A forty ounce for gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 instead Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time my fridge was full of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I back on Willis Ave, with my ace boom homey Mark Black I start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I to work 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 less the worry Why go job today? When I can sit back and smoke this and drink And feel my problems 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 where 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 damn I feel like I'm gonna out I my brother for a handout and he hooked me Though I knew he had
And so 'cause I had new shit to deal with I'm so confused I have no control of my I think I'll get lit So as my compile, I steady 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 forty ounce for breakfast a brother through the day I guess I shoulda a joint up instead, anyway Seems like time I start, I don't know 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 know I'm chillin' in some E and J With a OZ to wash the shit down And plus a lot of marijuana now I need to sit
I can't remember the last time I was blew out of my cranium My ears and head begin to hum aloud as the spun, anyway thing I know I blacked out woke up with vomit all over my coat Start talkin' out my ass I see straight but yet I quote
And I don't know what came over me, I started both my homies That I used to with 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. Saint
Some shit was said I know I can't erase and now shit the same I wish I had just one more chance to that day again I 'cause this bid was to find a true 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 the wounds will heal And I really didn't mean a word I said though I can't that Now the only thing 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 forty for, fuck Just one more forty, just one more, I'll make last day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
