A forty ounce for breakfast a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 anyway Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time When my fridge was full of booze but in my not one dime
I remember back on Ave, with my ace boom homey Mark Black I would start the day off hearin' the of the fo' oh, crack I went to work blitzed so I got dissed And caught a shocker my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I at my last 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? When I can sit back and smoke this sack and And feel my problems shrink
And by now the rent's due in two But my mind 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 live here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I like I'm gonna pass out I asked my 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 no control of my life I think 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 think about tomorrow, I and say "A forty for breakfast will get me through the day"
A forty ounce for gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda a joint up instead, anyway Seems like every time I start, I know when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all blurred and inside talk the ill
with my boys, no names need to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I know I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to wash the shit And plus a lot of marijuana now I to sit down
I can't the last time I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and head begin to hum aloud as the room spun, Next I know I blacked out woke up with vomit all over my coat talkin' out my ass I can't see straight but yet I quote
And I don't know what over me, I started dissin' both my homies That I 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 shit was said I know I can't and now shit ain't 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 could really say to 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 I said though I can't prove that Now the thing that I can really say is, I went out
And out I and now and then I get irate and say A forty ounce for, nah, a forty ounce for, one more forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for can get me through the day
