A forty ounce for gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 anyway Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time When my fridge was of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I remember on Willis Ave, with my ace boom homey Mark Black I start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to work so eventually I got dissed And caught a when my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my last 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 When I can sit back and this 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 the court martial came to my door 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 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 to deal with I'm so confused I have no control of my I think I'll get lit So as my problems compile, I smile, oh yes Sippin' on that forty 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 rolled a joint up instead, anyway Seems like every time I start, I don't know when it's to say when Now my mental gets all and inside talk the ill behavin'
with my boys, no names need to be mentioned At a party with 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 marijuana now I need to sit
I remember the last time I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and head begin to hum as the room spun, anyway Next thing I know I blacked out woke up with vomit all over my Start out my ass I can't see straight but yet I quote
And I don't know what came over me, I started dissin' my homies That I used to freestyle 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. Helen's
Some shit was said I know I can't erase and now shit the same I wish I had one more chance to live that day again I strain 'cause this bid was to a true friend And loose to booze in my system 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 said I can't prove that Now the only 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 Just one more forty, just one more, I'll make this day A forty for breakfast can get me through the day
