[Intro]

As I prepare myself for these curtains to close

I think back to the person that I had once known

I have pleasant memories of us in the past

So I find it sad that we didn't last

Yet you could say I abandoned you like the others

But I couldn't stay with your problems under covers

Whether or not it's right I take this beat for a spin

It's time for my side of the story to begin

[Verse 1]

We used to be close, you used to be my brother

We would work together, love and care like no other

Always helped with your music, you flowin' like a river

You were so kind to me, I was always a giver!

Thought together our legacy would go so long

Thought together you and me could do no wrong

Both workaholics, making songs so rapidly

Even if we fell out, the next day we'd be family

We were blood brothers, used to love and trust you!

Got concerned when I heard about your drug use!

Wrote a few songs, tried to build new trust

Guess those songs I wrote didn't really do much!

You used to spit fire, you were dope at it!

Now you waste your life away with coke and acid

Now I see if I kept you 'round, the stress'll never stop

So if we never cross again, maybe we'll be better off

[Hook]

We had a few laughs, we had some good times

I thought that together, our legacy would rise

But after your mental state became disjointed

I didn't get angry, just disappointed

It hurts that this is how it all ends

But there's no use in playing pretend

You used to be my friend, that was plain to see

But nowadays, you're nothing but a stranger to me

[Verse 2]

I saw all the signs, now there's no pretendin'

This isn't the man that I became friends with!

We weren't perfect, but time together was worth it

Maybe in time, something cool could've surfaced

But fate's such a cruel mistress

Locked us in our homes, forced us to keep our distance

All the words you rhymed, used to be so uplifting

So I used to blame myself when we started drifting

But after a while, I then started to wonder

Bad thoughts in my head turnin' into thunder

You said you're my friend, but now I reckon though

The truth was you saw me as a mere steppin' stone

So we would work together, rappin' all the time

Then once you got what you wanted, you'd leave me behind

Though there were moments where you were a nice guy

I realised then I have to go and cut ties

[Hook]

[Outro]

Despite all the problems, I used to enjoy you

But I knew your addictions would soon destroy you

Wish I didn't have to say what I have to say

'cause it hurts to know the story ends this way

But now I see there's no happy ever after

If I let you back in, you'd give nothing but drama

Just another one that I thought I could trust

It's not the end of the earth, just the end of us

It's just the end of us...
