A forty ounce for breakfast gets a through the day I guess I shoulda had a V8 instead Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time When my fridge was full of booze but in my not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, with my ace boom homey Black I would the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to blitzed so eventually I got dissed And caught a shocker my supervisor said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I at my last check now my mind Is and depressed 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 this sack and And feel my problems shrink
And by now the rent's due in two But inside my that's just another problem brew can delete I got evicted to the point where the court martial to my door And said, "Get this kid, get your bags and You live here no more"
And now I'm ass out, I'm so hungry I like I'm gonna pass out I my brother 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 have no of my life I think I'll get lit So as my problems compile, I smile, oh yes Sippin' on that forty ounce leadin' me to a path of nowhere So as I think about tomorrow, I and say "A ounce for breakfast will get me through the day"
A forty ounce for breakfast gets a through the day I guess I shoulda rolled a joint up instead, like every time I start, I don't know when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all blurred and inside the ill behavin'
Coolin' my boys, no names need to be mentioned At a party with some brothers, I know I'm chillin' in some E and J With a forty OZ to wash the shit 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 head begin to hum aloud as the room spun, Next thing I know I blacked out woke up with vomit all over my talkin' out my ass I can't see straight but yet I quote
And I don't know what came over me, I started both my homies That I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' 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 shit ain't the I wish I had just one more chance to live day again I strain 'cause this bid was to find a friend And loose them to 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 wait and see if maybe the wounds will heal And I really mean a word I said though I can't prove that 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 make this day A forty ounce for breakfast can get me the day
