A forty ounce for breakfast gets a through the day I I shoulda had a V8 instead anyway Let me contemplate my thought, back to a time When my fridge was full of but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, with my ace homey Mark Black I would start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, I went to work blitzed so eventually I got And caught a shocker my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my last check now my Is stressed and I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a little excess the worry Why go job hunting When I can sit and smoke this sack and drink And feel my problems shrink
And by now the due in two weeks But inside my that's just another problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the court martial came to my And said, "Get this kid, get your and split You live here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I feel like I'm pass out I my brother for a handout and he hooked me I knew he had doubts
And rightfully so I had new shit to deal with I'm so I have no control of my life I think I'll get lit So as my problems compile, I smile, oh yes Sippin' on that forty ounce that's me to a path of nowhere So as I think about tomorrow, I and say "A forty ounce for breakfast will get me the day"
A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda rolled a joint up instead, Seems like time I start, I don't know when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all blurred and inside talk the ill
with my boys, no names need to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I don't know I'm in some E and J With a forty OZ to 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 begin to hum aloud as the room 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 don't know what came over me, I started dissin' both my That I used to with and now I'm askin' them to show me What they got not thinkin' straight I don't know why I posed the Now my ego is as if I was Mt. Saint Helen's
Some shit was said I know I can't erase and now shit the same I I had just one more chance to live that day again I 'cause this bid was to find a true friend And loose them to booze in my system just how I'm livin'
Nothin' I really say to mend up how someone else feels And so I guess I gotta and see if maybe the wounds will heal And I really didn't mean a word I said though I can't that Now the only thing that I can say is, I went out
And out I and now and then I get irate and say A forty for, nah, a forty ounce for, fuck Just one forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty for breakfast can get me through the day
