A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 instead Let me my thought, something back 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 homey Mark I would start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, I went to work blitzed so I got dissed And a shocker 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? 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 inside my mind that's just problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the court martial came to my And said, "Get this kid, get your and split You don't here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I like I'm gonna pass out I my brother for a handout and he hooked me Though I he had doubts
And rightfully so 'cause I had new shit to with I'm so confused I have no of my life I think I'll get lit So as my problems compile, I smile, oh yes Sippin' on that forty ounce that's leadin' me to a path of So as I think about tomorrow, I and say "A forty ounce for breakfast get me through 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 to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I know I'm chillin' in some E and J a forty OZ to wash the shit down And plus a lot of now I need to sit down
I can't remember the last 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 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 That I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' them to me What they got not thinkin' I don't know why I posed the challenge Now my ego is erupting as if I was Mt. Saint
shit was said I know I can't erase and now shit ain't the same I wish I had just one more to live that day again I strain this bid was to find a true friend And loose them to booze in my system just ain't how I'm
Nothin' I really say to mend up how someone else feels And so I guess I gotta and see if maybe 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 went and now and I get irate and say A forty ounce for, nah, a forty for, fuck one more forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
