A ounce for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 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 Ave, with my ace boom homey Mark Black I would start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, I went to blitzed so eventually I got dissed And a shocker when 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 less the Why go job hunting When I can sit back and smoke sack and drink And my problems shrink away
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my mind just another problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point the court martial came to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your and split You don't here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I feel like I'm pass out I asked my brother for a handout and he me Though I knew he had
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 tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty ounce for breakfast will get me 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 don't when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all and inside talk the ill behavin'
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 a lot of marijuana now I need to sit down
I can't remember the last time I was this blew out of my My ears and head begin to hum 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 can't see straight but yet I
And I don't know what over me, I started dissin' both my homies That I used to with and now I'm askin' them to show me What they got not straight I don't know why I posed the challenge Now my ego is erupting as if I was Mt. Saint
Some was said 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 this bid was to find a true And loose them to booze in my system just ain't how I'm
I could 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 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 forty for, fuck one more forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for can get me through the day
