[Intro: Royce Da 5'9"]
Reflections of your strong friend
You need to check up on your strong friend
Nobody ever checks up on the strong friend
Uh, strong friend

[Royce Da 5'9"]
I remember 2003 out here screamin "We next"
I was grippin that 300, Rockin Rye Lexus GS
I put rhinestones on my du-rag, I put on leather pants
I went to parties just for Bacardi, I tricked, I never danced
All my friends expect to be treated just as my next of kin
Eyebrows lift up if I'm out with them and let them spend
The question is, "How is y'all problems becomin my problems?
I'm already hidin all of my problems behind my Pop problems"
When I was 9 seen my father beat the shit out my momma
I'm smilin right now, I'm tryin not to cry about her
Alcoholic, I just spent five thousand tryna buy bottles, of Patrón again
Now sing along with your strongest friend

[Chorus: Royce Da 5'9"]
Suicide, it's a suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide

[Royce Da 5'9"]
You need to check up on your strong friend
The one with strength that's never gon' end
The one with sense, take care of several grown men, pay they rent
And then they trade on him, the Devil play to win
I remember I had Maia Campbell in my Mercedes Benz
You probably thought she gave in to the plot of Satan's sin, she got demons greater than
you and I, and this message is to Denaun and to Shady, you say we friends?
Well take care of Lyric, 80 and baby Quinn like they Hailie then
Well shit, it's my funeral, y'all should play all of my songs too
Hope my body look beautiful, while I lay in my strong suit
Rumors spread about me that ain't true, that's how the fake do
If I'm the strong friend, then what the FUCK do that make you?!

[Outro: Royce Da 5'9"]
Check up on your strong friend, uh

 suicide ain't the answer." - Kendrick Lamar
"The worst thing to call somebody is crazy; it's dismissive.
 'I don't understand this person so he's crazy.'

 Maybe their environment is a little sick." - Dave Chappelle
