Day onesStill the same from the floor to the roofWe split the empty plate, now we split the living proofDay ones, that's the only crew I moveMoney came and money went but the bond it never movedReal ones from the start, got nothing left to proveSame five from the bottom that believed before the buzzHeld me down when holding down was all the love there wasNo new friends when the numbers hit the newsYou can't buy the kind of loyalty that paid its duesWe don't say it soft but we ride it to the endA brother ain't a label, it's a debt you don't pretendDay onesStill the same from the floor to the roofWe split the empty plate, now we split the living proofDay ones, that's the only crew I moveRemember sharing one meal between the four of usNow we breaking bread on tables that we built from all that trustNobody got left behind when the elevator roseWe came up as a unit, that's just how the story goesI'd give it all back tomorrow before I'd lose a oneThe bag was always second, the brotherhood was wonDay onesStill the same from the floor to the roofWe split the empty plate, now we split the living proofDay ones, that's the only crew I moveWe laughed in the apartments where the heat would barely runWe dreamed about the future like it already had begunAnd every single one of em that said they'd ride, they rodeCarried me through the valley, helped me carry the loadNow we standing on the mountain that we talked about back thenAnd the realest part of all of it is doing it with themHere's to the ones who never switched, who never sold the codeWho carried half my weight when it was heavy on the roadWe made it, we made it, and we made it as a teamThe realest part of all the riches is the ones who shared the dreamWhen it's all said and done and they remember what I builtLet em say he kept his people, let em say he never tiltThe money's just a number but the bond is what is realThe only kind of wealth that time and tax could never stealSo pour one for the day ones, the few that held the lineThe realest flex I'll ever have is that the crew was mineDay onesStill the same from the floor to the roofWe split the empty plate, now we split the living proofDay ones, that's the only crew I move
