Lyrics of 'Ill Mind Six: Old Friend' by Hopsin

I remember the first time you overdosed
A fuckin overload on meth
The paramedics saved yo ass
You was close to ghost
You never did know which road to go
Its like you rowed the boat and sailed away and hoped to hit the golden coast
But you sank like the Titanic
The incident had left your life damaged
And thats when I panicked
You thought you had it locked?
Well you ain't on the right planet
If you tryna live your life right, plan it
Its like your mind vanished
Ain't you'on't even know that
I wish that we could go back
Cuz 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're strange to mess with
I keep my distance cuz you always got this blank expression
Like you confused and unaware of your surroundings
Emotions are gone, and no ones found it
Its overwhelming
Yo mama told you that drugs are bad
But you ain't listen till the burned yo ass now you understand!

But you always look like you don't know me
And I'm mad at the world cuz the meth took away my homie
Gimme 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 shoulda 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 the shit was cool and it's the thing to do
Saying it would lift your mood and make you feel invincible
So you started skippin' school, hangin' with these wicked dudes
Unaware that when you got older you played the bigger fool!
And it's pitiful, where the fuck they at now?
In they mid twenties, passed out inside of a crack house
Back when you met 'em I had doubts
They put you on a bad route
And when you needed they help to pick you up, they fuckin' backed out!
They fuckin' got you, I can't lie
But now you're brains fried
You don't even act like you the same guy
Yo mama told you that drugs are bad
But you ain't listen till the fire burned yo ass now you understand!

But you always look like you don't know me
And I'm mad at the world cuz the meth took away my homie
Gimme 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 playin' Nintendo 64
And that Christmas in '97 we got new crispy boards
And we was doin' Ollie's in my kitchen on the slippy floors
Shit changed, and it happened quick
But I can't forget that you was the first homie I started rappin' wit
You coulda had half of this back when I had established it
But now I have to sit and feel bad
Look at what yo actions did
But you were so outgoing, and so hysterical
Seein' you now is just unbearable
It's terrible
You shoulda made yo choices wisely
Fuckin' with Poison Ivy
Without yo brain, please tell me, what would your point in life be?
It's a struggle to get yo 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 till the fire burned yo ass, now you understand

But you always look like you don't know me
And I'm mad at the world cuz the meth took away my homie
Gimme 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 you need a ride?
Looks like you're going downtown yes
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
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
