A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 anyway Let me my thought, something 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 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 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 hunting When I can sit back and smoke sack and drink And feel my shrink away
And by now the due in two weeks But inside my mind that's another problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the court came to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your bags and You live here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so damn 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 of my life I think 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 ounce for breakfast will 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 every time I start, I don't know it's time to say when Now my mental gets all 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 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 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 straight but yet I
And I don't know what came me, I started dissin' both my homies That I to freestyle with and now I'm askin' them to show 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
Some shit was said I know I can't erase and now ain't the same I wish I had just one more chance to live day again I strain 'cause this bid was to a true friend And loose them to booze in my just ain't how I'm livin'
Nothin' I could say to mend up how someone else feels And so I guess I gotta wait and see if maybe the wounds will And I really didn't mean a word I though I can't prove that Now the only thing that I can really say is, I out
And out I went and now and then I get and say A ounce for, nah, a forty ounce for, fuck one more forty, just one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for can get me through the day
