Get You A Friend

about

This song was inspired by our friendship and culture of belonging. Are you a friend and an ally? Are you making space for all to shine? We love wordplay and games - close your eyes and imagine you're on a ride with us.

lyrics

CHORUS
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)….yeeea
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)....c’mon

VERSE
You’re the double to my dutch - the hop in my skotch
Always on time (count on it) like numbers on a watch
We go together like thank you and please
I bring the hug (what) you bring the squeeze (whooo)

You the spider to my itsy
The boots to my cats, see
The spy in my little eye - Toon to my looney
Yo-Yo….always coming back to me

I bring the ABC - you bring the 123
4 on the floor we got the dance and the freeze
The gummy to my worm - The chips to my salsa
You dip, I dip, we dip cuz we gotsta

You the twinkle to my star
Know the real me and the avatar
Skippin’ all the drama like skippin’ a rope
On your mark I’m ready I'm set - let’s go!!

PRE CHORUS
Who’s the one that’s got your back?
We’re the ones that got your back
Get you a friend that’s got it like that - eh!


CHORUS
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)….yeeea
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)....wooo
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)….yeeea
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)....c’mon

VERSE
Who’s in? You know that we need ya
We’ll all take turns playing follow the leader
The game ain’t right less we all got a spot
Wait a minute - SAY CHEESE! we’re all in the shot

You’re the kick - I’m the snare
Whose got the hi-hat?
Make noise, stomp your feet
Bump bump the boombap
Bump bump the boombap
Bump bump the boombap
Bump bump the boombap
Yea!

Take the mic - one time - join the cypher -
Pass the chalk - two times- We’re the writers
Look at us we don’t need one star of the show
It’s a galaxy - you know it - we shine - let’s go!

PRE CHORUS
Who’s the one that’s got your back?
We’re the ones that got your back
Get you a friend that’s got it like that - eh!

CHORUS
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)….yeeea
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)....wooo

We B F Forever
I’ll be that one that responds to the call
We B F Forever
I’ll be the one with the catch when you fall

BRIDGE
Calling out to the ones who know
Let ‘em know no one’s alone
I’ll be there when you need someone
Got your back - you’re wonderful

Spread the word when you sing this song
Be the one - show em they belong
I’ll be the friend who’s got your back
You - be the one - who’s got it like that - eh!

CHORUS
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)….yeeea
Get you a friend like this…. (like what)…. like this….(like what)....wooo

We B F Forever
I’ll be that one that responds to the call
We B F Forever
I’ll be the one with the catch when you fall
