A forty ounce for breakfast gets a through the day I I shoulda had a V8 instead anyway Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time my fridge was full of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Ave, with my ace boom homey Mark Black I would start the day off the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to blitzed so eventually I got dissed And caught a when my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my check now my mind Is and depressed I relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a little excess less the worry Why go job today? I can sit back and smoke this sack and drink And my problems shrink away
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my mind that's just problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the 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 damn I feel like I'm pass out I my brother for a handout and he hooked me Though I knew he had
And rightfully so 'cause I had new to deal with I'm so confused I have no control of my life I think get lit So as my compile, I steady smile, oh yes on that forty ounce that's leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I think about tomorrow, I and say "A ounce for breakfast will 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 when it's time to say when Now my mental all blurred and inside talk the ill behavin'
Coolin' with my boys, no names need to be At a party with some brothers, I don't know I'm chillin' in E and J With a OZ to wash the shit down And a lot of marijuana now I need to sit down
I can't remember the last I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and head to hum aloud as the room spun, anyway Next thing I know I blacked out woke up with vomit all over my Start out my ass I can't see straight but yet I quote
And I don't know what came me, I started dissin' both my homies I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' them to show me What got not thinkin' straight I don't know why I posed the challenge Now my ego is erupting as if I was Mt. Helen's
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 day again I strain 'cause this bid was to find a friend And loose them to booze in my system ain't how I'm livin'
Nothin' I really say to mend up how someone else feels And so I guess I gotta wait and see if maybe the will heal And I really didn't mean a word I said though I prove that Now the thing that I can really say is, I went out
And out I went and now and I get irate 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
