Track Insight / Lyrics
(whispered)
You wanna know what keeps me alive?
Not my phone. Not my friends.
Not even my therapist.
...
Say hello to my little friend.
Woke up anxious, world on fire
Head a mess, my soul is tired
Reached right for my stainless steel
Twenty ounces, that's the deal
Twist the cap — click — that's the sound
Anxiety goes underground
Ice cold water, crystal clear
Baby, my salvation's here
Got a scratch from '23
That's a battle scar to me
Dropped it once inside the mall
Almost had a funeral, y'all
They don't get it, they don't know
Why I never let it go
Call me crazy, call me weird —
But my Hydro's always near
(big, anthemic, crowd chant)
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Sip, sip, sip until the bitter end
When the world goes dark and my mind won't bend
It's my emotional support — my water, my friend!
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Drip, drip, drip, I'mma recommend
Keep it filled up, baby, till the very end
My emotional support water bottle — amen!
Therapist said "Talk it out"
I said "Hydrate, that's my route"
Forty dollars for a session?
Nah, I'll chug and learn my lesson
Every meeting, every date
Little friend is on my plate
Restaurant, they ask for wine —
"Just water, thanks, I'm feeling fine"
Boss said "You bring that thing again?"
Yeah, I do — and it's my zen
Stanley, Hydro, Owala too
This ain't a trend, it's self-care, dude
They don't get it, they don't know
Why I never let it go
Judge me, hate me, think I'm weird —
But my bottle's always near
(repeat — bigger, with ad-libs)
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Sip, sip, sip until the bitter end
When the world goes dark and my mind won't bend
It's my emotional support — my water, my friend!
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Drip, drip, drip, I'mma recommend
Keep it filled up, baby, till the very end
My emotional support water bottle — amen!
(half-spoken, almost whispered)
Some people hold a rosary
Some people hold a hand
Some people need a cigarette
Some need to understand —
That I'm just trying to make it through
One sip, one day, one drip
And if you laugh, that's cool, that's fine —
But don't you touch my grip.
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Sip, sip, sip until the bitter end
When the world goes dark and my mind won't bend
IT'S MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT — MY WATER, MY FRIEND!
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
Drip, drip, drip, I'mma recommend
Keep it filled up, baby, till the very end
MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT WATER BOTTLE — AMEN!
Drip.
Drip.
Stay hydrated, y'all.
Say hello...
(bottle cap clicks)
...to my little friend.
