Verse One

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.



Chorus

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.



Chorus



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.
