[Intro]
Hello friend...
I haven't seen you in a while
You know I wrote you a poem
It goes...
"Now my arms are weary as I hold all this pain
From friends sense hoping out of hopes they would gain
They point the finger at me saying 'homie, you've changed'
But life's a cycle, one day I'll be the old me again"
[Verse 1]
We were once two n***as of the same kind
As kids we'd take our showers at the same time
Plotted how to get rich off the same grind
Then we had to split up around the age nine
Things became fine for me, as your pain climbed
Heard your father went broke and you blamed mine
You say I've changed? Fine, guess that I'm like aged wine
And since you're still stuck back at that stage whine
I'll forgive all your chagrin, jealousy and anger
I feel you should have grabbed them, left them on the hanger
You see certain things about a man's past
Are better off in the closet yeah baby, Lance Ba**
Now that your chance pa**ed, it hurts to see you grieving
Kept goals like a score board what's worst, you won't achieve them
We dreamed of the mansions, the boats and the Bentleys
But you can't be s**er free and be hosted by envy
[Hook]
You see the one thing that I know in my heart
Is that I'll always have love for you though we're growing apart
And though I pray that loyalty always shows on my part
There're still things I have to point out like I'm throwing a dart
I gave you love, gave you trust, and was breaking my spine
Making sure when I bust you'd part take in my shine
I gave you truth, gave you me, and was making these rhymes
Did all of that just in hopes that one day it'll be fine
[Verse 2]
We were so close almost on some Bonnie and Clide sh**
While I ran the streets you would "nine to five" it
And then you told me to stop, you were wise so I did
Exactly as you said although I tried to hide it
But you left me hanging baby and I'm asking why b**h
And hen you'll wonder why I'd lash like eye lids
Tell them ba*tards I slipped but your a** is bias
You had the old Karl's back but laughed at my pits
Guess I'm ga**ed, my pride must have made me snap
Because you turned your back on me like Mase did rap
So tell me now, who's the blame for the way we act
I still thinking of you on a daily, that
Must be partially why it's so hard to let go
Guess seeing you leave must have less though
I probably should have known this broad was danger
After love changes, your best friends becomes strangers (Pachanga)
[Verse 3]
Damn homie, in high school you was my man homie
Between football and rap I couldn't stand lonely
Played my hand, weighing grams, how them scrams know me?
It hurt that you would let them call your man phony
It wasn't over a b**h, Gianna's man so weak
I beat dude in a battle, then he tried to stone me
Watching queers dissing me, for a rare victory
I didn't care n***a, see?
I made it further with rap than you ever could
Like I bet I would, it's why it feels extra good
I got to hang around Joey, so shout out to Phel
A man on mission so I doubt I shall fail
About it as well, yes baby I will boil too
In case you wondered why I am ga**ed like the oil, fool
Wasn't that serious so I'm moving on
Can't question who won fool who's on the song
[Outro]
Uhn?
You remember like, we used to battle just to get on songs
Like, to see who would get on songs
Cause we had too many people in the group?
You're a jacka** man, you that?
You couldn't ever beat me, man
I wasn't even that good! That's the f**ed up thing about it!
You're jacka**, you're not good at all!
Where are you? Uhn?
Where are you?
a**hole, ba*tard, jacka**!
