A forty ounce for breakfast gets a through the day I I shoulda had a V8 instead anyway Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time When my fridge was of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I back 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 blitzed so eventually I got And caught a shocker my supervisor 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, a little excess less the worry Why go job today? When I can sit back and smoke this sack and And feel my shrink away
And by now the due in two weeks But my mind that's just another problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the court martial came to my And said, "Get this kid, get your bags and You don't live no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I feel I'm gonna pass out I asked my for a handout and he hooked me Though I 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 that's leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I think tomorrow, I hesitate and say "A forty ounce for breakfast will get me the day"
A forty ounce for breakfast gets a brother the day I guess I rolled a joint up instead, anyway Seems like every I start, I don't know when it's time to say when Now my gets all blurred and inside talk the ill behavin'
with my boys, no names need to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I don't I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to wash the shit And plus a lot of marijuana now I to sit down
I can't remember the last I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and head begin to hum aloud as the room spun, Next thing I know I blacked out up with vomit all over my coat talkin' out my ass I can't see straight but yet I quote
And I don't what came over me, I started dissin' both my homies That I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' them to me What they got not straight I don't know why I posed the challenge Now my ego is erupting as if I was Mt. Helen's
Some was said I know I can't erase and now shit ain't the same I wish I had just one more chance to live day again I strain 'cause bid was to find a true friend And loose them to booze in my system just ain't how I'm
I could really say to mend up how someone else feels And so I guess I gotta wait and see if maybe the wounds heal And I really didn't mean a I said though I can't prove that Now the only thing that I can 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, one more, I'll make this last day A forty for breakfast can get me through the day
