[Intro – old voicemail texture, piano underneath] Yeah... Lakewood. Class of ’05. SBG Boyz. JWood. Crumpdawg. Baby Boy. Big Baby. Man... We go way back. Before jobs. Before kids. Before we knew how fast this shit could go. This one's for my brothers. [Verse 1 – nostalgic melodic rap, drums building] Lakewood ’05, man, those were the days Young, wild, raising hell every way Friday came around, didn't need no plans Just find where it's jumping and call up the fam We never chased the party, we brought it with us Pull up six deep, then the whole place lit up Didn't have much, didn't need much then Just a car full of trouble and a handful of friends We have lost a whole lot of classmates i havent mention on this feature But these four right here, that shit went deeper Wasn't just the weekends, wasn't just drinking either Different last names, different races and even mothers, Didnt take blood to call em my brothers JWood laughing, Crumpdawg talking slick Baby Boy actin a fool, Big Baby in the mix Back when a weekend was all that we needed Whole crew together, damn near undefeated Never crossed our minds those days had an end Or someday a memory would replace a friend Now every time we link, we still save room for them [Pre-Chorus – melodic, beat pulls back] Funny how a song can take you back One old picture brings the whole crew back Life moved on, but some things never changed We still tell the stories, still call your names [Chorus – big melodic hook] Here’s to the ones who should still be here To the laughs, the nights, and the reckless years JWood, Crumpdawg, Baby Boy, Big Baby Man, I know somewhere y’all still going crazy We grew up, but we never grew apart Lakewood forever, that is stamped on our hearts SBG Boyz, yeah, the name still stands Some became memories, but you’re still our fam So turn it up loud when this song comes on For the brothers we love even though they’re gone Class of ’05, we still carry you with us Till the whole crew links back up in Heaven [Verse 2 – drums hit harder] Now we got kids calling some of us Dad Bills on the counter and backs going bad Funny how fast all those years disappeared Feels like last week we were cracking those beers Everybody scattered, started chasing a life Some found a calling, some found a wife Some took the long road, some barely got through But fuck with one of us and watch what it do One story gets started, somebody says a name, And for a couple damn minutes, it's ’05 again. [Chorus] That's when somebody raises whatever they got Says, "Here's to the boys," and we drink to the lot Not because you're gone, but because you were here And gave us some damn good unforgettable years [Pre-Chorus – harmonies underneath] Funny how a song can take you back One old picture brings the whole crew back Life moved on, but some things never changed We still tell the stories, still call your names [Chorus – full band] Here’s to the ones who should still be here To the laughs, the nights, and the reckless years JWood, Crumpdawg, Baby Boy, Big Baby Man, I know somewhere y’all still going crazy We grew up, but we never grew apart Lakewood forever, that is stamped on our hearts SBG Boyz, yeah, the name still stands Some became memories, but you’re still our fam So turn it up loud when this song comes on For the brothers we love even though they’re gone Class of ’05, we still carry you with us Till the whole crew links back up in Heaven [Bridge – beat drops, piano and low bass] If I had one night and could bring it all back I wouldn't change nothing, I'd leave it like that Same crazy crew, same nowhere plans Same brothers beside me who knew who I am Wouldn't waste one second asking where time went Wouldn't talk about goodbye or how it all ends I'd crack one open, throw my arm around y'all And stay right there till Heaven made the call [Beat Pause] But I can't bring yesterday back... So tonight, we're gonna make enough noise for y'all to hear us. [Final Chorus – huge, gang vocals behind lead] HERE'S TO THE ONES WHO SHOULD STILL BE HERE TO THE LAUGHS, THE NIGHTS, AND THE RECKLESS YEARS JWOOD, CRUMPDAWG, BABY BOY, BIG BABY IF Y'ALL CAN HEAR US, BETTER TURN UP CRAZY WE GREW UP, BUT WE NEVER GREW APART BROTHERS FOREVER, THAT IS STAMPED ON OUR HEARTS SBG BOYZ, YEAH, THE NAME STILL STANDS DEATH CAN TAKE A BROTHER, CAN'T BREAK THE FAM So turn it up loud every time this comes on Don't bow your head, boys, sing this damn song Class of ’05, we'll keep carrying you with us Till the whole crew links back up in Heaven [Outro – instruments drop to acoustic guitar, voices in background] JWood... Crumpdawg... Baby Boy... Big Baby... Yeah, we miss y'all. But tonight ain't about how you left. It's about how you lived. Lakewood. Class of ’05. SBG Boyz forever. Same crew. Just waiting on the reunion. We ain't gotta say much more than that. The ones who know... know.
