[Intro/Hook]: (Thank you for being a friend…)
(Thank you for being a friend…)

(Thank you for being a friend…)

[Verse One]: Blood don’t make family, it’s the bonds that we keep, and it’s the people we meet, and it’s the way that we greet.
This is for my road dogg, my bro, negro, for life, B.Allen, Brice Allen, you know we stay tight.
20-01 is where the story began, made a brand new friend, we was on our young man.
Some lame guys, video games on the weekends, he was on the offense, I was on the defense.
Stinking up the joint, I knew I couldn’t compete, he couldn’t really be beat, with the chicks we now seek.
Clowning and chilling, wasn’t social at all, now, we hittin the mall and just laughing till we ball/bawl.
Singing and dancing and then, we was just jamming, from the music we watched to the food we was slamming.
Went from some bums, to just rhyming in tongues, from no 9 to 5s, now it’s hi-hats and drums (c’mon!)

[Hook]: (Thank you for being a friend…) Ended up as brothers, but we started as friends.
(Thank you for being a friend…) Traveled down the road and we in it till the end.
(Thank you for being a friend…) Ended up as brothers, but we started as friends.
(Thank you for being a friend…) Traveled down the road, and we back at it again.

[Verse Two]: Spent nights getting advice about the ladies, listened to your words, man, I thought you was crazy.
(Laughs) I still do, but I know you mean well, (man…!) it’s all swell, but you be giving me hell.
I guess that’s you, and that’s alright, we just clowning all the time, nothing else ain’t right.
Roasting and boasting, then it’s toasting and coasting, we be rocking and rolling, you be chilling and smoking.
Scattered thoughts, but you be in your zone, but now, we all grown, so now, the world we roam.
Where we gonna take it next? Vegas? Miami? Somewhere we can go where we defy gravity?
Reaching for the heights that we talked about reaching, that we talked about achieving, never ever stopped believing.
Some rapper guys, on that suit and tie, where the people know our name, looking dapper, looking fly.

[Verse Three: With the good comes the bad, and the best comes to worst, and we both had some times where we was blessed and just cursed.
Your heart attack happened, had me shook for awhile, thought Soul Of Swag was gonna be Soul with no Style.
Can’t wile without my road dogg, clown without my bro, ain’t the same if you wasn’t rollin’ on this road.
My life would be so different, things not so the same, on my Carlton tip, not hip, just lame.
Can’t imagine my life without big bro around, we done came too far for some shit to go down.
Arguments and fights, subtweets and such, rocking since ’01, they say it’s really too much.
We always bounce back, stupidness and silliness, looking at the two of us, they’d say it was a silly mess.
It’s whatever, might never understand, S.O.S. the brotherhood, forever till the end.
