[Verse 1] Long days, dirty hands, another twelve on the grind, Phone dead, mind numb, too much money on my mind. But soon as I hit that door, you’re runnin’ down the hall, Actin’ like I’m a legend, like I just won it all. No questions ‘bout where I’ve been, No judgment for the shit I did back then. You just wag that tail like, “Say less, you’re home,” In a world full of fake, you’re the realest that I know. [Pre-Chorus] You don’t care ‘bout my status, You don’t care ‘bout my car. You just happy that I made it, Whether I’m broke or I’m a star. [Chorus] You my day one, my best friend, When the world goes cold, you stayin’ right there till the end. When my faith low, you don’t bend, Lay your head on my lap like, “We gon’ rise again.” Every scar, every loss I’ve seen, You just look up at me like I’m still a king. In a life where so much don’t make sense, You remind me what love really is, man’s best friend. [Verse 2] I’ve had homies disappear when the money got tight, Had lovers say forever then ghost me overnight. But you were there in the silence when my prayers felt stuck, When I thought I lost it all, you never switched up. You don’t talk, but you read me better than most, Know when I’m haunted by the past, see the pain in my ghost. You just nudge me with your nose like, “We still here,” Pull me outta my head, bring me back to right here. [Pre-Chorus] You don’t care who I used to be, All you see’s the man I am. And somehow in your eyes, I’m already more than enough, no plan. [Chorus] You my day one, my best friend, When the world goes cold, you stayin’ right there till the end. When my faith low, you don’t bend, Lay your head on my lap like, “We gon’ rise again.” Every scar, every loss I’ve seen, You just look up at me like I’m still a king. In a life where so much don’t make sense, You remind me what love really is, man’s best friend. [Bridge] One day time’s gonna call you home, And I’m scared of that day, thinkin’ ‘bout bein’ alone. But I know God sent you for a season and a reason, To teach me loyalty in a disloyal world, every day, every season. So if I make it to the top or if I fall back down, You the one thing in my story that never played around. When I’m gone, they can talk about the money I spent— But they’ll never understand what your life really meant. [Final Chorus] You my day one, my best friend, When the world goes cold, you stayin’ right there till the end. When my faith low, you don’t bend, Lay your head on my lap like, “We gon’ rise again.” Every scar, every loss I’ve seen, You just look up at me like I’m still a king. In a life where so much don’t make sense, You remind me what love really is… [Outro] Yeah, when the lights fade and the noise all ends, I know I still got you, man’s best friend.

A man’s best friend
