Hey homie listen everything will be alright
Just try to keep your head up high
I know you done struggled through this life but
We're goin' make it through this one day (x2)
Verse:
So many years of being piers and seeing tears shed between the two of us
When me and you were just some youngsters who never knew that much
You had a year on me, but we're still the same sign
You came in 78' and I came in 79'
My mama was like your mama, your mama was like mine
All they knew was church, all we knew was to write rhymes
Big dreams and little money schemes kept us going
Through times when I was sportin' the same 3 pair of jeans mobbin'
Block to block bus stop to bust stop
Spittin' freestyles and trading off on beat box
John Cobbs young Rob road dogs forever
Way before the Jon Jon and Cleva
I remember when you hooked up with this fly Filipino chick
Who had an older sister who you wound up hooking me up with
And everything was fine
I was in the next room with her getting dome for the first time
It was on. Just about to bust when her poppa came home
Heard you holler, "come on" I was gone
Zipping up while we're running up the street trying to get away
Damn, I miss those better days
Cause it seems that as we got older
Every day that passed seemed to get a little bit colder but hold up
I'ma keep this head up over my shoulders
In hopes to try to make it through for the both of us
Chorus:
Hey homie listen everything will be alright
Just try to keep your head up high
I know you done struggled through this life but
We're goin' make it through this one day (x2)
Verse:
N---as are grown now, shit is so different
You got a wife and a family ain't no time to kick it
9-5 barely getting you by got you stressing
Alcohol and nicotine helping deal with depression
This is 12 years later, ain't much changed
For the better suicidal thoughts stay on my brain
Wrote a letter to the Almighty
Told him on many days I swear He just don't like me. Cause this is cold shit
But if he let's me borrow tomorrow then I'ma take this
Pain and sorrow turn it to muscle and hustle through this struggle
No point to breathing if I ain't goin' live
Can't complain if I haven't given all I can give
Many days I look back to a time when life was just
A rhyme and hood rats, wish I could push back
The clock and make it lock from 94' to 95'
Better days in this life for both you and I
But the truth is we gotta strive through this
Leave the past behind and try to accomplish new shit
My n---a, my dog, my ace
My homeboy, my comrade for life
Cause it seems that as we got older
Every day that passed seemed to get a little bit colder but hold up
I'ma keep this head up over my shoulders
In hopes to try to make it through for the both of us
Chorus:
Hey homie listen everything will be alright
Just try to keep your head up high
I know you done struggled through this life but
We're goin' make it through this one day (x2)
