Lyrics for Song: When We Were Friends 
Lyrics for Album: Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine [2004]
  
               
  12414>Hey, hey, hey... hey...
  Hey, hey, hey... heeey...
 
 
  [Chorus:]
  Ooh ask me my nigga
  The only one there that'll be my nigga
  And I'm gon' finally be free my nigga
  But you don't have to follow me my nigga
  Oh yeah it's still love my nigga
  And I ain't gon' stop just because my nigga
  ?Daddy Paxson? always does my nigga
  And always remember what it was my nigga
 
 
  La da da da... la dadadadada... [x4]
 
 
  [Verse 1:]
  When we were friends, the days would begin and end
  Went from boys to men, we boys 'til then
  We know each other real, we know each other rules
  And we wore each other's clothes and each other's shoes
  But in an instance, the days become distance
  Your path doesn't go in the same direction his went
  And can't help but be scared
  Of the virtually unknown up ahead (I heard what you said)
  But I'll be fine
  Whether it is favor or failure, it must be mine
  Well he can stand still, if that's how that man feel
  Cuz what can't can't and whatever can will
  So I'm walking toward my future with my back to it
  Hoping you look up and see me as a reason to do it
  When you get grown it's a given
  You damn near gotta do the same thing for a living
 
 
  [Chorus]
 
 
  [Verse 2:]
  And my cousin I love him like a son cause I was him
  And he think his thuggin' pleases me but it doesn't
  How could I applause it when I had caused it
  But if it's God's plan for him, I guess I ain't cost shit
  for what I gave him - wasn't so bad I couldn't save him
  Either they'll enslave him or a gun'll grave him
  I still believe in him but he think I'm leavin him
  When I be busy he think I'm bob-n-weavin him
  I probably sound like his daddy
  But over the phone, cause I ain't around - like his daddy
  When we talk I wanna hear you be productive
  Conversate for hours 'bout something constructive
  But it never come up
  With all them niggaz round your neck you ain't gon' never come up
  Maybe I'm jealous cause you love them more
  Can't understand what you love them for
  Don't get me wrong you know I love them too
  But you know who I always hold above them, you
  And it ain't nobody business
  I'll just make believe that music can miraculously mend this
  So I'll be a sound
  And then you do your thing to it and we mix it down
  And make a song my nigga, cause even when I'm away I'll always be around
 
 
  [Chorus]
