| [00:00.00] | 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) |

| [01:25.18] | 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 |
