A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 anyway Let me contemplate my thought, back to a time When my fridge was full of booze but in my pocket not one
I remember back on Ave, with my ace boom homey Mark Black I would the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to work so eventually I got dissed And caught a 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 the worry Why go job hunting When I can sit back and this sack and drink And feel my shrink away
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my mind that's just another brew can delete I got evicted to the point the court martial came to my door And said, "Get this kid, get bags and split You don't here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I feel like I'm gonna out I asked my for a handout and he hooked me Though I knew he had
And rightfully so 'cause I had new shit to deal 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 leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I about tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty ounce for breakfast get me through the day"
A ounce for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda a joint up instead, anyway Seems like every time I start, I don't know when it's to say when Now my gets all blurred and inside talk the ill behavin'
with my boys, no names need to be mentioned At a party with brothers, I don't know I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to the shit down And plus a lot of marijuana now I to sit down
I can't remember the time I was this blew out of my cranium My and head begin to hum aloud as the room spun, anyway Next thing I know I out woke up with vomit all over my coat Start talkin' out my ass I can't see but yet I quote
And I know what came 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 thinkin' straight I don't 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 this bid was to find a true And loose them to in my system just ain't how I'm livin'
Nothin' I could say to mend up how someone 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 I can't prove that Now the only thing that I can say is, I went out
And out I went and now and then I get and say A forty for, nah, a forty ounce for, fuck Just one more forty, just one more, I'll this last day A ounce for breakfast can get me through the day
