A-Wax - Smoke Alone lyrics

[Intro] You think you know who your friends is You gon' see who your friends are Fall off, go broke boy Haha you'll see [Verse 1] I saw that C-O with that mail keep on walkin' by my cell Every day for several years until I thought 'Damn, this is hell' Finally knew that sh** was real when I went to call up my mom and all she Could do when I did was just complain about the bail I saw people younger than me doing less than me get k**ed People said they had it comin', called it destiny for real I just say that sh** I saw, I hope they rest in peace for real What the f** have I become learnin' these lessons in the field? Thought I had a down a** b**h once, she ain't even wait like six months I ain't even get my sentence yet, she was pregnant by the opp, like six months Thought I had a down as homeboy til I saw he got to go home boy Did the sh** that f**ed me up, I ain't never felt so alone boy Everyone around when a blunt get lit, disappear quick when there's funk and sh** s**a ain't wanna go ride on him, but he turn around and go punk his b**h Them ain't your friends, don't kid yourself, have that company, need to rid yourself When they got a problem they come to you, but you can't never hit them for help [Chorus] Pulled up on that bus and seen them gates open for us Before the hate go on to trust I was alone Came up on that block where they gon' race you, clear your knock Man it won't even take your lock I was alone Don't know what she thought it was, played with A-Ks, bought her d** Those things make me hard to love so I'm alone I'm about to roll this weed up, kick my shoes off and my feet up Please don't reach for sh** from me I smoke alone [Verse 2] Boy, they made your partners police, catch em with the chopper Bet they tell em that they got the sh** from you Just in case it got some bodies in the staircase they gon' probably Paint you out to be John Gotti then you're through Used to think they were your dogs Introduced you through a knot and it turned out to be the laws You went to the pen someone forgot to feed your dogs Christmas came and went no one accepted any calls Everybody know somebody doin' time in prison But don't take the time to write, the time to show how much you miss 'em It's so easy to forget, it's so hard to pay attention To somebody out of sight, when they talk it's hard to listen Which is hardly out of spite, use a knife to carve the tension There's some parts about this life don't seem right for me to mention As an artist with a mic I just write the sh** I'm feelin' Put my heart into this fight, but now basically I'm chillin' [Chorus] Pulled up on that bus and seen them gates open for us Before the hate go on to trust I was alone Came up on that block where they gon' race you, clear your knock Man it won't even take your lock I was alone Don't know what she thought it was, played with A-Ks, bought her d** Those things make me hard to love so I'm alone I'm about to roll this weed up, kick my shoes off and my feet up Please don't reach for sh** from me I smoke alone
