“The Best Ships” Lyrics

Inspired by a midnight drive through my town with my crew. The best ships are friendships.

I stay with my

I stay with my

I stay with my

Crew, crew, crew

The best ships are friendships

I wanna sail with you

Broken links

Will float or sink

But I’ll stay with my crew

Ohh, ohh

I wanna sail with you

Though our hope

May float or sink

I’ll stay with my crew

My crew

Without my crew

I would have walked the plank!

Without my friends

Would have gone off course and sank

Now I’m captain of my soul, and I’d die to live

Me and my friends roll deep in our pirate ship

It’s dead man walking every morning

With the sun up in the corner

Till they send me to the coroner

I’m calling all my voyagers

Stand deployed, trample Troy

I won’t abandon my boys till it’s “Land Ahoy!”

I spit sand slicker than a flintlock quick hand

Let the industry forgive me, when I sin bad

There’s only one U shaped survivor’s raft

But I have only one I like a pirate patch

If we get landlocked, we’ll find a way back here

We were sipping rum when we couldn’t even grow black beards

I’ll never get lost in the stormy depths

Cuz I couldn’t afford a feature

But I brought my friends

The best ships are friendships

I wanna sail with you

Broken links

Will float or sink

But I’ll stay with my crew

Ohh, ohh

I wanna sail with you

Though our hope

May float or sink

I’ll stay with my crew

So when the water’s growing colder

The coast is barely in view

And when the ice we know is broken

And ghosts have landed the moon

That’s when the only known survivors are those who stand with the few

No matter how it goes down, I won’t abandon my

Cuz I rap hot

Every single time that a track drops

Mick Jagger’s got nothing on what Calico Jack’s got

10,000 hours? I got 20,000 leagues

And I couldn’t afford a choir

So I just brought my team

The best ships are friendships

I wanna sail with you

Broken links

Will float or sink

But I’ll stay with my crew

Ohh, ohh

I wanna sail with you

Though our hope

May float or sink

I’ll stay with my crew

The best ships are friendships

I wanna sail with you

Broken links

Will float or sink

But I’ll stay with my crew

Ohh, ohh

I wanna sail with you

Though our hope

May float or sink

I’ll stay with my crew

Cuz there’s a 

Bird in Los Angeles reminding me to fly

And a

Girl from the desert

Telling me to dry my eyes

And a

Whole lot of friends

That won’t let me die inside

Write this on my casket

Hi, I’m alive

I survived

I’m alive

I survived

Cuz I am not a sailor

But lord knows I’ve been deep before

We don’t meet our heroes

Look we are the people we adore

If we have our friends we won the Grammys

We don’t need awards

So thanks for all the great adventures

Mine can finally be restored

Thanks to you

My adventure finally can be restored

I see it now when we record

Hear it in your genius chords

Up on my DIY shit

I never thought I would need you more

The deepest musical connections cannot legally divorce

I’d take a bullet for you kid

I’d catch it in between my lips

And spit it back out over a beat of yours

Though our hope

May float or sink

I’ll stay with my crew
