Lyrics to Good People (Feat. Kasey Chambers)
They say life comes and goes in a blink
So why do we waste time worried bout what other people think
Depression ain't a joke, man
We don't let the wounds heal, we just keep em open
Imagine someone dying on your music video
Can you fathom how soul destroying, that gets in to you
And people in the scene that you think you're friends with
Don't even text or call
Yeah you know who you are, that's cold
And radio stops playing you
Everybody weighing in
With their opinion when they don't know the situation
Hit from every avenue
Souls turning black and blue
Fans turn their back on you
They treat you like an animal
Now hold up, hold up, man, the truth is
It was good people that got me through this
I built a circle of friends to be conducive
To winning and positive thinking killing all the bullshit
Cuz dwelling is hella not helping
And partying to escape is not healthy
But these good people gave me the fortitude
Like the 42 on Jackie Robinson and James Worthy's jerseys
Big P, you are good people
Cuzzy James, DK, you are good people
Mum and Dad, Sista Claw you are good people
Johan, brother you are good people
I got them good people, fly people holding me up
My neighbourhood people, my people, they give a fuck
When your circle of friends are like family, man, that's it
When life gives you the blues you've got the juice to handle that shit
With good people
Good people
Good people
Good people
Yeah a yo, I'm living my best life, I love what I do
But sometimes through the eyes the only colour is blue
Stuck in a loop trying to run from the truth
Where sad and happy play tag like the sun in the moon
And I know times get stressful, I know life gets hard
I know you post those pics just to hide those scars
Trying to filter real life we need to chill for real
There's no emoji that can show me how you really feel
That's what it's only my real homies that really know me
Those good peeps that will always care
Cause good friends are like stars in the sky
You don't always see em but you know they're always there, yeah
Yeah so let me take you to church
I was chilling with my son while I was making this verse
Thinking moments like these are what make it all worth it
And just looking at you makes me wanna shout out the nurses
Shout out my lady, I gotta thank you twice
You're my queen, you're my dream, you're my gangsta wife
And middle fingers to the walls I eventually knocked down
And shout out to my DJ for helping me not drown, yeah
And my fans mean everything
In front of you I gave my girl her wedding ring
And my mumma said I can do anything
And even though she's gone I use her love as my medicine
And when it comes to friends some only have two or three
My dad says that all you really need
So I guess I'm blessed that you saved me
Cause now I'm wearing a smile that you gave me, it's crazy
I got them good people, fly people holding me up
My neighbourhood people, my people, they give a fuck
When your circle of friends are like family, man, that's it
When life gives you the blues you've got the juice to handle that shit
With good people
Good people
Good people
Good people
Good people
Good people
