A ounce for breakfast gets a brother through the day I I shoulda had a V8 instead anyway Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time When my fridge was full of booze but in my not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, my ace boom homey Mark Black I would the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to work blitzed so eventually I got And caught a shocker when my said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my check now my mind Is and depressed I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a excess less the worry Why go job hunting When I can sit back and smoke this sack and And my problems 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 where the court martial came to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your and split You live here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so damn I feel like I'm pass out I asked my for a handout and he hooked me Though I knew he had
And so 'cause I had new shit to deal with I'm so confused I have no control of my life I I'll get lit So as my compile, I steady smile, oh yes Sippin' on that forty ounce that's me to a path of nowhere So as I think tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty for breakfast will get me through the day"
A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda rolled a up instead, anyway Seems like every I start, I don't know when it's time to say when Now my mental all blurred and inside talk the ill behavin'
Coolin' with my boys, no need to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I don't know I'm chillin' in E and J a forty OZ to wash the shit down And plus a lot of now I need to sit down
I can't the last time I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and head to hum aloud as the room spun, anyway thing 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 don't know came over me, I started dissin' both my homies I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' them to show me What they got not thinkin' straight I don't why I posed the challenge Now my ego is erupting as if I was Mt. Saint
Some shit was said I know I can't erase and now shit ain't the I wish I had just one chance to live that day again I 'cause this bid was to find a true friend And them to booze in my system just ain't how I'm livin'
Nothin' I could really say to mend up how else feels And so I guess I gotta wait and see if maybe the wounds heal And I really didn't mean a word I said though I can't prove Now the only thing that I can really say is, I out
And out I and now and then I get irate and say A forty ounce for, nah, a forty ounce for, Just one more forty, one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
