Good friends hard to come by I ride and I die for mine Names kept ananymous since we have the same enemies But we gradually grew Caught the same felonies They are 24 in their young kobe stage Me 23 in my Jordan era at 26 The peak of my career Never blamed the game Just the situation I want to shine with those I was dimmed with I want to eat with those who I starved with I want shop with those who I robbed with I want to laugh with those who I cried with Water that is thick as blood Those is who I swimm with We've done lied Blew trial and scape town with each other Friends like mine you'll never find Bring out the good and the bad in us at the same time. Though I learned from each one Middle one dropped out of high school Oldest one dropped out of college I finished both So I gained books and street knowledge These are my brothers We started at distant cousins Now inseparable like two magnets One nephew two nieces How God blessed me Next year it might just be me That's JI and KD We aren't friends no more Nor distant cousins We thick as blood Brothers
