A forty for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 anyway Let me contemplate my thought, something back to a When my fridge was of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, with my ace boom Mark Black I would the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to work blitzed so eventually I got And a shocker when my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my last 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 this sack and drink And my problems shrink away
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my mind that's just another brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the court martial came to my And said, "Get this kid, get bags 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 asked my brother for a handout and he me I knew he had doubts
And rightfully so 'cause I had new to deal with I'm so I have no control 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 of nowhere So as I about tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty 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 when time to say when Now my mental gets all and inside 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 OZ to wash the shit down And plus a lot of now I need to sit down
I can't remember the last time I was this blew out of my My ears and begin to hum aloud as the room spun, anyway Next thing I know I blacked out woke up with all over my coat Start talkin' out my ass I can't see but yet I quote
And I don't know what came over me, I dissin' both my homies That I used to freestyle with and now I'm them to show me What they got not thinkin' straight I don't know why I posed the 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 I had just one more chance to live that day again I strain 'cause 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 mend up how someone else And so I guess I gotta and see if maybe the wounds will heal And I really didn't mean a word I said I can't prove that Now the only thing 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, Just one more forty, one more, I'll make this last day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
