yo — this one’s for the day-ones, the ones who ride the tide,
rooftop plans, busted sneaks, midnight diner drives. (hey-yo)
since day one we clicked, through highs and lows we synced,
laugh lines, late-night rhymes, plotted maps and instinct.
city lights, comic fights, dodged rain in hooded coats,
shared smoke, cracked jokes, traded dreams through notes.
you saw my first verse, you kept my first scar,
held my hoodie in the rain when i stalled my car.
concrete steps, corner freestyles, mixtape burns,
phone glow at 2am, swapping wins and lessons learned.
loyal like chain links, trust like stamped receipts,
you the warmth in winter blocks, the heat in cold streets.
when plans fell off the map, you redrew the route,
when doubt clamped down, you pressed out the truth — no doubt.
forever friends — ride or die, never bend (hey-yo)
through the storm, through the calm, till the end (hey-yo)
hand in hand, we climb, together we ascend (hey-yo)
unbreakable bond, my day-one friends. (hey-yo)
remember rooftop vows, skyline sketching schemes,
we chased neon mornings, splintered hopes and big dreams.
busted sneaker, stadium seats, front-row to our fears,
shared scars, inside bars, silent cheers across years.
you my mirror on hard days, you my laugh on lighter nights,
you filled my empty pockets with faith and afterlife fights.
from backyard cyphers to graduation caps in flight,
we inked our names on corner walls beneath the city light.
celebrated small wins, called each other through the falls,
you picked the call, fixed the fall, answered all my late-night calls.
no judgment in your fold — only truth, respect, repeat,
you the verse in my chorus, the steady baseline of my beat.
we kept receipts of memories, dog-eared pages in the past,
turned cold winters into stories that the summers couldn't outlast.
when the world pushed heavy, we pushed back heavier still —
fast breath, quicker steps, doubled hearts, doubled will.
every fight, every scar, every lost, every win,
we stitch the gaps together — you the blood beneath my skin.
we climb, we fall, we call — and always reunite,
resolve in every chorus, now we lift into the light.
forever friends — ride or die, never bend (hey-yo)!
through every storm, every calm, until the end (hey-yo)!
side by side, hand in hand, we rise and ascend (hey-yo)!
unbreakable bond — my day-one, my fam, my friends. (hey-yo)!
so here’s to late-night diners, rooftop plans, and scars that mend,
to the ones who read my margins — my forever, day-one friends.
