Jarren Benton - Don't Speak

[Chorus]
You and me
Used to be together
Every day, together
Always

[Verse 1]
Yeah, uh
They say nothing lasts forever, daily we was together
Scraping change from the couch, I would pray for things to get better
I barely stray from the pressure, on days when Satan would press us
Minutes move fast, with you the time isn't precious
I; had the biggest crush on you, I think you knew it
Was bad with love language but you seemed to speak it fluent
Didn't wanna make our friendship awkward so I ain't pursue it
My niggas always ask if wе fuckin', they so intrusive
I; make еxcuses like "nah, that's like the lil' sis"
And I don't even view her like that, that's a lil' sick
I switch up when the homies around, just a lil' bit
You call me out in front of 'em, always challenge my bullshit
The summer came then somethin' changed
It's been a month and you ain't answer my calls, I know she gon' explain
Maybe she found love, and prob'ly was just so afraid to tell me
So it's easy to ghost me than watch me go insane
Heartbroken, it's so hard to stay strong
I'm callin' her one more time and then I gotta move on
Her sister answered the phone I knew that something was wrong
She said a month ago she OD'd, I'm sorry, she gone
[Chorus]
You and me
Used to be together
Every day, together
Always

[Bridge]
Yeah
Too much anguish
When love changes
And best friends become strangers

[Verse 2]
Yeah
They say nothing lasts forever, daily we was together
Hit dope on our momma's couch these young niggas out chasing cheddar
I never stray from the pressure, who said these niggas gon' press us
They come and leaving the bag, if not that, lie on a stretcher, uh
Young and dumb and our brains is barely developed
Fatherless home, what the fuck can these niggas tell us
Drug money for wealth, we get overzealous
Won't lend a hand out to help us, it's fuck these niggas forever
Am I my brother's keeper, never break the oath
And if they hit us with the RICO never break or choke
Don't say nun' about no bodies or no yayo dough
Not even a yayo no, just keep it closed whenever they approach
We got it out the source, so let us raise a toast
We gave it to the fiend, look at him chasing [?]
So where the fuck were y'all whenever they was broke
Look at him, married to the money, me and bae elope
Me and my day ones, we got it together
We weathered the storm with niggas without our endeavors
Some bitch OD'd from your bag, so now you sit in a cell
But you snitchin' so we all go to jail
I told you, don't speak
[Outro]
Damn
Not you
Not my nigga
Never the snitchin'
Man

Yeah
A thug changes
And love changes
And best friends become strangers
