One thing you gotta know, you gotta have some soldiers wit’cha, man, to make it through this
[Chorus]
This for my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
These my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
[Verse 1]
These my real partners that never fake
You call ‘em up for help today, they show up yesterday
Right or wrong, they got your back and they ain’t never cappin’
They see you fightin’, they start fightin’, they don’t even know what happened
See these the ones that you can hit up when you need to borrow
They’ll be down with me if this rap thing play out tomorrow
They’ll roll up with you when it’s time to air some drama out
You know you real if you can bring ‘em to your mama’s house
Some of ‘em I’ve been knowin’ since I was a little dude
Acting a fool, see we was cool way back in middle school
I gots to give my family props, I can’t drop it plainer
No matter what they in your corner like a boxing trainer
They never acted brand new and never tried to clown
Never pushed up on my woman if I’m out of town
They hear somebody talkin’ ‘bout you, they gon’ check ‘em fast
And when it’s on, they comin’ full blast, no questions asked
Check this out
[Chorus]
This for my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
These my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
[Verse 2]
Might not see my homies everyday but still the same
Years in the game, they can call you by your real name
We hood-certified, crazy how the struggle made us
We get into it then be right back cool a hour later
If money made then we be at that table, breaking bread
They got me if I ever need a place to lay my head
Or if I’m stranded and I call ‘em, they come pick me up
Shoe on the other foot, they know that they can hit me up
And even if we bumping heads, I still know they got me
They stay the same, they don’t switch up to impress nobody
Respect both ways ‘cause all of us been payin’ dues
Ain’t never jealous when you comin’ up or makin’ moves
You got a real one in your circle, better say your prayers
Can whoop, feed and discipline my kids like they was theirs
When friends show you they worthy of trust, that’s when it’s earned
They show you love without lookin’ for nothing in return
You ‘bout to learn
[Chorus]
This for my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
These my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
[Verse 3]
Everybody wanna hang out when you blowin’ cash
But you find out who’s really with you when it’s goin’ bad
It’s only certain cats I trust in life to never play me
Friendship ain’t endin’ over shady dudes or shady ladies
Been through some crazy situations that was hell to witness
They know the dirt you did but they don’t ever tell your business
The evil people show they true colors with hearts deceiving
Start talkin’ bad about ya the second y’all start to beefin’
We used to catch the bus long before they heard of us
Years in the game, we got ten, twenty, thirty plus
It ain’t too many you can trust whether right or wrong
Not everyone can take that pressure once them lights come on
It’s good to know that through it all I know just who to call
Runnin’ the streets, studio sessions and shootin’ ball
Not just my boys, I got some homegirls, salute to y’all
See once I know you real, I’ll help you out, run through a wall
So tell ‘em all
[Chorus]
This for my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
These my day 1’s, my day 1’s
These my people that been rockin’ with me if I had some paper or I made none
When it comes to friends, the tougher the better
Get in trouble, struggle or bubble, together, man, it’s whatever
[Final Remarks]
See, real homies are hard to find, yours and mine, don’t disregard the signs, see they with ya regardless, minus the fraudness, I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout them snakes, man, I’m talkin’ ‘bout the one you can hit at 4 in the morning, whatever’s goin’ on, they poppin’ up, they ridin’ wit’cha, day 1’s, male and female, day 1’s, just make sure you one too
