A forty ounce for breakfast gets a brother the day I guess I had a V8 instead 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 start the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to blitzed so eventually I got dissed And caught a when my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I stare at my last check now my Is and depressed I spell relief, S T I D E S, yes, with a excess less the worry Why go job today? When I can sit and smoke 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 problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the court martial to my door And said, "Get kid, get your bags and split You don't here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so damn I feel like I'm gonna out I asked my brother for a 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 control of my I think I'll get lit So as my compile, I steady smile, oh yes Sippin' on that forty that's leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I think about tomorrow, I and say "A forty for breakfast will get me through the day"
A ounce for breakfast gets a brother through the day I guess I shoulda rolled a joint up instead, Seems like every time I start, I know when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all and inside talk the ill behavin'
Coolin' 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 forty OZ to wash the down And a lot of marijuana now I need to sit down
I can't remember the last time I was this blew out of my My and head 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 started dissin' my homies That I used to freestyle with and now I'm them to show me What they got not thinkin' I don't know why I posed the challenge Now my ego is as if I was Mt. Saint Helen's
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 this bid was to find a true friend And loose to booze in my system just ain't how I'm livin'
Nothin' I could really say to mend up how else feels And so I guess I gotta wait and see if maybe the will heal And I really didn't mean a I said though I can't prove that Now the only thing I can really say is, I went out
And out I went and now and I get irate and say A ounce for, nah, a forty ounce for, fuck Just one more forty, just one more, make this last day A forty ounce for can get me through the day
