Nakama by Gambit Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What would a man be without his family and companions?
Damn, he would be a phantom
Seemingly random circumstances occurring by chance
Had me learn of the clan that turned to my friends as if perfectly planned
This is for every member of my crew
I'm sure I wouldn't have made it here if it weren't for you
Whenever I suffered troubles and my brushes were bleeding blue
I put my trust in my brothers to come and help me see it through
I remember spending never-ending days on Main Street
In rain, sleet, snow or cold, pain or plain heat
We'd sit in Tom's attic or kick it in Tim's basement
Talking reality, agreeing life is amazing
I have so much to say that human language can't convey
You're the reason I'm even close to the man that I am today
I love every one of you, so if we're separated
When we get together that'll seem like yesterday
[Chorus]
And I know no matter what we'll always have each other's backs
I'll forever protect you and that's a natural fact, so
I'ma lean on you and if you lean on me too
Then we will always be supported in everything that we do
We're comrades through the hottest of waters
And honestly through all the trauma never bothered with drama
We got each other, we're brothers, and I feel honored
To know no matter what happens you'll always be my nakama
[Verse 2]
I learned the first person one befriends is his cousin
You was bumping my music way before I was even buzzing
Jason Jon, as a baby I was waiting for something
And seven months later discovered gratefully what it was
And I want to thank you, make you aware that I cherish
The memories when we were brazenly behaving so carelessly
Here to Polaris we never were embarrassed to be
Exactly who we are, the memory won't parish in me
We were both known for being prone to stirring up trouble
Never learning, but sure enough we both emerged from the bubble
And although we come from a different father and mother
You already know that both of us are honestly brothers
It's quite amazing, I know within my heart
That no amount of time or space could ever make us grow apart
I'll bet my ass that as long as I have you as a friend
We could fight the entire planet and win
[Chorus]
So I know no matter what we'll always have each other's backs
I'll forever protect you and that's a natural fact, so
I'ma lean on you and if you lean on me too
Then we will always be supported in everything that we do
We're comrades through the hottest of waters
And honestly through all the trauma never bothered with drama
We got each other, we're brothers, and I feel honored
To know no matter what happens you'll always be my nakama
[Verse 3]
When I was younger I had nothing to fear, yo
My older brother Sean Michael was like a hero
I was seven years old, you were twelve, we'd get bored
Begin picking up sticks and fight each other with pretend swords
Twelve years later, no talk of repercussions
We would joke and smoke over a thought-provoking discussion
Cussing and chucklin', buckled in for whatever could happen
And when I look back it makes me laugh again
I just wish that there was more that I could do to protect you
You gave me somebody to connect to, I remember
You were always so smart, it made me wonder what the fuck I'd do
Cause anything I accomplish is just me catching up to you
I've always trusted you much more than others
Our parents know we love them and Morgan's aware we love her
So if you're ever in trouble let us know and we'll cover ya
Cause I'm never giving up as long as I'm your little brother
[Chorus]
And I know no matter what we'll always have each other's backs
I'll forever protect you and that's a natural fact, so
I'ma lean on you and if you lean on me too
Then we will always be supported in everything that we do
We're comrades through the hottest of waters
And honestly through all the trauma never bothered with drama
We got each other, we're brothers, and I feel honored
To know no matter what happens, you're always gonna be my nakama
What would a man be without his family and companions?
Damn, he would be a phantom
Seemingly random circumstances occurring by chance
