Lyrics Strong Friend - Royce da 5'9"

Reflections of your strong friend
You need to check up on your strong friend
Nobody ever checks up on your strong friend
Uh, strong friend

I remember 2003, I hear screaming we next
I was gripping that 300, rocking Lexus GS
I put rhymestones on my du-rag, I put on leather pants
I went to partys just for bacardi
I tricked I never danced
All my friends expected to be treated just as my next of kin
Eyebrows lift up if I'm out with them and let them spin

The question is, how is y'all problems becoming my problems?
I'm already hiding all of my problems behind my pap problems
When I was nine, seen my father beat the shit out of my momma
I'm smiling right now, I'm trying not to cry about them
Alcoholic, I just spent five thousand tryna' pop bottles
A Patron again, now sing along with your strongest friend

Suicide is a suicide
Suicide is a suicide
Suicide is a suicide
Suicide is a suicide

You need to check up on your strong friend
The one with strength that's never gon' end
The one with sense, take care of several grown men
Pay the rent and then they trade on him
The devil play to win
I remember I had my ear canbal in my Mercedes Benz
You probably thought she gave in to the plot of saving sin
She got demons greater than, you and I
And this message is to Denaun and Shady
You say we're friends?

Well, take care of Lyric, 80 and baby Quinn like they Hailie then
This shit is my funeral, ya'll should play on my songs too
Hope my body look beautiful, while I lay in my strong suit
Rumours spread about me that ain't true
That's how the fake do
If I'm the strong friend, then what the fuck do that make you?

Check up on your strong friend, uh
It's funny, they laugh at me because I'm different
But I laugh at them because they're all the same

Kurt Cobain:
"We're all just suicidal kids telling
other suicidal kids suicide ain't the answer."

Kendrick Lamar:
The worst thing to call somebody is crazy, it's dismissive
I don't understand this person so he's crazy.
That's bullshit these people are not crazy, they strong people
maybe their environment is a little sick.

Dave Chapelle:
Black people don't know a goddamn thing about therapy

Self, Capital Steez, Ty Him,
Chester Benington, rest in peace my strong friends
