Yelawolf - Best Friend ft. Eminem (Lyric Video) 

Eminem MURDERED this track. I've just heard it for the first time and my brain can't comprehend how good that verse was. He uses vocals like no one else and we all know he raps like no one else.

God damn that wordplay. R.I.P Big Proof

Yelawolf is one of the most diverse artists I've ever heard. I love how he's a down south Alabama boy who often raps over rock instrumentals, many times throwing in some country and singing catchy and beautiful hooks all at once. Then add Eminem to this and it's an amazing track.

One of the best Em verses Ive heard in a really long time.

Em, Proof is proud of you, don't you ever doubt it.

amazing

Eminem killed it with the lyrics :) Simply the best rapper in the world!

I hate it when ignorant people judge Eminem but never heard songs like this. Wow, this is THE ONE! 🙌

To the father, son and holy spirit. I hold you nearest. I got a best friend. Those lines beam my heart. Gods here for us always.

'Like Biggie rockin with Tupac in a Suit talkin' to Proof'

Love how they make a hard core rap be so deep and meaningful. Awesome song about God being a best friend.

all of you are missing the bigger picture here....its not about how either of them are rapping or how good they are or are not.....for them to put out a song with such a strong religious tone is what I truly find amazing and have more respect for both artists than ever

EM & YW THA BEST!!!

I love the darkness in this song, and how the vocals on Yelawolf comforts you in an unnerving way, making it that much more epic. Eminem's verse MURDERED! Great combination!

When you make a song featuring eminem... It isint your song anymore

Damn, Eminem is like a fucking dragon, he is spitting hooot lava!!

My son and my father listen to this together! It hits so different and means so much!!!!!! Father, son, and the Holy Spirit

"Best Friend" (feat. Eminem) [Verse 1 - Yelawolf:] Ain't never been much of the church type But I believe in the last days I walk through Hell almost every night But I believe it's a pathway Say boy, what you doin' with your life With those tattoos on your face? Say boy, you know that you'll pay the price Well, I guess I'll see when I head that way [Hook - Yelawolf:] To the father son and holy spirit I hold you nearest My best friend, best friend Let the trumpets blow with your appearance I can almost hear it My best friend, best friend When you wish me Hell upon my soul and spirit Behold these lyrics I got a best friend, best friend Yeah, I got a best friend, best friend, yeah [Verse 2 - Yelawolf:] I don't know much about Holy Bibles But I grew up in the Bible Belt I put my love for a woman on idle Because I got beat with my mama's belt But I learned from my mistakes Try hard to respect people for what they believing in But if you spit on my fucking grave And wish me Hell then I wish you well I'mma send you straight up to my best friend [Hook] [Verse 3 - Eminem:] God, please could you arm me with the armor To calm me when there's drama like Gandhi Could have gone the other way many times Could have turned Dalai with the lama But I squashed my beefs and things seem to be looking decent recently, But don't jinx it It's like Clint Eastwood looking for peace Though maybe not finna enta' the priesthood, But at least should make an attempt to show some remorse And to be some sorta repenter For the people I've been a menace ta' Not a preacher, but a shit starter and finisher Enta' the mind of a thick skinned, but a short temper This patience of mine is thinner Than twine is when I get attacked So I might say something back that might offend you So if you don't like when I rap Of what I have to say on the mic then you Might wanna act just like quarterbacks And take a fuckin' hike when I snap cause I'm a sinner (I got a best friend, best friend) Plus balls and intestines And they never been yes men They gon' tell me when I'm fuckin' up The minute I'm ever giving it less than I'm about to vomit and I can feel it coming Cause failure's something I can barely stomach And I only listen to my guts So unless you're my fuckin' belly button Don't tell me nothin' You ain't my (best friend, best friend) Who you think I'm talking 'bout? Lifts me up when I'm down and out Still look to him without a doubt Still got a (best friend, best friend) Shout it out like there's never been a louder mouth Should have never been allowed a mouth Now that I got a higher power Now when I black out power outage They powerless, but they crowd around They tend to flock like shepherds the black sheep But I'll be the worst thing that these motherfuckers ever herd When I'm counted out You be D.O.A., they'll announce But pronounce you dead when they sound it out So prepare for a rival with your arch enemy Surrounds you now He's all around you Not even the doctor's at the hospital Are gonna shigy-shocked you back to life It's in piggy possible to revive you That's word to the digy doc Stigy stopping is not an option Something I'm not gonna do I'm the Iggy Pop of hip-hop when I walk in the booth Dawg, I'm the truth like Biggie rockin' with Tupac in the suit Talking to Proof dropping a deuce Fill up a syllable clip like a re-fillable script, cock it and shoot And who do you think's my Glock that I use That I pull from to get my strength up against these haters And he'll be waiting at the gate When you get sprayed up, sending you hoes straight up To deal with my (best friend, best friend) [Hook]

This album in my opinion is better than Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly, both are excellent, but for me this one has the edge in diversity and style.

Not even the doctors at the hospital Are gonna shiggy-shock you back to life It's in piggy possible to revive you That's word to the digy-Doc Stiggy-stopping and that's not an option Something I'm not gonna do I'm the Iggy Pop of hip-hop when I walk in the booth Dawg, I'm the truth like Biggie rockin' with Tupac in the suit Talking to Proof dropping a deuce Fill up a syllable clip like a refillable script, cock and I shoot. DAMN

Yelawolf and Eminem never disappoint...

my laptop freezes when eminem raps !!!!! damn he is anti-processor.....

Stunning song, Eminem is on another level.

Praise Jesus ❤

Whenever they collab it's AMAZING.....Great duo on each song......A LEGEND and a RISING STAR.....Great combo.....

Em is a legend *o*

Better than Young Thug's best friend.

Dear Iggy Azalea, this is how you do it.

this is definitly one of em's best verses to date

One of my favorite Em tracks, this works wonders in the Gym. When Em hops in you know you are gonna squeeze more reps.

It excites me to know that my childhood idol and the man I worshipped during about 5 years of my life has decided to put out a track that points to Christ. His voice has so much "pull" he could do a lot of work for God's kingdom. I pray that he will use it and not retire. That would be incredible, but we'll see what God has in store

That was sick when he said your enemies are surrounding you and his voice bounced back and forth.. The whole verse was insanity. This guy is a special talent. Once in a lifetime.

So glad to hear a song about God coming from Yela and Em, +RESPECT

Its GREAT that these mainstream lyricist are "Not Afraid" to speak about their devotion or beliefs in God. There is too many "artists" (I say that smh) are too busy riding the Dark Horse, or having "Hoes love me like satan" the devil is in our face and speakers but God is everywhere and everything. Im happy that my dudes give praise to our Father. RIP Proof

Funny how Eminem showed that he mastered the art of flow and making your head bob and moved on to other things... and all these commentators have convinced themselves that he can't just wake up and decide to go back to legendary flows if he wanted to. He explains himself in other songs.. he basically had no competition at all so he can move on and try other things because he was bored. Didn't Michael Jordan try out baseball for this reason? Anyway, this song is amazing. His choppy rap in its own way is approaching how good his smooth rap was.

Can we give this song a Grammy already?

Eminem's verse is definitely mic drop worthy. 10/10. Its my fav part of the song.

I just realized when it said to the father son and Holy Spirit it was in a cross shape and if you don’t believe me look at this 1:57

Ghandi could've gone the other way. That line though 🔥🔥🔥

best song of 2015 yelawolf is so much underrated omg

Fight with your heart

EMINEM HIP HOP NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER

Nicki Minaj, you should take notes...

I'm happy Em found spirituality. Just goes to show you how shit your life is or what your beliefs, in the end truth prevails.

This guy is a lyrical genius

To all those are questioning Eminem's faith with God , do your research before you point out false points .Eminem didn't grow up with much of a religious influence. He has stated that, as of late, he's become more religious and prays frequently.Also said:I definitely pray a lot more than I used to. I don’t feel like I’m crazy wacky religious. But I do believe in God, and I do pray.

I'm new to listen to yelawolf but what I've heard of him I am totally feeling. Eminem is a all time fav and just when you think he has nothing left her comes through like a tornado and blows my mind again and again. Love this.

By this verse he confirmed he's a fucking legend. btw nice attention to detail in song like the 3D sound in the "he's all around you"

This song is dope and both Em's and Yela's lyrics are fire!

Eminem wrote Yelawolf's verse and chorus...he said it in the video.

Eminem is the ONLY reason I dropped by the page.

First time I listened to this I was walking through the largest graveyard in my province.... Had a weird feeling to it... Won't forget it ever.

best rapper ever... RAP GOD!!! LEGEND

eminem :-* u r rap god man :-*

This is Eminem’s best verse By Far!! Wow!

To this day the Eminem rule still stands. When he's featured on your song, it's not yours anymore.

I just LOVE this new style of Yelawolf, i can't wait for the full album! Eminem was awesome as always, of course!

Omg, i love This 🙈😱😍 Em is a god and yela is great

Guys This Is Really About God And That's Good Because God Is The Bests, Best Friend I've Ever Met 💓💓💓💓

Em's thought pattern and the way his mind works is next level, his subliminal dismantling of lil wayne is a testament to that, I mean, to diss the dude right to his face and pretty much make wayne a hype man on his own diss track, but to diss wayne so covertly that by the time he figured it out it was too late. After those few song they did together hit the radio and people started to talk wayne was quiet and didn't put much music out. probably felt like somebody picked the world up and dropped it on his head. thats some straight up mad scientist type thinking

I was homeless waiting for my wife to get out of jail and addicted to Crack cocain the first time I heard this song. All I can say is yelawolf and Eminem saved my life that night

Hi. I know you won't probably read it, but I give it a try. Yesterday my dad got rushed to the hospital because he was almost bleeding out in front of me. I'm 16 and I'm still in shock. I just wanted to thank you for the song. It really keeps me going and thinking more positive than I would be thinking. All my dad said to me was that he will never come back home alive. This song really touched me. I'm really at the end of everything. I tried to go to school today but I couldn't. All I could do was listening to your songs. They keep me alive and at least a bit positive. As much as I can be in this situation. I just love you and I would love to thank you for everything you have done for me through your music. I was a fan and will be a fan forever. You just give me the strength right now that I need. Thanks.

AINT NOBODY FUCKING WITH THAT FLOW

I'm fucking speechless.

That hook still gives me chills.

The lyrics to this really hits you

Split the money with the rightful Owner

I think it's awesome that Yela and Em showed their transparency on this track about their faith in God. It's good to hear how God is working in their lives and in hip hop. Hip hop needs more of this!!

Lord jamar says eminem isn't one of the best lyricist on vlad tv when they shut the camera off ....you'll hear him say GOT EEEM !!

To the father Son And holy spirit I hold you nearest .

Need that love story album 4/21 👊👊👊

Girlfriend just broke up with me I'm devastated And this song is just what I need to feel better.

This song have goob vibe! #yelawolf #eminem #bestfriend

Remember lightning bolts to lead the path.period

It really reminds me of "Guts over fear" and "Fine Line"

This song changed my life!

SO MANY ADS LET ME JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG.

"might wanna act just like quarterbacks and take a fuckin' hike when I snap" - Only Eminem would come up with something like that. He's a fucking genius!

That's the best eminem verse

i love this song it tells everything about my life well most of what happend to me in my life

eminem i love u man...........

Yelawolf Created the song

3:50 Eminem killed it he's so good

I know this song is about God. But when i hear Ems verse all of me feels likes hes talking to proof 😔.

This is what happens when you mix the rap god and rap jesus

Beautiful song, wonderful meaning

3:21 He says"shout it out, like there's never been a louder mouth " And in the next sentence he says"shouldn't never been allowed "a mouth". But instead it is " shouldn't never been allowed I am out" Mistake!!!!

but Honestly Eminem is The fastest rapper in the world

Biblical rap, especially biblical esoteric rap/hiphop is a beautiful combination.

🎶🎶 loved the lyrics Totally have my higher power to guide me through this so called life! Better believe we all have a best friend waiting at the heaven gates

Guys if you think eminem murdered this song listen to speedom which came out today he raps faster then this and also this song is awesome!

How did Eminem even write ✍️ this verse?? It’s beyond me man.

that bullet speed line at 3.01 oh my god

EMINEM&YELAWOLF!

Cant wait for the video :D

I wonder how many people realize that when eminem is referring to his best friend, he is still actually talking about big proof

I love how he start his verses, the second 2 lines or so

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

This song will help a lot of people! The lyrics are so powerful from both yela and em! Much love guys good job!

HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW 3:11 Lady's and gentlemen I can honestly say I BEEN SAVED 🙏 ONLY THE LORD BREATH NEW LIFE INTO ME
