Verse 1:
I met you on a hot summer evening
Drawn and glued to a sweet soul that was beaming
Felt the cold feet 'til my approach started easing
Took a minute to cast out the timid demon
Broke the ice to keep me from feeling tensed
You're the reason I appreciate a woman's strength
Healed from mad pain; plus, you're known to never act strange
Chumps move with feeble attempts to blindly guide you to the fast lane
But, you maneuver through these crass dames and past lames
A heart full of warm love; it's no wonder you got the last name
Burned down that buster named Oppression to the third degree
Pimp-slapped that trick named Adversity
Hurts to see a loved one depart, but we receive reminders that the spirit is eternal
Through the essence they're returned to
Each day's a different chapter, took time to learn you
But, it's a virtue to be in your long-term crew

Chorus (CandaceK):
Complications, predicaments life puts us through
The one stable thing I can count on is you
You’ve been a friend regardless of where life took me through
I’ll forever hold a place in my heart for you

Verse 2:
Jerks that stepped with hidden plans are now cursed and lonely
Got a sho' shot, so I refuse to revert to phonies
A misstep nearly subverted the homie
When I showed up unannounced, you wanted to put a hurting on me
I could fault you
That's why I took some steps and fixed errors to keep our ties more solid than the Rock of Gibraltar
It would've been a major crime to play blind
Cancel our time and spend it with some wretched swine
That played you cheap; I wasn't with that
Glad I muted suckaz when they yelled, "Split, hit, flip, spit, and quit that"
Saw something special in a flesh-made angel
Who never let a vice get my judgment entangled
Nurture your son with proper jewels to savor his growth
As the ships get rocky, make sure he's staying afloat
The most prized possession, glad I've found it
I pity fools throwing monkey wrenches to your kindness

Chorus (CandaceK):
Complications, predicaments life puts us through
The one stable thing I can count on is you
You’ve been a friend regardless of where life took me through
I’ll forever hold a place in my heart for you

Verse 3:
Folks on the sidelines try and shine like Caddy's wood and diamonds
However, true colors were seen with good timing
Deceit and propaganda are living proof that the hood's grimy
Once those foes left, you stood by me
You've kept me calm once my mood was getting colder
If you ever feel low, I'd be your extra ear and shoulder
Devotion's unconditional; know that I'm not kidding you
Never sell you false dreams like bogus politicians do
As soon as you speak, we take heed
At your happiest moments, you'd smile so hard, it make your face bleed
Your fam embraced me with open arms; kept me from staying miffed
Through your glowing presence, I've received the greatest gift
So, 'til death or betrayal start playing their parts
I promise to keep us more potent than mace by the narcs
This friendship's like a mural, ain't no wasting the art
Just so you'll know, you'll always have a place in my heart
And, that's for real.....

Chorus (CandaceK):
Complications, predicaments life puts us through
The one stable thing I can count on is you
You’ve been a friend regardless of where life took me through
I’ll forever hold a place in my heart for you
