Aniseed Liquor - Funky DL

Aniseed Liquor, Stixx and I reminisce about the days

When we were coming up as little nippers

Now we touring overseas

Hanging out with Nujabes and cruising Tokyo to Yokohama by the sea

And we eating Chinese, Wing Wah, High Road Leytonstone

Open only six days a week, eat a number 93

Barbecue spare ribs and hold the sauce please

These my brand new jeans

Aniseed Liquor, remember when I told you bout' my best friend J?

The one who went away to prison back day

A couple years ago he called me asking for an alibi

Police was after him, so asking me if I would lie

I told him J, let me take this time to introduce you to someone

That you need to meet he’s called the truth

You my man, fifty grand, shake my hand

But I doubt I’m gonna perjure myself on the stand for you

Aniseed Liquor, Charl it’s gonna take more than words to paint the picture

Of how much I love you and how much I miss ya'

Can only thank God I got to share my life wit' ya'

And you’re sacred to me like a verse from the scripture

So when you get to Euston I’mma always come and getcha'

So please remember that I’m just a phone call away

You are the light that makes the dark things fall away

Each time, all the time, every time (x4)

Verse Two

Aniseed liquor, Lei, ever since we recorded Imagine Me

I knew that you were special, you forever on my team

Cos you always there to back me up for anything I need

And listen to me talk about the things that get me peeved

And I am super proud of when you striving to achieve

And when I suffocate, we conversate so I can breathe

And your Mom said a prayer for my Pops to help me grieve when I was the bereaved

Aniseed liquor, Parris you don’t know how much a true inspiration

We live in different countries holding down communication

And went to school together, so we class foundation

I got to learn a lot from you all kinds of information

And see you moving forward to a place of elevation

You held me down when I would make New York my destination

I always had a place to stay without a reservation, so much appreciation

Aniseed liquor, these are the people who go beyond careers

And these are the people who know beyond my fears

Felt my tears and were there and they cared

And go beyond the Dennison years

Aniseed liquor, these are the people who know about my journey

And these are the people who listened and really heard me

And these are the people who made me feel really worthy

So let me take a slurp b

Outro

Friendship… yeah, I mean

I don’t know… friendship is a beautiful thing

I think um'…

It’s one of those things that sometimes it’s hard to put into words

It’s crazy like… you know…

I’ve been fortunate that…

I’ve been blessed with some beautiful people in my life
