A ounce for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 instead Let me contemplate my thought, something back to a When my fridge was of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, with my ace boom Mark Black I would start the day off the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to work blitzed so I got dissed And caught a when my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I at my last check now my mind Is stressed and I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a little excess less the Why go job today? When I can sit back and smoke this and drink And feel my shrink away
And by now the due in two weeks But inside my mind that's just another problem can delete I got evicted to the point where the court martial to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your and split You don't live no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so damn I like I'm gonna pass out I my brother for a handout and he hooked me Though I he had doubts
And rightfully so 'cause I had new to deal with I'm so confused I no control of my life I think I'll get lit So as my compile, I steady smile, oh yes on that forty ounce that's leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I think tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty ounce for will get me through the day"
A forty ounce for breakfast gets a through the day I guess I shoulda rolled a joint up instead, Seems like every time I start, I know when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all and inside talk the ill behavin'
Coolin' with my boys, no need to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I don't I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to wash the down And plus a lot of marijuana now I need to sit
I can't remember the time I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and head begin to hum aloud as the spun, anyway Next I know I blacked out woke up with vomit all over my coat Start talkin' out my ass I see straight but yet I quote
And I know what came over me, I started dissin' both my homies That I used to freestyle and now I'm askin' them to show me What they got not thinkin' I don't know why I posed the challenge Now my ego is as if I was Mt. Saint Helen's
Some shit was said I know I can't and now shit ain't the same I wish I had just one chance to live that day again I strain 'cause this bid was to find a friend And loose them to booze in my system just ain't how I'm
Nothin' I could really say to mend up how someone feels And so I I gotta wait and see if maybe the wounds will heal And I really didn't mean a word I said I can't prove that Now the thing that I can really say is, I went out
And out I went and now and I get irate and say A forty ounce for, nah, a forty ounce for, one more forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
