My Old Friend

You always had a man, I always had a girl

You were back in the town, and I was touring round the world

Me, Keith and Mark Stretch, always reppin' the West

I remember coming back home to the bay and saw you rockin' that dress

Sitting on a bench with my headphones, my current state

Peepin' old flicks on this throwback Thursday

Reminiscing on the love that we learned to make

Missing you, I want you back like a vertebrae

I've always been an angel with a dirty face

You've always been special as a 38

Wasn't looking for a partner in the first place

Used to see you roll around the lake in them purple skates

Didn't speak for some weeks, but it was worth the wait

Heavy breathing and the blood gon' circulate

Plant seeds till the heart gon' germinate

Whisper a year until the pheromones permeate

Is it lust and love, or is it chemistry

Serendipitous, you bring out the best in me

Eventually, I know that everything must end

But you and me ain't never gon' be just friends

My old friend

I know that it's been a very long, long time

I'm just checking in cause you were on my mind

You ain't never left my mind

You ain't never left my mind

You ain't never left my heart and mind

We back again like a drum loop

And it don't take a pet detective or a gumshoe

To see I'm stuck on the syllables, your buttons

The way you move your body makes me wanna get my cut on

I feel snared when we kick it light

My bassline is a different vibe

When you swing by distortion takes a decline

I remind you take it to the top like a rewind

It's not a little thing, baby, skip the small talk

I'm looking for the green light like a crosswalk

No need to decode, I'm back up off of the road

And shooters gon' shoot, so let me get a reload

I desire to conspire against the recode

Opportunity knockin, check the peephole

No rules, so you don't have to play the matador

Mad at your home, well, welcome to the depot
