Use this before the beat drops. This one is not for everybody. This one is for the people who stayed. The ones who prayed when I was tired. The ones who corrected me without trying to break me. The ones who saw something in me while I was still becoming. So before the blessing comes, before the world sees the win, I just want to say: Thanks, my friend. I will not forget. [Spoken Intro] This one is for the real friends. The ones who stood in my corner before the blessing came. The ones who prayed, corrected, encouraged, and stayed close when life got heavy. This is my way of saying: I see you. I appreciate you. And I will not forget. [Verse 1] Some people only show up when the sun is shining bright, when the table’s full of plenty and everything feels right. But you stood beside me when the road was looking thin, when the dream was still a blueprint and I had to start again. You didn’t need a spotlight, you didn’t need applause, you just gave me honest counsel and helped me see the cause. When my back was feeling heavy, when my faith was wearing thin, you reminded me to stand up and keep breathing once again. [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t take it lightly, no, I don’t just move on. Loyalty is sacred when the struggle lasts too long. I may still be building, I may still be on my way, but I remember every hand that helped me through the day. [Chorus] So thanks, my friend, for standing in my corner. Thanks, my friend, for helping me stay strong. If God puts blessings in my hands, I’ll remember where you stand, and I’ll come back for you when the breakthrough comes along. Help me. Help you. Help us™ — that’s the bond we understand. Thanks, my friend, you helped me be a better man. [Verse 2] Real friends don’t measure love by money or by fame. They measure it by presence when nobody knows your name. They show up when it matters, not just when it’s clean. They see the man becoming before the world has seen the dream. You corrected me with kindness, you prayed when I was low, you told me hard truths gently when I needed room to grow. You never tried to break me, you never turned away, and that kind of love is rare in the world we live today. [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t take it lightly, no, I don’t just move on. Loyalty is sacred when the nights are cold and long. I may still be fighting, I may still be on my climb, but real friends are written in the story of my life. [Chorus] So thanks, my friend, for standing in my corner. Thanks, my friend, for helping me stay strong. If God puts blessings in my hands, I’ll remember where you stand, and I’ll come back for you when the breakthrough comes along. Help me. Help you. Help us™ — that’s the bond we understand. Thanks, my friend, you helped me be a better man. [Bridge] When one of us rises, we reach another hand. Nobody stands above, nobody has to stand beneath a man. We grow with understanding, we move with honest trust. Respect is the foundation, and loyalty is love. So if tomorrow opens and the overflow begins, I won’t forget the people who were there before the win. Not because I owe you, but because my heart is clear: real love should be honored, and real friends are rare down here. [Final Chorus] So thanks, my friend, for standing in my corner. Thanks, my friend, for helping me stay strong. If God puts blessings in my hands, I’ll remember where you stand, and I’ll come back for you when the breakthrough comes along. Help me. Help you. Help us™ — that’s the bond we understand. Thanks, my friend, you helped me be a better man. Add this after the final chorus. [Choir Call & Response] Lead: Thanks, my friend… Choir: You stood by me. Lead: Thanks, my friend… Choir: You prayed for me. Lead: When I was down… Choir: You lifted me. Lead: When I was lost… Choir: You covered me. All: Help Me. Help You. Help Us™ That’s the bond, that’s the trust. Thanks, my friend, you stood with me when life got rough. [Outro] To the ones who prayed for me, thanks, my friend. To the ones who stayed with me, thanks, my friend. To the ones who saw something while I was still becoming, may God bless your life for the love you kept on giving. Help me. Help you. Help us™. That’s the balance. That’s the bond. That’s the understanding. Thanks, my friend. I will not forget. © 2026 TTUCKER INDUSTRIES LLC™. All rights reserved.
