[Verse I]
Am C Em
Ain't never been much of the church type
But I believe in the last days
Am C Em
I walk through Hell almost every night
But I believe it's a pathway
Am C Em
Say boy, what you doin' with your life
With those tattoos on your face?
Am C Em
Say boy, you know that you'll pay the price
Well, I guess I'll see when I head that way
[Chorus]
Am G F Em
To the father, son and holy spirit
I hold you nearest
Am G
My best friend, best friend
F C
Let the trumpets blow with your appearance
Em
I can almost hear it
Am G
My best friend, best friend
F Em
When you wish me Hell upon my soul and spirit
Behold these lyrics
Am G
I got a best friend, best friend
F C Em
Yeah, I got a best friend, best friend, yeah
[Verse II]
Am C Em
I don't know much about Holy Bibles
But I grew up in the Bible Belt
Am C Em
I put my love for a woman on idle
Because I got beat with my mama's belt
Am C Em
But I learned from my mistakes
Try hard to respect people for what they believing in
Am C
But if you spit on my fucking grave
Em
And wish me Hell then I wish you well
I'mma send you straight up to my best friend
[Chorus]
Am G F Em
To the father, son and holy spirit
I hold you nearest
Am G
My best friend, best friend
F C
Let the trumpets blow with your appearance
Em
I can almost hear it
Am G
My best friend, best friend
F Em
When you wish me Hell upon my soul and spirit
Behold these lyrics
Am G
I got a best friend, best friend
F C Em
Yeah, I got a best friend, best friend, yeah
[Verse III]
Am
God, please could you arm me with the armor
C
To calm me when there's drama like Gandhi?
Em
Could have gone the other way many times
Could have turned Dalai with the lama
Am
But I squashed my beefs and things seem to be looking decent
C
Recently, but don't jinx it
Em
It's like Clint Eastwood looking for peace though
Maybe not finna enter
The priesthood, but at least should
Am
Make an attempt to show some remorse
C
And to be some sort of a repenter
Em
For the people I've been a menace to
Not a preacher, but a shit starter and finisher
Am
Into the mind of a thick skin, but a short temper
C
This patience of mine is thinner
Em
Than twine is when I get attacked
So I might say something back that might offend you
Am
So if you don't like when I rap
C
Or what I have to say on the mic then you
Em
Might wanna act just like quarterbacks
And take a fuckin' hike when I snap cause I'm a sinner
Am
(I got a best friend, best friend)
C
Plus balls and intestines
Em
And they never been yes men
They gon' tell me when I'm fuckin' up
The minute I'm ever giving it less than
Am
I'm about to vomit and I can feel it coming
C
Cause failure's something I can barely stomach
Em
And I only listen to my gut
So unless you're my fuckin' belly button
Don't tell me nothin'
Am C
You ain't my (best friend, best friend)
Who you think I'm talking 'bout?
Em
Lifts me up when I'm down and out
Still look to him without a doubt
Am C Em
Still got a (best friend, best friend)
[Chorus]
Am G F Em
To the father, son and holy spirit
I hold you nearest
Am G
My best friend, best friend
F C
Let the trumpets blow with your appearance
Em
I can almost hear it
Am G
My best friend, best friend
F Em
When you wish me Hell upon my soul and spirit
Behold these lyrics
Am G
I got a best friend, best friend
F C Em
Yeah, I got a best friend, best friend, yeah
