Through the weather the storms My n***a will always be my n***a Through the weather the storms Through the weather the storms My n***a will always be my n***a Through the weather the storms Through the weather the storms My n***a will always be my n***a Through the weather the storms There was a thug I knew in Cleveland strugglin hard to survive He wanted the finer things in life Whatever the streets could provide Hooked up with the killers slash dealers started To grind and reside Slept on the streets and stayed On the block with a bottle of rocks and a nine Gathered his homies started a crew stood On the corners in sloo Way back in 1989 when they wore flats In they shoes Before there was Had him a gun in the bag with his books And took it to class and he'd shoot Whoo suddenly he was the man everyone knew He was gettin that money Brand new jewelry bought him a car at 14 And everything lovely Had him a stash dreams of upper class cash In his pocket to spend Had it so good had it so hood man I wish I'da been there And one day the po'-po' was on him He couldn't escape even though he was quick They offered a deal but just like a thug He was what he was he wasn't no snitch He went to jail did all of his time back In the Cleveland this time with a dream He started a group called Bone Thugs And wanted all of us on his team That's my n***a
