What is the song “My Friend” by Bella Shmurda about?

In the song “My Friend,” Bella Shnurda is apologizing to his friends, fans, and all those who love him. His apology is based on his lack of communication and availability for them. Bella feels he has offended them, or they may think they have offended him for staying away from them.

But the artist assures them that they didn’t offend him, and he is constantly thinking about them, even though he is not in communication. He says his lack of communication and non-availability is because of his tight schedule. He is extremely busy as a top-rated musician which sees him traveling around the world and making lots of money.

Bella further implores them not to say “Goodbye,” with a voice of finality to stay away from him forever or never check up on him again. According to Bella, if he says “Goodbye,” to anyone, he is not saying with a voice of finality, but to check on them, and assure them that they are still on his mind.
