Homeboy (Explicit) - Coolio |
| [00:01.67] |
A homeboy is somebody that got your back |
| [00:07.00] |
Whether you right or wrong |
| [00:08.87] |
Somebody that excepts you for what you are |
| [00:12.31] |
Not what you got on what you can do for them |
| [00:16.33] |
If you lucky enough to have some then |
| [00:18.95] |
You know what I'm talkin bout |
| [00:21.03] |
Friends how many of us have them |
| [00:23.03] |
And not that many |
| [00:24.03] |
The chances of meeting someone these days you can trust is skinny |
| [00:26.59] |
But it seems there really ain't a damn thing you can do |
| [00:28.66] |
Cause since the seventies it seems everybody been rolling with a crew |
| [00:31.72] |
A team a gang a posse or some type-a click |
| [00:34.28] |
And if your firm ain't thick |
| [00:35.60] |
Then your squad becomes vixed |
| [00:36.91] |
Be extra careful or the ones you call your partna |
| [00:39.10] |
Cause what they really is is a busta out to rob ya |
| [00:41.91] |
And be weary of strangers bearing your God and gifts |
| [00:44.16] |
And a wolf in sheeps clothing |
| [00:45.60] |
Cause some of y'all ain't knowing |
| [00:47.36] |
Me and you go back like roaches in the projects |
| [00:49.55] |
And we done been through things they still ain't even thought of yet |
| [00:52.30] |
A good homie is hard to come by |
| [00:53.86] |
But most times you get done by the ones you trust most |
| [00:56.43] |
So I gotta raise a toast |
| [00:57.74] |
To my tried and tested and straight up for real dose |
| [01:00.30] |
Pour yourself some exol this ones here for you loc |
| [01:02.61] |
I don't fly on air walk on water (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [01:05.00] |
Uh but I'm damn sure your partner (Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [01:07.82] |
You can count on me to the end (Oh-yeah) |
| [01:10.06] |
Thick and thin ni**a |
| [01:11.70] |
You can call me homeboy (You can call me homeboy) |
| [01:13.26] |
If I got a quarter then you got a dime (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [01:15.95] |
And you can call me up no matter what the time (Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [01:18.38] |
If you watch my back then I'll watch yours ni**a |
| [01:21.56] |
You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) |
| [01:23.25] |
Now I done met a lot of haters in my lifetime |
| [01:25.18] |
That I would of smoked if i would of had a Tek 9 |
| [01:28.50] |
But here I stand as a man and I'm free to say |
| [01:30.81] |
I'm hella glad that my momma didn't raise me that way |
| [01:33.19] |
And the homies I grew up with |
| [01:34.81] |
Locs I threw up with |
| [01:36.37] |
Is the kind of fools that you don't want to buck with |
| [01:39.06] |
Why does it seem that the good brothers die |
| [01:41.50] |
And the evil brothers live |
| [01:43.00] |
And prosper and multiply |
| [01:44.13] |
Pass the Hennessey to the left hand side |
| [01:46.69] |
Want some many dirt for the homies that expired |
| [01:49.43] |
I hope you rest in peace |
| [01:50.56] |
And when it's time for my release |
| [01:52.13] |
I'll meet you at the crossroads dippin in the low-low |
| [01:54.88] |
But until then I'ma keep my rolls slow |
| [01:56.88] |
My flow on tight and stay rollin with the 4-0 |
| [02:00.27] |
This is comin from the one and only |
| [02:02.02] |
And like MC Shan said "I'll never leave you lonely" |
| [02:05.08] |
I don't fly on air walk on water (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [02:07.64] |
But I'm damn sure your partner (Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [02:10.27] |
You can count on me to the end (Oh-yeah) |
| [02:12.64] |
Thick and thin ni**a |
| [02:13.83] |
You can call me homeboy (You can call me homeboy) |
| [02:15.89] |
If I got a quarter then you got a dime (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [02:18.08] |
And you can call me up no matter what the time (Ooh-ooh-ooh) |
| [02:20.78] |
If you watch my back then I'll watch yours ni**a |
| [02:24.10] |
You can call me homeboy (Call me homeboy) |
| [02:25.91] |
Me and you is like family |
| [02:27.28] |
And everybody know that we go back to back |
| [02:29.66] |
And we go toe to toe |
| [02:31.03] |
Comin from the west |
| [02:32.22] |
Where the sets run thick |
| [02:33.47] |
Where brothers either bang or try to make a grip |
| [02:36.28] |
I cross my heart and hope to die |
| [02:38.37] |
I never lie |
| [02:39.24] |
I run out on mine |
| [02:40.36] |
Anywhere or anytime |
| [02:41.23] |
Me and my homies don't get involved with that he say she say |
| [02:44.61] |
But if you've lost you'll recieve a a** whippin with your instant replay |
| [02:47.30] |
Or deckin like Tekken |
| [02:48.23] |
So show some respect when respect is given to you |
| [02:50.61] |
And watch out for the forty too |
| [02:52.24] |
Fake curve |
| [02:53.30] |
And fools who got the nerve |
| [02:54.49] |
To pretend that they was down |
| [02:55.68] |
When last month they wadn't even around |
| [02:57.30] |
