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, with my ace boom homey Mark I start 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 last now my mind Is stressed and I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a excess less the worry Why go job today? When I can sit and smoke this sack and drink And feel my problems away
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my mind that's just another brew can delete I got to the point where the court martial came to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your bags and You don't here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I like I'm gonna pass out I asked my for a handout and he hooked me Though I he had doubts
And rightfully so 'cause I had new shit to deal I'm so confused I 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 leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I think tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A ounce for breakfast will get me through the day"
A forty ounce for gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda rolled a up instead, anyway Seems like every time I start, I know when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all blurred and inside talk the ill
Coolin' with my boys, no need to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I don't know I'm in some E and J With a OZ to wash the shit down And plus a lot of marijuana now I to sit down
I can't remember the last time I was this 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 talkin' out my ass I can't see straight but yet I quote
And I don't 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' straight I know why I posed the challenge Now my ego is erupting as if I was Mt. Helen's
Some shit was I know I can't erase and now shit ain't the same I wish I had just one more chance to live that day I strain 'cause bid was to find a true friend And loose them to in my system just ain't how I'm livin'
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 didn't mean a word I said though I can't prove that Now the only thing I can really say is, I went out
And out I went and now and then I get and say A forty ounce for, nah, a ounce for, fuck one more forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty for breakfast can get me through the day
