Best Friend (feat. Eminem)

Ain't never been much of the church type
But I believe in the last days
I walk through Hell almost every night
But I believe it's a pathway
Say boy, what you doin' with your life
With those tattoos on your face?
Say boy, you know that you'll pay the price
Well, I guess I'll see when I head that way

To the father son and holy spirit
I hold you nearest
My best friend, best friend
Let the trumpets blow with your appearance
I can almost hear it
My best friend, best friend
When you wish me Hell upon my soul and spirit
Behold these lyrics
I got a best friend, best friend
Yeah, I got a best friend, best friend, yeah

I don't know much about Holy Bibles
But I grew up in the Bible Belt
I put my love for a woman on idle
Because I got beat with my mama's belt
But I learned from my mistakes
Try hard to respect people for what they believe in
But if you spit on my fucking grave
And wish me Hell then I wish you well
I'mma send you straight up to my best friend

God, please would you arm me with the armor?
They call me when there's drama like Gandhi
Could have gone the other way many times
Could have turned Dalai with the lama
But I squash my beefs when things seem to be looking decent
Recently, but don't jinx it
It's like Clint Eastwood looking for peace
Though maybe not for the inner
The priest stood, but at least should
Make an attempt to show some remorse

And then be some sort of a repenter
For the people I've been a minister
Not a preacher, but a shit starter and a finisher
In the mind of a thick skin, but a short temper
This patience of mine is thinner
Than twine is when I get attacked
So I might say something back that might offend you
So if you don't like when I rap
What I have to say on the mic then you
Might wanna act just like quarterbacks

And take a fuckin' hike when I snap cause I'm a sinner
(I got a best friend, best friend)
My butt, balls and intestines
And ain't never been yes men
They gon' tell me when I'm fuckin' up
The minute I'm ever giving it less then
I'm about to vomit and I can feel it coming
Cause failure's something I can barely stomach
And I only listen to my guts
So unless you're my fuckin' belly button

Don't tell me nothin'
You ain't my (best friend, best friend)
Who you think I'm talking 'bout?
Lifts me up when I'm down and out
Still look to him without a doubt
Still got a (best friend, best friend)
Shout it out like there's never been a louder mouth
Should have never been allowed, I'm out
Now that I got a higher power
Now with a black out power, out is out

Like powerless, but they crowd around
They tend to flock like shepherds to black sheep
But I be the worst thing that these motherfuckers ever heard
When I'm counted out
You be D-O-A, then announced
They pronounce you dead when they sound it out
So prepare for a rival, your arch enemy surrounds you now

He's all around you
Not even a doctor's at the hospital
He could have shigy-shocked you back to life
It's im-piggy-possible to revive you
That's word to the digy-doctor
You stopping and that's not an option
Something I'm not gonna do
I'm the Iggy-Pop of hip-hop when I walk in the booth

Dawg, I'm the truth like Biggie rockin' with 2Pac in the suit
Talking to Proof dropping a deuce
Fill up a syllable clip like a refillable strip, cock and I shoot
Who you think's my Glock that I use?
That I pull from to get my strength up against these haters
And they be waiting at the gate
When you get sprayed up, sitting you hoes straight up
To deal with my (best friend, best friend)

To the father son and holy spirit
I hold you nearest
My best friend, best friend
Let the trumpets blow with your appearance
I can almost hear it
My best friend, best friend
When you wish me Hell upon my soul and spirit
Behold these lyrics
I got a best friend, best friend
Yeah, I got a best friend, best friend, yeah
