[Talking] For my real homies
|
That remember what they used to
|
|
Used to be the one I looked up to (A lot of people these days)
|
Tell me what the hell done happened to you (Given opportunities take them for granted)
|
And now you can't even come around (So this one right here)
|
I bet you think about it on your way down (Just exposure homeboy)
|
|
We was nothin but little boys
|
But you was about 2 years older
|
Spending most of our time in trouble and
|
Listening to my mama straight scold us
|
Be in the house before 7:30
|
Go take a bath cause you're dirty
|
And put some more greens on your plate
|
We walked to school every morning
|
Scrappin with the niggas on the corner
|
And still we're never late
|
Used to write rhymes in the classroom
|
Rock shows in the bathroom (I charge a dollar)
|
You wanted to be like Ice Cube
|
I wanted to be like Iceberg Slim
|
Remember how we made them holler
|
Being a rap singer is all you talked about
|
You got a record deal I got kicked out
|
I saw your video couldn't believe
|
You was the same nigga did bang with me
|
And didn't look like you used to ride like we used to
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Used to be the one I looked up to
|
Used to be the one I wanted to be like
|
Tell me what the hell done happened to you
|
Used to know you when you slanged in the street life
|
And now you can't even come around
|
Used to be my homie now you act like you don't know me
|
I bet you think about it on your way down
|
Remember the things you're used to
|
|
Had the nerve to come back to the neighborhood
|
After all these years (I had to keep the homies off of you)
|
Cause they sons in the school house trippin tryin to be like you
|
And its costing valuable time in they lives and mine
|
Thinkin that the only way you hot is if you rappin about the money you got
|
Nigga please you didn't always have cheese
|
Remember me I used to be with you
|
Used to slang weed in the street with you
|
Split the G with you
|
And I always believed in you
|
But now you switched up you on channel 2
|
Is them grindstones glued to your shoes?
|
Danced around lookin like a fool with your lip pierced
|
Don't you ever try to come around here
|
You a disgrace
|
The real you done got misplaced
|
Give me your neighborhood pass
|
Would you wack that ass
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Used to be the one I looked up to
|
Used to be the one I wanted to be like
|
Tell me what the hell done happened to you
|
Used to know you when you slanged in the street life
|
And now you can't even come around
|
Used to be my homie now you act like you don't know me
|
I bet you think about it on your way down
|
Remember the things you're used to
|
|
Who's to blame for the shame on what people do for fame
|
To have a name in the game
|
No love for the music
|
Remember Marvin used to do it
|
This shit meant something and you knew it
|
(And we knew it damn we blew it) These days we only wishing
|
For top position and doin anything to get them
|
What the hell wrong with them
|
Forgot about the blues and the rhythm
|
And that's why I keep on dissin and representing like I used to
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Used to be the one I looked up to
|
Used to be the one I wanted to be like
|
Tell me what the hell done happened to you
|
Used to know you when you slanged in the street life
|
And now you can't even come around
|
Used to be my homie now you act like you don't know me
|
I bet you think about it on your way down
|
Remember the things you're used to
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Used to be the one I looked up to
|
Used to be the one I wanted to be like
|
Tell me what the hell done happened to you
|
Used to know you when you slanged in the street life
|
And now you can't even come around
|
Used to be my homie now you act like you don't know me
|
I bet you think about it on your way down
|
Remember the things you're used to
|
|
Used to be the one I looked up to (Yeah for the ones who stayed real)
|
Tell me what the hell done happened to you (did they thing)
|
And now you can't even come around (And still remember what they used to)
|
I bet you think about it on your way down (Y'all know the ones I'm talking too)
|
|
Used to be the one I looked up to
|
Snoop Dogg Stay real
|
Tell me what the hell done |
