Best Friend
R. Kelly featuring Keyshia Cole and Polow Da Don Lyrics

What up Charles? Hey baby
Hey, how are you doing? I've missed you.

Girl I been missin' you like crazy
I've been longing for you so much.

These fools 'bout to make me lose my mind
These people are driving me crazy.

I don't think I can do all this time
I'm not sure if I can handle being in prison for so long.

Now just calm down, don't lose it baby
Try to relax and stay composed.

Keep your head up man, we got you
Stay strong, we're here for you.

How is lil' Junior? And my beautiful daughters?
How are our children doing?

Fine they just miss they daddy
They're doing well, but they miss their father.

Well did you get to talk to my lawyers?
Did you have a chance to speak with my lawyers?

Night and day, day and night I keep callin' em'
I've been constantly trying to reach them.

Yeah? Well day and night, night and day just keep callin' em'
Yes, I've been persistently calling them both during the day and at night.

O.K.
Alright.

Yo, what up my nigga you straight? Anything I can get you?
Hey, how are you doing? Is there anything I can bring you?

Dis toilet paper be cuttin' my ass, I need some rolls of tissue, Charmin
This toilet paper hurts me, I need some soft tissue rolls, like Charmin.

And man what happened to the squares yo ass promised me?
By the way, what happened to the cigarettes you promised me?

Baby, Charles lost his job, he's been strugglin'
Well, Charles lost his job, and he's been going through a hard time.

Yeah? Is that right you lost your job, how?
Really? Is it true that you lost your job? How did that happen?

Man, I been havin' troubles wit my car
I've been having difficulties with my car.

Besides it's too far, price of gas, man it's hard
Also, it's too far for me to travel, and the cost of gas is too high, it's difficult.

And on da real, shit man they be trippin up at that Wal-Mart, feel me?
And honestly, man, they give me a hard time at that Wal-Mart, you know what I mean?

Yeah man I feel you
Yes, I understand what you're saying.

Well baby, I got somethin' I wanna read you
Well, honey, I have something that I want to read to you.

It's from the kids, they wrote this poem in school
It's a poem that our children wrote at school.

And they wanted me to bring it here and read it to you
And they asked me to bring it here and read it for you.

It says, 'Roses are red, violets are blue
The poem starts with the line, 'Roses are red, violets are blue.

Daddy we love you, and we miss you too'
They express their love for you and say that they miss you too.

Aww, dats sweet, but tell me why Charles
Aww, that's sweet, but why is Charles wearing the shirt you bought me?

Is wearin' the shirt you bought me?
Why is he wearing the shirt that you gave me as a gift?
