A forty ounce for breakfast gets a brother the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 anyway Let me contemplate my thought, back to a time my fridge was full of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, my ace boom homey Mark Black I start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to work so eventually I got dissed And caught a shocker my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my last check now my 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 sack and drink And my problems shrink away
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 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 and he hooked me Though I he had doubts
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 problems compile, I smile, oh yes Sippin' on that forty that's leadin' 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 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 time to say Now my mental gets all blurred and talk the ill behavin'
Coolin' with my boys, no names to be mentioned At a party some brothers, I don't know I'm chillin' in some 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 begin 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 can't see but yet I quote
And I don't know came over me, I started dissin' both my homies That I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' 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 shit was said I know I can't erase and now shit ain't the I wish I had just one more chance to live day again I strain this bid was to find a true friend And loose them to booze in my just ain't how I'm livin'
I could really say to mend up how someone else feels And so I guess I wait 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 really say is, I out
And out I went and now and then I get and say A forty ounce for, nah, a forty for, fuck Just one more forty, just one more, I'll make last day A forty for breakfast can get me through the day
