Good People (feat. Kasey Chambers)

They say life comes and goes in a blink

So why do we waste time

Worryin' 'bout what other people think?

Depression ain't a joke, man

We don't let the wounds heal, we just keep 'em open

Imagine someone dying on your music video

Can you fathom how soul destroying? That gets into you

And people in the scene that you think you're friends with

Don't even text or call

Yeah, you know who you are, that's cold

And radio stops playin' you, everybody weighin' in

With their opinion when they don't know the situation

Hit from every avenue, souls turning black and blue

Fans turn their back on you, they treat you like an animal

Now hold up, hold up, man, the truth is

It was good people that got me through this

I built a circle of friends to be conducive

To winning and positive thinking, killin' all the bullshit

'Cause dwelling is hella not helping

And partying to escape is not healthy

But these good people gave me the fortitude

Like the 42 on Jackie Robinson and James Worthy's jerseys

Big P, you are good people

Cuzzy James, DK you are good people

Mom and Dad, Sista Claw you are good people

Johan, brother, you are good people

I got them good people, fly people holdin' me up

My neighborhood people, my people, they give a fuck

When your circle of friends are like family

Man, that's it

When life gives you the blues

You've got the juice to handle that shit

With good people

Good people

Good people

Good people

Yeah, ayo, I'm livin' my best life, I love what I do

But sometimes through the eyes, the only color is blue

Stuck in a loop, tryna run from the truth

Where sad and happy play tag like the sun in the moon

And I know times get stressful, I know life gets hard

I know you post those pics just to hide those scars

Tryna filter real life, we need to chill for real

There's no emoji that can show me how you really feel

That's what it's only my real homies that really know me

Those good peeps that will always care

'Cause good friends are like stars in the sky

You don't always see 'em but you know their always there, yeah

Yeah, so let me take you to church

I was chillin' with my son while I was making this verse

Thinkin' moments like these are what make it all worth it

And just lookin' at you makes me wanna shout out the nurses

Shout out my lady, I gotta thank you twice

You're my queen, you're my dream, you're my gangster wife

And middle fingers to the walls I eventually knocked down

And shout out to my DJ for helping me not drown, yeah

And my fans mean everything

In front of you, I gave my girl her wedding ring

And my mama said I can do anything

And even though she's gone, I use her love as my medicine

And when it comes to friends, some only have two or three

My dad says that's all you really need

So I guess I'm blessed that you saved me

'Cause now I'm wearing a smile that you gave me, it's crazy

I got them good people, fly people holdin' me up

My neighborhood people, my people, they give a fuck

When your circle of friends are like family

Man, that's it

When life gives you the blues

You've got the juice to handle that shit

With good people

Good people

Good people

Good people

Good people

Good people

Good people
