A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I had a V8 instead 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 on Willis 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 now my mind Is stressed and I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a little less the worry Why go job hunting When I can sit back and smoke this sack and And my problems shrink away
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my that's just another problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point the court martial came to my door And said, "Get kid, get your bags and split You don't live no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I like I'm gonna pass out I asked my brother for a handout and he me Though I knew he had
And rightfully so 'cause I had new shit to 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 forty ounce that's leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I about tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A ounce for breakfast will get me through the day"
A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda rolled a joint up instead, like every time I start, I don't know when it's time 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 with some brothers, I don't know I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to wash the down And plus a lot of marijuana now I need to sit
I can't remember the last 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 blacked out woke up 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 freestyle with and now I'm askin' to show me What they got not thinkin' straight I don't know why I the challenge Now my ego is as if I was Mt. Saint Helen's
shit was said I know I can't erase and now shit ain't the same I I had just one more chance to live that day again I strain 'cause this bid was to find a true And loose them to booze in my system just how I'm livin'
Nothin' I could say to mend up how someone else feels And so I I gotta wait and see if maybe the wounds will heal And I really didn't mean a word I said though I can't prove Now the thing that 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 Just one forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
