vision getting blurry
Call on you my dove be there in a hurry
When all is gone wrong and I can't go on you
My angel immortalized in song baby foreverEverybody need a partner to stand right by their side
Not only down through the good times
But also down through the bad timesEverybody need a partner to stand right by their side
Not only down through the good times
But also down through the bad timesAiight what we about to do right now
We about to take the partners oath
So wherever you at put your right hand in the air
We gonna pledge allegiance to our partners right nowY'all my peoples, y'all my dogs
In the sun, through the fog
If I'm wrong tell me the truth
But if they wrong, we blow the roof
(Ooh yeah)Share smiles, share tears
Lean on you, ease my fears
To the end from the start
Minus the cream
