Old Friend - Earl Sweatshirt

Strong spirit where the body couldn’t get a solemn

The cost of living high, don’t cross the picket line and get the virus

Wild catters got 'em in a bond, stay inside

Know I came from out the thicket smilin'

Mad hatters cappin' every line, it doesn’t matter to the ten of five

They start hackin' when they can’t shrink us

I found the middle in a bit of balance

Fever in the cabin

I knew where we was headed

I ain’t countin' no blessings, I sure as shit could measure

Blinkin' for some feasible methods to free yourself

Split it with my hand like Cigarills

Slick oil in a fish gill

I fill a void with the pen, feel the fear, shrill

Couple stains that I couldn’t shill

My brother brain that we couldn’t shield

Couple came, couple wins still

And what remain of the wolves kneel

I held the page, gave the book ears

Whispered «Thanks» hella pain, heavy brain in the catskills

Played the shade, quite a deal, glad we stayed friends
