VERSE
Im at my Best Friends Wedding, But I aint the best man,
Im just observing and im standing where the friends stand,
And as he leans in close and puts it on her left hand,
I sit here wondering about all their regrets fam,
The time he cheated if she knew would she have left man,
Or when he almost went to pen for shottin fake brands,
I could step in now, to save them all the pain,
But if i stepped in now, would things still be the same,
Or is it even my place, I don’t rightly know,
And this entire service is kinda dragging slow,
I look around the room, at all the happy faces,
And all the flashing lights, it all seems kind of tasteless,
But if this what you want, I guess i got your back,
Just remember when i say I Do, no turning back,
And I could see your brothers face like You could do better,
And your mum couldn’t be here so she left a letter,
To my second child, you know i Love you lots,
If your reading this then im not here I know it hurts,
But I just didn’t wanna see you make a big mistake,
Your marrying that man, and that man I hate,
Your my little girl, in fact your a queen,
He touches you again, then he gon’ deal with me,
We don’t care about his money and his diamond rings,
He put marks on your body like you was just a thing,
I told you over and over, but you wouldn’t listen,
You told your brother at night time, that he goes missing,
Is this the kinda love you want, im hoping not,
But just know im always here, I love you lots,
So now im at my best friends wedding, but i don’t like it,
But i kiss her on the cheek coz she so excited,
Then i step to the groom, and stare him in the eye,
And he staring back cocky, like I know this guy,
“You better look after her cuz” and he’s like “Cool”,
And then he reach for his phone, as if he got a call,
So now im with the bride, talking bout when I met her,
Im at my best friends wedding, Now she gone forever
