[00:20.55]Me and my homie used to be the coolest
[00:22.46]Back in the days when we ruled
[00:23.99]Those that decided to follow us thought it was cool
[00:26.58]Stealin' from the corner store
[00:28.10]Me and the homies had a motto
[00:29.72]"Whatever you get, run out, go back, and get some more"
[00:32.00]We used to bomb cars
[00:33.39]In every town we got caught or got in trouble
[00:35.09]Moms would break on ours
[00:36.68]All the homies, we was real tight
[00:38.50]Like for example three of us and one hoochie
[00:40.59]We all be stickin' on the same night
[00:42.33]Growin' up together, know each other's past
[00:44.52]If we ever need backup for whatever, be down to mash
[00:47.07]Homies for life, everybody growed up
[00:49.05]Some in the pen, couple dead, couple blowed up
[00:52.05]Always remember where you came from
[00:53.92]And never forget the homies that was all up
[00:56.01]on your side when you was in deep
[00:57.70]So this is dedicated to my G's
[00:59.72]Another track for the homies, givin' love by all means
[01:06.58]This is for my homie
[01:09.12]This is for my G's (This is for my G's, oh yeah)
[01:16.83]This is for my homies (Homies)
[01:19.14]This is for my G's (All my G's)
[01:23.08]So much money to make, so many women to break
[01:25.52]When we dropped out of school was that a playa's mistake?
[01:28.16]Moms moved to the other side
[01:30.00]These racist people
[01:30.95]Man I hated that life and I ain't never lied
[01:33.41]Had to struggle for our own good
[01:35.21]Watch my homies and my G's
[01:36.64]turn from thugs to fiends in their own hood
[01:39.24]It's a shame what we put our momma through
[01:41.23]Knowin' fools don't care on who they bring the drama too
[01:43.78]Life for you has always been a case of taboo
[01:46.35]40 ounces, SK's, and a stick of bamboo
[01:48.87]Thought you knew that life is too short
[01:51.07]Homies either dead, locked up
[01:52.76]Or they twisted with this wicked court
[01:54.65]My G's coming up short, with no support
[01:57.20]From their own kind, yet we pay it no mind
[01:59.70]And 96 pray we all rest in peace
[02:01.76]'Cause the streets make the fighters and priests
[02:03.65]This for my G's and my homies
[02:08.27]This is for my homie (This is for my homies, yeah)
[02:10.84]This is for my G's (For my G's)
[02:18.67]This is for my homies
[02:21.23]This is for my G's (For my G's)
[02:25.07]Shoo-bee-doo-bop my homies

[03:09.12]Then we grow up and down to die for one another
[03:11.67]I love ya like you's the son of my mother
[03:14.22]But now in '97 you's a bad mother
[03:16.82]We need indeed to be more concerned
[03:19.17]'Cause if you play up in the fire then you gonna get burned
[03:21.97]I ain't one to preach because I need to be reached
[03:24.41]It's a lot of brothers dead, west, south, to the east
[03:27.01]I didn't know Pac or Biggie Smalls, but I loved y'all
[03:30.11]For the love of the game, in Jesus' name
[03:32.76]We pray that everyday can be a good day
[03:35.11]Still brothers die by the blast of the AK
[03:37.86]Let the kids know that it ain't all good
[03:40.48]Hoo-riding on another brother neighborhood
[03:43.03]Get your keys at ease and don't be phony
[03:45.27]This is for the real, my one and only homie
