A ounce for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 instead Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time When my fridge was full of but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, with my ace boom Mark Black I would start the day off the sound of the fo' oh, crack I to work blitzed so eventually I got dissed And caught a shocker when my said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my check now my mind Is and depressed I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a little excess less the Why go job hunting I can sit back and smoke this sack and drink And feel my shrink away
And by now the due in two weeks But inside my mind that's just another problem brew can I got evicted to the point where the court came to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your and split You don't live no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I feel like I'm pass out I my brother for a handout and he hooked me I knew he had doubts
And rightfully so 'cause I had new shit to deal I'm so confused I have no control of my life I I'll get lit So as my compile, I steady smile, oh yes Sippin' on forty ounce that's leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I think tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty ounce for breakfast get me through the day"
A forty ounce for breakfast gets a brother the day I guess I shoulda rolled a joint up instead, Seems like every I start, I don't know when it's time to say when Now my gets 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 I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to wash the shit 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 begin to hum aloud as the room spun, anyway Next thing I know I blacked out woke up with vomit all over my 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 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 shit was said I know I erase and now shit ain't the same I I had just one more chance to live that day again I 'cause this bid was to find a true friend And them to booze in my system just ain't how I'm livin'
Nothin' I could really say to mend up how someone else And so I guess I wait and see if maybe the wounds will heal And I really didn't a word I said though I can't 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 forty ounce for, Just one more forty, just one more, make this last day A forty for breakfast can get me through the day
