A forty ounce for breakfast a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 anyway Let me contemplate my thought, back to a time When my fridge was of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, with my ace homey Mark Black I would start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, I went to work so eventually I got dissed And caught a shocker when my said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I at my last check now my mind Is stressed and I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a little excess the worry Why go job hunting When I can sit back and smoke sack and drink And feel my problems away
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my mind that's just another problem brew can I got evicted to the point where the court martial to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your and split You live here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I feel like I'm gonna out I asked my for a handout and he hooked me I knew he had doubts
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 that's me to a path of nowhere So as I about tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty ounce for breakfast get me through the day"
A forty ounce for gets a brother through 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 mental gets all blurred and talk the ill behavin'
Coolin' with my boys, no need to be mentioned At a party some brothers, I don't know I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to wash the down And a lot of marijuana now I need to sit down
I can't remember the time I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and head begin to hum as the room spun, anyway thing 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 came over me, I started dissin' both my homies That I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' to show me they got not thinkin' straight 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 I can't erase and now shit ain't the same I wish I had just one more chance to live that day I strain 'cause this bid was to find a true 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 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 only that I can really say is, I went out
And out I went and now and then I get and say A ounce for, nah, a forty ounce for, fuck Just one more forty, just one more, I'll this last day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
