[Intro]

You and I

We've been through a lot together

And I look back and

I just, uh, I appreciate all the times that

That we had together, you know?

I remember just going down in my room and

You know, dealing, tryna deal with some things

And you've always been there for that

Always, just me and you


[Verse 1]

You and I been best friends ever since I was a young kid, everything we did

Where has time went? Got a lot of years coming up ahead of us and ever since we met

I knew we'd get somewhere, but the fact is I ain't really, I ain't really know when

I don't really know how either, but I can feel the goosebumps, my skin writing

I've been waiting for the moment, you and I can make it happen

Lot of people thinking we ain't gonna make it rapping

I ain't got a problem with 'em though, they don't even matter

We ain't looking for the people tryna say that we the baddest

No, I never liked that, came a long way, never did it for the money

We ever make it big, I'ma give it to the family, looking back now, everything is looking funny

You and I in the room writing, up late when the mood strikes us, we don't care if they do like us

Writing songs for the haters we ain't even got yet, freestyling, somebody turn the mic up

Talking 'bout things we don't really understand

Talking 'bout things we don't really comprehend

Me and you tryna get it, we ain't quitting 'til the end

Now I'm standing on stage tryna give it to the fans, ah


[Interlude]

We took that karaoke machine from my room

And, uh, ha

We put it up to the CD player and played the instrumentals, and

Man, we've come a long way

A long way


[Verse 2]

I made a lot of mistakes, you've been there for the whole thing, help me with the drama

Rapping in the car outside daily, we don't care if it's the winter, we don't care if it's the summer

I remember writing raps with the curse words, I just wanna hear it, seems like everybody does it

Did it for a while, wasn't into all the cussing, tried to find who I was being everything I wasn't, real life (Yeah)

Got a lot of anger

You know where I'm at, put it all over the pages

And wrote it into raps, said that we could be amazing

If I give us a chance, now I'm looking 'round like, "Yeah, look at where we at"

Look at where we at now, we ain't made it yet, but they can hear us in the background coming

Some are gon' hate it, some are gon' love it, I'ma put it in His hands and let God do the judging (Yeah)

Remember me and you

Always had you in the backpack, took you into school

Writing on you like it's nothing, lotta people in the room

See me scribble on a page, but they ain't got a clue, nah, they ain't got a clue

We at the beginning

Hoping someday you and I can say we made it, and we did it

You ain't nothin' but a notepad to me, who you kidding?

I'm just running out of space, I'll be back in a minute, turn the page, homie


[Interlude]

You know, what's crazy is

This just started as something that was an escape for us, you know?

And now I look around and there's a lot of people out there going through the same things, you know, we've been through

Now this music we write is actually making an impact, it's crazy


[Instrumental Break]


[Outro]

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh (NF Real Music)
