A ounce for breakfast gets a brother through the day I I shoulda had a V8 instead anyway Let me contemplate my thought, something to a time When my was full of booze but in my pocket not one dime
I remember back on Willis Ave, my ace boom homey Mark Black I would the day off hearin' the sound of the fo' oh, crack I went to work so eventually I got dissed And caught a shocker when my said, "You're dismissed"
Now as I at my last check now my mind 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 and smoke this sack and drink And feel my problems 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 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 gonna out I asked my brother for a handout and he me Though I knew he had
And rightfully so I had new shit to deal with I'm so confused I have no control of my life I think 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 ounce for breakfast will get me through the day"
A forty ounce for breakfast gets a through the day I guess I rolled a joint up instead, anyway Seems like every time I start, I know when it's time to say when Now my mental gets all blurred and talk the ill behavin'
Coolin' with my boys, no names need to be At a with some brothers, I don't know I'm chillin' in some E and J a forty OZ to wash the shit down And a lot of marijuana now I need to sit down
I can't remember the last I was this blew out of my cranium My ears and begin to hum aloud as the room spun, anyway Next thing I know I blacked out up with vomit all over my coat Start out my ass I can't see straight but yet I quote
And I don't know what over me, I started dissin' both my homies I used to freestyle with and now I'm askin' them to show me What they got not thinkin' straight I don't know why I posed the Now my ego is as if I was Mt. Saint 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 that day I strain this bid was to find a true friend And loose them to booze in my system just how I'm livin'
I could really say to mend up how someone else feels And so I guess I gotta wait and see if maybe the will heal And I really didn't 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 and now and then I get irate and say A forty ounce for, nah, a forty ounce for, Just one more forty, just one more, I'll this last day A forty for breakfast can get me through the day
