Song For A Friend x Jason Mraz

from The Indie Experiment Volume 1 by Cee

/

about

I dedicate this cut to my brother, Brad. Y'all know him as Notion. I've never done a song just for him before, so it was well overdue. This is some straight from the heart shit. I mean every word. It was hard to even record this without tearing up. I couldn't do this music without him.

lyrics

[Verse 1: Cee]

Uh, I'm a lucky dude,
I got fam rolling with me from the jump and through,
All the bullshit they have with to put up,
They coulda dipped on me but they stand thick and rep hard,
And over here man, we everything each other has,
So I'm only hopelessly focused on holding down they ass,
Pause, a man is nothing if he ain't loved,
So my people making me something that's above blood, uh

[Verse: Jason Mraz]

Well you're magic he said
But don't let it all go to your head
Cuz I bet if you all had it all figured out
Then you'd never get out of bed
No doubt
Of all the thing's that I've read what he wrote me
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping
To be
I keep on keeping it real
Cause it keeps getting easier, he'll see
He's the reason that I'm laughing
Even if there's no one else
He said, you've got to love yourself

[Verse 2: Cee]

Yeah, you gotta rep for you,
Coz I can only do a portion of what you can, duke,
It ain't easy when you looking in the mirror,
To see exactly what you want staring back, I hear you

[Verse: Jason Mraz]

You say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak
But keep your tongue up in your cheek
And if you stumble onto something better remember that it's humble that you seek
You got all the skill you need,
Individuality
You got something
You call it gumption
You call it anything you want
Because when you play the fool now
You're only fooling everyone else
You're learning to love yourself

[Verse 3: Cee]

Yeah, you picking it up now,
I see your confidence building since we jetted out,
Though it's hard, dog you handling your damn biz,
But I'mma bust your balls coz that's how a big brother is,
Man I only want the best for you,
And I hate to see you struggle when the money late and rent is due,
So I'm pushing you to be a better Brad,
Coz I know you got it in you, you just gotta get it out man

[Verse: Jason Mraz]

There's no price to pay
When you give and what you take,
That's why it's easy to thank you
You...

[Verse 4: Cee]

And yo, I gotta thank you fam,
For sticking with and believing in me through all this, damn,
You coulda dipped and left me here by my damn self,
You kept it moving, I couldn't and was too proud for help,
Yeah, it's good to know that your back had,
Between you and Tiff, dog I'm more than on track man,
It's a wrap when we both stay focused,
Together bruh, there's nothing that we can't do, know this

[Verse: Jason Mraz]

Let's say take a break from the day
And get back to the old garage
Because life's too short anyway
But at least it's better then average
As long as you got me
And I got you
You know we'll got a lot to go around
I'll be your friend
Your other brother
Another love to come and comfort you
And I'll keep reminding
If it's the only thing I ever do
I will always love
I will always love you
Yes you
I will always, always, always, always love
I will always, always love
I will always, always love, love

[Verse 5: Cee]

Yeah, and you know that bruh,
Ain't a human existing I'm putting a-bove ya,
You my best friend even when we ain't close,
Life be getting in the way, shit that's just how it goes,
I hope this song is appropriate,
Dude, I've been meaning just to speak on this shit for a moment kid,
I know that most of what we feeling go unsaid,
So I'mma lay it out the only way I know how I can,
Sometimes I know I act like dad,
But I don't mean to disrespect you coz it's faith I have,
I'm the oldest so I feel you kinda my responsibility,
And plus moving here was my idea and so it's killing me,
To think that you anything less than satisfied,
And you seem motivated so the tears that I cried,
Are hopefully in vain,
And I don't want a repeat of Bekah and VP, I couldn't deal with that again,
And yo, when I first heard you spit at fifteen,
I was like 'goddamn, that's sick, a little me',
But you put the work in to your craft,
And dog I've seen you grow into an artist, that's incredible, and,
You my favourite MC, and son you kept me inspired,
When I thought my love for music was lost, but you grind,
And I knew I couldn't ever give it up,
Coz the Fam on my arm and that's some shit that won't ever wash off,
And though I'm dipping to the 514,
You gotta know that staying here for me is all I want,
And between us we can hold it the fuck down in both cities,
See our crew literally worldwide when most isn't,
It used to be that achieving with music,
Is all that mattered now I'm just happy to be doing shit,
Whatever happens, we attacking as a team,
Lil bro riding with me, competition ain't a thing,
But yo, I'm feeling like a weight lifted off of me,
There's nothing realer I could do for you but talk on beats,
At any minute, could be gone with the wind,
You my brother, you my partner, this my song for a friend,
At any second, could be gone with the wind,
You my brother, you my partner, this a song for a friend,
At any second, could be gone with the wind,
You my brother, you my partner, this a song for a friend yeah
