Waka Flocka is known for his freestyle'd remixes, but his latest is surprising, as the Brick Squad rapper has decided to spit some heartfelt raps over Kanye West's "Real Friends." Flocka begins the track reminiscing about old friends, expressing how he wishes they'd stop thuggin' "'cuz we got children." He goes on to touch on just about everything going on in his life and career, including his foray into EDM as well as veganism. 

He still brings the ad-libs despite the relatively slow tempo, and a little over halfway through the song, Waka stops rapping and begins to shout out his "Real Friends" while hyping up his forthcoming album, Flockaveli 2. For those unaware, the melancholy "Real Friends" production comes from Kanye, Boi-1da, Frank Dukes, and Havoc

Flocka fans: Make sure to link with HNHH on Snapchat (@hnhhsnaps) before tomorrow at 6pm EST, when Waka will take over to provide a live experience of his 4/20 festivities. 

Quotable Lyrics

Mama had the recipe
Directly, she the one who taught me
Never let 'em get the best of me 
But I'm the one who got it out the mud and invest in me
These pussies can't fuck with me
I took 808s across the globe and paved the way for all my clones
Waka is a rolling stone, where I lay my hat my home
