Ill Mind Six: Old Friend

I remember the first time you overdosed

A fucking overload on meth, paramedics saved your ass, you was close to ghost

You never did know which road to go

It’s like you rode the boat and sailed away and hoped to hit the golden coast

But you sank like the Titanic

The incident, it left your life damaged, and that’s when I panicked

You thought you had it locked,

well you ain’t on the right planet

If you’re trying to live your life right, plan it

It’s like your mind vanished, you don’t even know that

I wish that we could go back,

cause it’s so sad when I tell jokes and you don’t laugh

Like you used to, I really hate to stress it, but you strange to mess with

So I keep my distance, cause you always got this blank expression

Like you’re confused and unaware of your surroundings

Emotions have gone and no one’s found it,

it’s overwhelming

Your momma told you that drugs are bad

But you ain’t listen ’til the fire burned your ass,

now you understand

Now you always look like you don’t know me

And I’m mad at the world cause the meth took away my homie

(Give me back my homie, please come home)

I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to

(Where’d you go?)

I never would’ve thought my best friend would be gone in the future

But I was wrong

I should’ve stopped you when I had the chance to do so

But back then I had felt like that was too bold

You started hanging with new folks,

and made the drug environment your new home

This world is too cold, could I have prevented this?

Who knows?

They convinced you that this shit was cool and hip to do

Saying it would lift your mood and make you feel invincible

So you started skipping school,

hanging with these wicked dudes

Unaware that when you got older you played a bigger fool

And it’s pitiful, where the fuck they at now?

In they mid-20s passed out inside of a crack house

Back when you met them I had doubts, they put you on the bad route

And when you needed they help to pick you up,

they fucking backed out

They fucking got you, I can’t lie

But now your brain’s fried

and you don’t even act like you’re the same guy

Your momma told you that drugs are bad

But you ain’t listen ’til the fire burned your ass,

now you understand

Now you always look like you don’t know me

And I’m mad at the world cause the meth took away my homie

(Give me back my homie, please come home)

I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to

(Where’d you go?)

I never would’ve thought my best friend would be gone in the future

But I was wrong

I ain’t never felt this shit before, it gets me sore

I reminisce on us playing Nintendo 64

And that Christmas in ’97 we got new crispy boards

And we was doing ollies in my kitchen on the slippery floor

Shit changed and it happened quick

But I can’t forget that you was the first homie I started rapping with

You could’ve had half of this back when I had established it

But now I have to sit and feel bad, look what your actions did

Man you were so outgoing and so hysterical

Seeing you now is just unbearable,

it’s terrible

You should’ve made your choices wisely,

fucking with poison ivy,

Without your brain please tell me what would your point in life be?

It’s a struggle to get your ass to listen

You really hurt me and the rest of your family with all your bad decisions

We always told you that drugs are bad

But you ain’t listen ’til the fire burned your ass,

now you understand

Now you always look like you don’t know me

And I’m mad at the world cause the meth took away my homie

(Give me back my homie, please come home)

I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to

(Where’d you go?)

I never would’ve thought my best friend would be gone in the future

But I was wrong

Excuse me do ya need a ride? Looks like you’re going downtown

Yes, hop in my ride, well hi, I’m Chris Dolmeth

I’m your best friend (Chris Dolmeth)

I’m all you need (Chris Dolmeth)

If you wanna succeed, hop in my ride

Well hi I’m Chris Dolmeth
